Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Directed by Alfonso Cuarón
United Kingdom, United States
2004
141 mins

Year three at Hogwarts means new fun and challenges as Harry learns the delicate art of approaching a Hippogriff, transforming shape-shifting Boggarts into hilarity, and even turning back time.

But the term also brings danger: soul-sucking Dementors hover over the school, an ally of the accursed He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named lurks within the castle walls, and fearsome wizard Sirius Black escapes Azkaban.

And Harry will confront them all.
