The third installment of the Harry Potter films was ready for a original director, and Alfonso Cuaron seemed a likely choice. Chris Columbus was admirable in his fidelity to the region of the first two books, but as Harry becomes a teenager and faces a more complex life, Columbus’s candy-coated style is no longer appropriate. So it was with immense anticipation that I looked forward to the “darker” style that Cuaron promised.
In some respects I was not disappointed. Cuaron’s interpretation of Harry’s world is defined by inscrutable shadows and colored in misty greens and greys, rather than red-and-gold tapestry of movies one and two. This fresh palette is more natural, and in keeping with that, far more of the movie takes location out of doors. Cuaron gives Hogwarts a greater sense of age as well, making a crumbling courtyard and rickety bridge over a gorge central to many scenes. These locations, as well as the ample pendulum in the entry hall and clock face that Harry sits inside at one point, are a nicely subtle arrangement to weave in the movie’s (and book’s) theme of time and how the past can’t ever be completely undone.
Cuaron handles some scenes very well, especially brief, telling gestures or moments that provide character definition, such as the bit where Hermione grabs Ron’s hand which made it into the trailer, and another where the two of them have an awkward conversation outside the Shrieking Shack. Other highlights include Harry and his dorm-mates up gradual eating candy that makes them impersonate animals (touchingly shows how very teenage they are) ; and a moment when Sirius, trying desperately to occupy Lupin support from his change to werewolf, places his hand over Lupin’s chest and says “You live in this heart!” - which is made all the more poignant because we know he can’t end the transformation.

Some status points have been sacrificed in order to maintain the film to a manageable length. Most of the time this works, as when Harry meets with Snape and Lupin in a beautifully lit nighttime corridor, precipitating the handover of the Marauder’s Draw and Lupin’s realization that Peter Pettigrew lives; or when Harry receives the Firebolt from Sirius at a different point in the movie than in the book. There were, however, two changes which seemed inexplicable to me. First, the patronus charm is made into a shield of light rather than an animal which charges down the dementors. This eliminates Harry’s discovery of his father within himself through his stag patronus (he does witness a stag of light when he rescues himself at the lakeside, but when we explore him from the perspective of rescuer there is no stag, and this is never explained) . Similarly, even though Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are named on the Marauder’s Way, the nicknames and their relationship to Lupin, Pettigrew, Sirius, and James Potter is never explained. It would have taken only a few more minutes to add that explosition, which would have strengthened Harry’s cinematic connections to his father tremendously.
All in all, I deem it’s possible that the viewers who delight in this film the most will be those who haven’t read the book. As someone who is very familiar with the Harry Potter book series, I kept finding myself hung up on the changes to the narrative (and unbiased how grand depth was lost) even as I enjoyed the magnificent cinemetography and deft handling of characters’ relationships. My hope is that whoever directs film four is able to rob some of Cuaron’s artistic sensibilities and combine them with Columbus’s sense of wonder and attention to location detail. That would truly do Harry justice.
I loved this particular movie when compared to the series as a whole, but this is not why i’m writing this review.

This review concerns the “bonus” say for people who pre-order the dvd here on amazon. The “screensaver” is not an gripping screensaver of the marauders scheme as you might judge, which actually would have been quite nice if it had been done in the style of the intention in the movie. You will be instructed to download a seperate application which will steal over your windows screensaver functionality. The application is not very intuitive to employ and I’ve since deactivated it. The “Marauders Diagram Screensaver” itself is nothing more then 3 random images of indistinct parts of the in-movie Marauder’s Arrangement with giant “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” logos that splashed everywhere. Its not very visually lively as a screensaver and the images in concept aren’t very well done.
Just want to obtain certain that other people are aware of what exactly this bonus dispute is, and aren’t buying the dvd here purely because of this. There is no marauders arrangement style animation occuring here, and all that will be displayed are static images. I pre-ordered it here purely based on getting this bonus impart, and I was rather disapointed with what i received.
