    i thought it was the best movie i have ever seen all 3 of the movies were really really really good but i thought that this one was the best out all of them.and i hope that the 4th is just as good or even better.when i first heard that it was coming out i begged her to take me,and after i saw the movie i was stunned cause i knew it would be good just not that good.i also knew that it would be good because i read the 3rd book twice and it was always my favourite book .god i could go on forever and ever about how good this movie is but i wont.

    After reading the comments, I have to both agree and disagree. Yes, the Whomping Willow was in a different place. Yes, Dumbledore was not as good as in the previous movies. But I`m afraid the people writing that this movie sucked didn`t look past the flaws. This movie is a wonderful experience with tallented actors, wonderful settings and stayed fairly true to the story. Congrats to the cast and crew of HP3, and boo-hoo to all you dislikers.

    It`s a Big Dissappointment comparing it to the First two movies. The new dumbeldore looks like a hobo or a tramp. Accuracy to the written story was Way! Way! off. The new site for Hagrids cabin, I though was on the edge of a nice lawn not down a bloody mountain goat path. Some your kids in the theater we scarred silly by the were wolf scene. The leaky Caldron is not the way JK writes it. That place looked like a dump. I love the Harry Potter books and most of the characters. Malfoy in this episode goes from one second cursing Hermione to the next blabbering in fear. Anyhow, I was disappointed with the Prisoner of Azkaban movie. I hope the g

    Okay, one thing. I hated it. I`m a major HP fan, and when I saw the movie I was disgusted. They cut out half of the good scences, and what they left in was different. They added scenes as well, which strayed far from the book. I was constantly explaining what was going on to one of my friends, who hadn`t read the book. Really fake crying by Radcliffe. Dementors DON`T fly. Harry DIDN`T get the Firebolt at the end, but in the middle of the year. Actually, he gotr it a Christmas, not by owl post. The ending was weird also. The werewolf looked totally fake. The whole werewolf scene was not in the book. In other words, they messed up bad.

    I gotta tell ya, I like the first 2 alot better. This one lacked alot of the magic and feeling of fantasy opposed to the first 2 movies. I still give it a postive review but not as good at 1 and 2. I hope the 4th one really makes up for this one. PS. Lord of the Rings still kicks its butt even though they are totally different. I figure you are either a LOTR or HP fan.

    Disappointing. This is the most disappointing film of the year. In no way does it follow along with what is in the book. The book was scary, and had a plot to it. The film is not scary at all, its more laughable than anything, and there is no plot in this film, it ended before it started. It is a good thing I read the book beforehand to know what was going on, otherwise, it is a waste of $12. Wait for it on DVD to rent it. But even then, you will have felt robbed. Bring Chris Columbus back, or someone who will go by the book. This is a hack job. Alfonso Cuaron totally destroyed the wonderful visions set out by the first two films. Instead of

    Meh. How can anyone like such a movie?! I hated their portrayal... someone once said that the younger viewers are bound not to like this movie because it is more "mature"... I`m 14, I`ve read the whole series and have my own interpretation of the difference between whimsical, and "magic". I think that Christopher Columbus provided more of what viewers pictured while Alfonso Cuaron put whatever fit for the third movie alone. I believe that the director should be someone that has read the WHOLE series and actually understands what it`s all about. One word to say about this movie... disappointing >:(
