Harry Potter Prisoner to Greatness

The new Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban is, to quote Ron Weasley, "Bloody brilliant!"

Yeah, I just got done seeing the new Harry Potter movie, and it is awesome. I enjoyed the first two movies immensely. But I was a bit disappointed, mainly with the graphics. Lots of fancy computer character generation, and yet it still looked fake.

I gave up at last worrying about it. But there wasn't much need because Harry Potter is no longer a prisoner to that bad habit. The graphics were beautifully done. The only rough spots were the transfer into motion. Like when Harry first jumps on the Hippogriff and takes off. You can sorta see the graphic simulation take over. But in the grand scheme of things, that's nothing!

Better yet, the acting is better!

Well, acting, directing, you name it. This story had SO much more emotion instilled in the story. It was an emotional broomstick ride: laughing, nearly crying, jumping with shock, scared for our heroes. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban just hit home. No doubt about it, this was the best movie yet.

Not having read this book, I can't say how tight it follows the script. I've heard conflicting reports. My sister was disappointed with the script, but she seemed to enjoy the movie.

Any case, keep your eye out for this DVD. I'll buy it when it comes out. Meantime, I'll just have to the book. Find Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban here.

Speaking of DVDs, keep an eye out on The DVD Review to find out how the DVD stands up to C. Wayne Owens' personal reviews when it comes out.

Oh! One final note.

I had snickering thought (tehe). Hermione's cat had a wee role in this third Harry Potter movie. I couldn't help, but have a sneeking thought to learn more about the kitty for my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD. But then I'll have a LOT of research to do. And I still haven't done my cat song for Red Dwarf. So many great cats and so little time.

That's it. Go see Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban now!
