This third 'Harry Potter' movie adaptation based on the popular book series by J.K.Rowling is an amusing and delightful masterpiece.

The story takes us to, Harry ( Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends Ron( Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) who return as teenagers to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their third year of school. Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), a former friend of his late parents who is a convict has escaped from the Azkaban prison and he is after Harry's life. To protect Harry, Hogwarts is guarded by the frightening dementors who are capable of keeping Black off. These creatures feed off their victims' happiness leaving them with only sad memories and are a danger to anyone who treads on their path.

. Harry makes friends with another friend of his late parents, Professor Lupin (David Thewlis), who takes Harry under his wing and teach him tricks to fend off the dementors. Meanwhile Harry finds out that Sirius Black was the one who betrayed his parents to Voldemort and then Harry is off to get revenge.

Veteran director Alfonso Cuaron brings energy, vision and new life to the third Harry Potter film. He does an excellent job with the make believe landscapes and events like flying broomsticks. The part-horse, part-eagle creature called a Hippogriff introduced in Hagrid’s magical animal class and the sequence of Harry riding it, is amazing. As a dazzling story teller with an eye for detail, he has made this movie a visual delight. The movie has more depth and life than the previous ones. Cuaron has succeeded in transforming Rowling's text book fairy tale imagination into a wonderful work of art, filled with stylish magical entertainment.

The lead characters trio, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are growing at the same rate as their roles in the film. All are loveable and likeable in their roles. They are outgrowing from their childhood to teenagers and hopefully they will stay with the series until it ends. New characters in this series include David Thewlis as Professor Lupin and Gary Oldman as Sirius Black Thewlis as the professor of defense against the Dark Arts and Gary Oldman as the murderer vs. kind character are excellent. It is a great film and is filled with magic which will be enjoyable for the young as well as the old alike. Overall this third film of the series is a charm indeed.

We rate this film very Good.
