A Look Back At Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
|
While waiting for the release and "a look at the prospects" for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Eugene Novikov at Cinematical.com decided to look back at which book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling had the best film adaptation, so far.
He believed Alfonso Cuarón's direction of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban "not only did right by the book, but expanded it, improved it, and brought it to life".

Prisoner of Azkaban Named On Best Movies For Kids List
|
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is #19 on Entertainment Weekly’s The 20 Best Movies For Kids:
"Any Harry Potter flick is good for the young ones, but Azkaban, directed by Alfonso Cuarón, is the best of the bunch. Why? Because it concocted, for the first time, a real magic world, and gave those who live in it — Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the lot — real weight as characters. Azkaban's about learning to mind one's temper, keep track of time, and hold on to family, wherever one many find it (even in prison)."
Other movies included The Lord of The Rings trilogy, Shrek, The Incredibles, and of course, The Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music.
