Movie review - "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (2004) ***

The series gets a new director, more of an artist... Alfonso Cuaron, who moves the camera around more - a lot more, indeed after a while it was like "alright Alfonso, you can stop moving the camera around".

I like how they're aging the characters - hair more toussled, ties undone, a bit more rebellious. The plot concerns an escaped prisoner (Gary Oldman) who may be bad, a new master of the dark arts (David Thewlis) who may be bad. I liked bits of this like the reveal of a rat, and the final shot, but didn't find the story as compelling.
