Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban: Why It’s The Best

1. I need to read the books and watch the films again. I miss the innocence and depth of the beautiful world. I want to dive back into my childhood world of wonder and magic.

2. i remember when i saw the movie when i was 5 years old. the part when the dementor came on the train made me squeeze my moms arm.

3. Also, little nuances like constant clock ticking in the background, when hermione and Harry goes back in time, made the movie even better.

4. This one is still my favorite, I love the way Mr. Cuaron directs his movies. It has so much style compared to the other movies.

5. Does anybody wonder, how the movies that are made today will define our century in terms of culture and humanity as a whole to someone in idk 2568 A.D. Some one in that era , some kid in the future is gonna have the same awe and amazement you had when you first watched harry potter. Their life will never be the same when they travel into the world of hogwarts

6. You just made me cry. Your videos are so good. Thank you for this

7. The guy who directed this film also directed Roma!!

8. Though the cinematography on the third movie might be great, there are internal tone conflicts that I simply can't get over. The move tries too hard to be funny, sometimes making the movie look like a Saturday cartoon. Just as one of the many examples, there's that hideous scene where Hermione is being thrown around by the Whomping Willow, and then she proceeds to grab Harry by his shirt, she passes by him, he looks down to her hand, he looks back to the camera and then he is sent flying off, AND immediately after this ridiculous scene we get a serious one where we know the truth about Sirious. I mean, the movie is filled with those moments, and I just can't get over it.

   Besides that, Michael Gambon was a horrible Dumbledore. Always way too angry for my taste.

9. Shouts to Lupin

10. It ended on a freeze frame.

11. Absolutely bloody brilliant

12. I prefer Chamber tho

13. Hello thank you for your great work , i wanted to suggest a trilogy that have so much material to go through in my opinion, M Night Shamalan's Unbreakable, Split and Glass ,hope you share the same appreciation of the unorthodox patterns in filming and screen writing of these movies.

14. If you have seen Roma. Oh my very brave move making it black and white. He's manipulation with Reflection that's just he's signature.

15. Personally, I prefer Chamber Of Secrets. But Prisoner is my second favourite.

16. I keep on coming back to this video when I feel like rewatching the series. Alfonso Cuaron should've handled the series from Prisoner of Azkaban. Imagine if he did, some of the characters and relationship developments that were rushed in the films (ehem Harry and Ginny's) could've been better.

17. Finally someone else thinks this is the best, and they made a whole video about it….. well I guess that's good!

18. Thank you! Now I understand why this has always been my favorite movie out of the series. It all makes sense now.

19. Order of the Phoenix is my favourite one but this one is for sure the second. Umbridge in that one as a villain though. It’s impressed me

20. I’ll buy all of the movies, let’s see… I bought the first movie, it’s great! I am half way up to the ending, but I think all of the other movies will be great, but in my opinion the first one is like reading a chapter for 1 minute and moving on… books are and will be always the default read for Harry Potter, for me.

21. Hands down my favourite Harry Potter movie.

22. the ps2 game was the best too xD

23. Definitely my favourite movie out of all 8

24. Start the video with x 0.75 speed

25. Dark, Gritty, Great scenes as well as moments!! Great character development……take notes Snyder!

26. Just finding your videos and this and the "What does magic sound like?" blew my freaking mind. I'm a freelance filmaker but also a HUGE harry potter fan, so these videos were not only massive learning points and entertaining, but emotionally stimulating as well. Thanks for these man!

27. A bit far fetched.

    some arguments aren't that good or solid

28. And now Cuaron won the Oscar for best director! Just goes to show how talented he is.

29. I wish Cuaron would have came back a made my favorite book. The goblet of Fire

30. Loved loved loved this film out of them all. My only gripes were the absence of the Marauders explanation as a clearer connection between the three most important characters in the film (Lupin, Sirius, Pettigrew), the casting choices (Gary Oldman may be phenomenal but the Marauders were very young… Harry's parents were only 20/21 when they were killed, Remus and Sirius should be 33), and tbh the Lumos Maxima scene because it feels as canonical as a musical number. I know some say that the Marauders weren't that important, but considering that these mysterious characters Harry leaned on ended up being the primary antagonist, secondary antagonist, and his mentor figure, and the books for the most part are mysteries, that clue was quite important.

31. You know why The Prisoner of Azkaban is the best?

    BECAUSE HERMIONE GRANGER PUNCHED DRACO MALFLOY IN DA FACEEE!!!!

32. What a brilliant film analysis

33. Movies ARE passive. Viewers have to either accept what’s given or turn it off. Very little thinking is required. One of the biggest goals of a director is to try to create similar emotions that the books create, which is difficult. Passing through the glass is to give the feeling of curiosity, suspicion, wonder, the unknown …it’s the outside coming in. Has nothing to do with actually sitting at a window and looking at the literal outside world. I can’t believe he even said that. No point.

34. well i now have a more compelling answer to those who ask why is prisoner of azkaban my fav.
    loved this video man <3
