Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban [Blu-ray] (WSE)

short description is not available

After directing the first two movies in the {#Harry Potter} franchise, {$Chris Columbus} opted to serve as producer for {#Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban}, and passed the baton to {#Y Tu Mam?? Tambi??n} director {$Alfonso Cuar??n}. Though "immensely popular" is an understatement when it comes to {#Harry Potter}, {#Azkaban} is somewhat of a departure from its predecessors, and particularly beloved among fans for its surprise ending. {#Prisoner of Azkaban} also marks the introduction of {%Sirius Black} ({$Gary Oldman}), who has escaped from the title prison after 12 years of incarceration. Believed to have been the right-hand-man of the dark wizard {%Voldemort}, whom {%Harry} ({$Daniel Radcliffe}) mysteriously rendered powerless during his infancy, some of those closest to {%Harry} suspect {%Black} has returned to exact revenge on the boy who defeated his master. Upon his return to school, however, {%Harry} is relatively unconcerned with {%Black}. Run by {%Albus Dumbledore} ({$Michael Gambon}) -- who is widely regarded as the most powerful wizard of the age -- Hogwarts is renowned for its safety. {%Harry}'s nonchalance eventually turns to blind rage after accidentally learning the first of {%Black}'s many secrets during a field trip to a neighboring village. Of course, a loose serial killer is only one of the problems plaguing the bespectacled wizard's third year back at school -- the soul-sucking guards of Azkaban prison have been employed at Hogwarts to protect the students, but their mere presence sends {%Harry} into crippling fainting spells. With the help of his friends {%Ron} ({$Rupert Grint}) and {%Hermione} ({$Emma Watson}), and Defense Against the Dark Arts professor {%Remus Lupin} ({$David Thewlis}), {%Harry} struggles to thwart the Dementors, find {%Sirius Black}, and uncover the mysteries of the night that left him orphaned. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide.
