There's something to be said for a film that takes its franchise in a totally new direction (i.e. All the films have relatively the same setting, characters, and tone, but Prisoner of Azkaban is clearly a part of a maturation process for Harry. Not only is Harry dealing with the angst of trying to be independent from his muggle family, but he then is forced with coming to terms with an estranged family member returning to find Harry, Sirius Black. Harry and his buddies have turned 13, his first year of his teens, and this film subtly tackles some common issues that an early teen has. Especially considering how family friendly the first two installments are, but no matter the subtitle, Harry Potter films always maintain that fun atmosphere. HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN TORRENT KINGS SERIESWatching the Harry Potter series within days of each other can be a tough adjustment. Of course, I would have liked to see a bit more scenes from the book added, but I understand time restrictions.As the trio gets older the films become a little darker and more mature. All in all, I give this a 5 out of 5.fantastically done. Children will love this for the wizardry and magic, the struggle between Harry and his foes, the friendships that abound, and the simple fun of it all while adults will love it for bringing them back to a time when magic was, indeed, real. But for the rest of us, Chamber of Secrets accurately depicts what until now, only our imaginations could see. It is not for the die-hard action fan, the horror-only fans, or those that dislike a bit of magic, imagination, and fantasy. HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN TORRENT KINGS MOVIEThe movie undoubtedly draws you in and makes you forget that this isn't real.quite an acheivement! Of course, not all moviegoers will enjoy this one. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson do superb jobs of playing Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The set design for Diagon Alley and the Weasley house was fabulous! How wonderful to see these places come to life outside of our imaginations! This stays true for nearly every aspect of om the greenhouse, to the moving staircases, the dorms and Dumbledore's office. However, with both Harry Potter movies, the visuals were spectacular, the acting well done, and the characters almost perfectly matched. As an avid reader, I am quite hesitant to see my beloved books displayed on screen only to have the directors do them no justice. Sure, some things were left out undoubtedly due to time constraints, but overall, it conveyed the story well. However, when I saw the first Harry Potter, I was terrified it was going to be "butchered" like most "books to movies" are but was pleasantly surprised by the relatively "stick to the book" script it displayed. I chose to read it to them so we could ALL enjoy it.and we did! Naturally, the kids were excited when the movie came out. Having three daughters I have a choice when a great book comes out: buy three of them (EXPENSIVE!!), force someone to wait until the other is done before they can read the book (sure, I enjoy breaking up fights!), or read it to them.
