Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban (2004) 7/10

Starring : Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane
Director : Alfonso Cuaron
Running Time : 136 mins

Probably the best of the Harry Potter films so far, not in the least due to the presence of Gary Oldman as Sirius Black, this film sees Harry enter his 3rd year at Hogwarts School of Wizardry. This time the eponymous hero finds his life in danger when news gets out that convicted murderer Syrius Black has escaped from the magical prison Azkaban and is out to kill him!

This film may not be as long as the others, but it still feels too long for a childrens film. The effects aren't bad, but typically of the Warner studios you can still see the joins.
