Title: The best "Harry Potter" yet
Review: A far darker and more mature film, The Prisoner of Azkaban is proof that the Harry Potter franchise is growing up.Based on the book of the same name, this third entry in the Harry Potter epic follows Harry during his third year at Hogwarts. The twist this time around is that there has been an escape at the heavily guarded wizard prison of Azkaban, and the escapee is supposedly after Harry.Far more intense than previous entries, this movie is more appropriate for the preteen and older crowd. "Azkaban" also showcases one of the growing problems with the franchise - the stories are becoming too long and involved for a 2 hour movie. For those who have read the book, a great deal had to be cut and condensed to accommodate the timeframe. However, none of these issues keep "Azkaban" from being an excellent film.Recommended for 12-year and older fantasy and Harry Potter fans.
