Let's Watch: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Nat, Gen V S2 (The Boys universe) is on and I hope you react to it, as well as Wednesday S2

The best movie, 2nd best book 😉

I swear if you don't watch Wednesday Season 2 I'm going to have the biggest pouting fest in history.

You spoil us! I thought I'd have to wait years for another Harry Potter installment, this made my week. As I said I know nothing of this franchise, so seeing you two with your boundless enthusiasm and endless knowledge, makes these films a real treat to watch. Also the shock on my face when I realized this was directed by Alfonso Cuarón, director of some of my favorite films (Y Tu Mama Tambien and Love In the Time of Hysteria). As Nat said this movie had a more cinematic feel and a lot of interesting shots and composition. That combined with the incredible lighting, big shadows and silver beams of light, gave this movie a darker and heavier feel to it compared to the first two, and that's all due to Cuarón's directing style. Had a blast with this, loved the film, loved the reaction.

More Coogles!

Okay I might actually watch this, it's the only one of these films I remember liking. I recall David Thewlis is in Azkaban, too, and he's great in everything so that helps :)

prisoner of azkaban is a masterpiece i love this franchise sm bro. my rankings of the movies always change but it always stays top 2 for me, no notes

If you love David Thewis (Lupin) you should see him in The Sandman on Netflix dude gives one of the best performances I’ve seen in years. Also Hermione says they can’t be seen but then they run out of the clocktower through the courtyard right past the executioner their past selves just walked past 2 minutes earlier. I don’t know maybe he didn’t lift his head up from polishing his ax that time.

Truly the best movie in the franchise and I’m glad we can recognise that! Regardless of any of Rowling’s freakish crashouts since then, Alfonso Cuaron you will always be famous Lupin the GOAT 🫶🏼 Sirius, my king 🫶🏼🫶🏼 and the kids shot up like roots omg they’re HUGE compared to Chamber of Secrets And I alwayssss get goosebumps with that last “EXPECTO PATRONUUUUM” Insane to give time travel abilities to a 3rd year high schooler btw, what was McGonagall on 😭

peacock seems to insert their own extra scenes according to google, they had access to deleted scene they just throw into the theatrical. Think their dumb commercial fades add time as well, bit annoying - but yeah should just use amazon prime from now on, peacock sucks lol fun fact: in the end credits there's two students doing it on the bottom left side xD

I think this might actually be the extended version after all.. Before Snape starts his substitute class it seems like y'all had a scene of Sir Cardogan replacing The Fat Lady but that scene wasn't in my copy 😅

Also that random black kid, who's not in the books, not in any movies before and after this lool. He has two lines: "Taking the form of a giant spectral dog, it's among the darkest omens in our world. It's an omen...of death." and "That's right. Black could be anywhere. It's like trying to catch smoke... like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands" Bro was aura farming for a few scenes and just dipped looool.

I'm stuck waiting for a CT scan, at least this gives me something to look forward to.. thanks Natalie and Lila for sharing this with us..

I haven't watched the reaction yet, but in case Nat wasn't aware, this film was directed by the same director as Children of Men.

Nooo but the Dursleys don't secretly love Harry lool. They truly hate him, they're probably scared of what Dumbledore might do if they didn't keep him. Remember Dumbledore sends a Howler ("Remember my last, Petunia") to Aunt Petunia in Order of the Phoenix to remind her that she needs to keep Harry at their house when the uncle was on the verge of kicking him out after the Dementor attack on Dudley. He'd explained in the first letter he'd left them when Harry was a baby why Harry had to remain at their place (the blood protection spell).

I freaking love PoA for how they perfectly nailed the atmosphere, the visuals and the score but I hate how it butchered the parts of the book I loved the most.. Still one of the best Potter movies for sure!

Hey does your friend play games? If yes has she played Hogwart's Legacy?

Happy Tuesday Nat. Been looking forward to watching this one with you guys. Definitely my favourite one. Love the scarves 😍😊 I think officially there are no extended versions of this movie or any of the following Potters, but some tv versions have inserted the deleted scenes to extend the runtimes. John Williams' score for this movie is just so good. Really enjoyed watching this evening. Thanks Nat and Lila for your awesome movie co-reactions. They've been a lot of fun to watch along to 💛
