The one with the creepy theme music.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third Harry Potter film, released in 2004. It was the only film in the series directed by Alfonso Cuarón, as Chris Columbus, who directed the previous two, opted not to return in favor of spending time with his children.Sirius Black, a mass murderer believed to have been a supporter of Voldemort, has escaped from the wizarding prison Azkaban, and is allegedly out to kill Harry. In response, the Ministry of Magic sends Dementors, a race of dreadful wraith-like creatures, to guard Hogwarts. But the Dementors are not particularly choosy about who they seek to capture or debilitate, and they seem to have an unusual attraction (and reaction) with Harry in particular.The film's defining characteristics are its darker tone, both in terms of subject matter and cinematography, and its being the series' first distinctly pragmatic adaptation, taking a more character-driven approach that sometimes deviated from the events of the book. Both of these distinguished it noticeably from the light and faithful approach of Columbus's movies.While the film has gone down as arguably the most controversial installment in the series for this reason, it opened to significant critical success and is highly seen as an apex for the series not only in terms of quality but influence, as future films took similar risks to abandon a linear perspective in favour of more cinematic elements.Came out one year after Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix hit bookshelves.Followed by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Canon Foreigner: The filmmakers added Shrunken heads that have the ability to talk, probably to add humour. So far these creatures have been unique to this film only. In an interview on the DVD release, J. K. Rowling said the addition of the shrunken heads had her full support, and she only wished she'd thought of them herself. The Hogwarts choir doesn't exist in the book and Alfonso Cuarón only added it for the film. However, it was later mentioned in the sixth film as well (in the scene in which Professor Flitwick uses "emergency choir practice" as an excuse to escape a conversation with Professor Slughorn). The part of Bem was created solely for the film. He explains to Seamus Finnigan what the Grim is and also expresses his concern over the Dementors' effectiveness at catching Sirius.

Darker and Edgier: This goes with the ageing of the characters and thus the target audience along with them. It marks a distinct turning point for the film franchise, where everything from the music to the cinematography to Hogwarts's very architecture has taken a turn for the complex and the noir.

comment
Chaos Architecture: Hogwarts has a drastically different layout—both inside and outside—than how it appears in previous films, and most of it stays this way for the remainder of the series. In-universe, this can be handwaved by the magical properties of not only the school but its inhabitants. Out-of-universe, the director was interested in making creative changes that he hoped would have a lasting impact on the series. This was also the first movie in the series to have been filmed at Leavesden Studios in London after WB bought it so they were able to build enough sets that they didn’t have to film on location like the first two.

The Cameo: The Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown has a cameo as the man in the Leaky Cauldron reading A Brief History Of Time while using magic to stir his tea. He was a friend of Alfonso Cuarón. Julie Christie, star of Doctor Zhivago, appears for one scene as Madam Rosmerta. Despite being a Recurring Character in the books, this is Rosmerta's only appearance in the films.

However, only a bit of his voice can be heard when he laughs before Aunt Marge kisses him and when he grunts the first time and the second time after two of Aunt Marge's buttons fly off her shirt and hit him on the forehead those two different times.

Funny Background Event: When Harry and Hermione are going back in time in the infirmary, one can see somebody getting completely wrapped in bandages from the waist up. When Harry is walking the streets after leaving the Dursley home, Marge can be seen still floating around in the night sky yelling for help. When Hagrid is announced as a teacher, Draco silences Crabbe who claps for Hagrid. When Hagrid asks who wants to ride Buckbeat, while everyone else backs up, Neville can be seen hiding behind a boulder.

Adapted Out: Florean Fortescue (the ice cream seller) as Harry's three-week stay in Diagon Alley does not happen since he arrives the day before he's due to return to Hogwarts. Because most of the Quidditch season is never shown, Cho is not introduced. When she first appears in the next film, it's a Remember the New Guy? introduction. Sir Cadogan, although his role of replacing the Fat Lady as Gryffindor's portrait appears in a deleted scene (available as a special feature on the DVD release). The elderly member of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures who attends Buckbeak's execution is not present in the film.

comment
Took a Level in Kindness: Downplayed, and only an isolated case, but Vernon is much more subdued in this film, even readily agreeing to sign a Hogwarts form if Harry behaves himself at dinner. It helps that he manages to look a saint next to his even more spiteful and downright cruel sister Marge and that he's clearly frightened of what Harry is capable of. Snape compared to his book counterpart; when Lupin transforms into his wolf form, Snape immediately shields the heroes by putting himself in front of them.

Adaptational Heroism: We don't get the scene of Snape forcing Neville to feed a faulty potion to his toad, with Snape gleefully saying if Neville got it wrong, then Trevor would die. In the book, Snape had been unconscious because of the spell cast by Hermione, Ron, and Harry and had to be suspended in mid-air by magic to be brought out of the Shrieking Shack. He was not there to protect Hermione, Ron, and Harry when Lupin transformed into a werewolf, but in the film, Snape was left behind but suddenly regained consciousness to protect Harry, Ron, and Hermione from Lupin. In the book, Snape regains consciousness only after Sirius, Hermione, and Harry become unconscious because of the Dementors.

Malingering Romance Ploy: Draco is genuinely injured by Buckbeak the hippogriff, but plays up the severity of the injury because Pansy Parkinson is fawning over him. Much later, when Ron is injured by the Whomping Willow and enjoying Hermione's concern, he does something very similar, remarking that the leg might need to be amputated. (Needless to say, it does not.)

Near the beginning of the film, there's a Freeze-Frame Bonus where a wizard in the Leaky Cauldron is seen reading A Brief History of Time. The last act is based heavily around time travel.

Shrunken Head: The film has a number of talking shrunken heads, most prominently the one on the Knight Bus that speaks instead of Ernie, the bus driver. They are mostly wise-cracking Plucky Comic Relief characters, although they also provide some exposition. They don't appear in the book, though J.K. Rowling has said she wishes she'd thought of it.

Forgot About His Powers: Despite using the Freezing Charm in the previous film to defeat an entire army of pixies, Hermione seemingly forgets about it in this one, leading to her and Harry struggling to make it through the Whomping Willow. Lupin didn't forget and immediately uses it to freeze the plant so he can enter the secret passage to Shrieking Shack.

Adaptational Badass: In the books, Harry needs Ron's and Hermione’s help to subdue Sirius Black. Here, it’s just him and he uses much less effort. Later in the scene, he performs a fully-fledged Expelliarmus on Snape using Hermione’s wand, a feat that would be much more difficult using a wand that hadn’t chosen him and was only accomplished in the book by Harry, Ron, and Hermione using Expelliarmus on Snape simultaneously.

In the book, Crookshanks supposedly eating Scabbers causes a huge rift in Ron and Hermione's friendship, and Harry points out that Ron is probably right, causing Hermione to be angry at him too. In the film, there's just a brief scene of Ron and Hermione arguing about whether Crookshanks did it, with Harry apparently staying neutral, and it's more or less Played for Laughs.

comment
Adaptational Nice Guy: Snape tells Dumbledore that Harry needs to know the truth about Sirius Black. Snape in the book was perfectly fine with keeping Harry in the dark. And if anything, he always criticizes Dumbledore for telling Harry anything because he doesn't think he's capable, competent or anyone special, and he outright resents Dumbledore for giving Harry private lessons and telling him stuff that he doesn't tell Snape. Also, when he realizes there's an angry werewolf standing behind him, the first thing he does is push Harry, Ron, and Hermione, three students he loathes, behind himself to protect them. In the book, he was knocked out for the entire event. Likewise, the entire sequence earlier in the book where Snape sadistically tries to test Neville's dodgy potion on the boy's pet toad is removed. The film also never specifies that Snape was the one who let slip that Lupin was a werewolf unlike the book.

Denser and Wackier: At the same time, besides being a Breather Episode, the film's tone shifts to more overt Tim Burton-style quirkiness in its comedic moments. Even the ominous scenes have swapped the previous Voldemort-centred mood for book-specific spooks, such as werewolves, the Grim, or Dementors.

comment
Foreshadowing: Near the beginning of the film, there's a Freeze-Frame Bonus where a wizard in the Leaky Cauldron is seen reading A Brief History of Time. The last act is based heavily around time travel. During the Care of Magical Creatures Class, when Hermione runs up to tell Hagrid to take Malfoy up to the hospital wing, her Time Turner can clearly be seen around her neck. Lupin teaching Harry's class how to deal with the Boggart, a magical creature that is warded off with the combination of a spell and positive thoughts, foreshadowing him teaching Harry how to deal with Dementors. We learn that the Boggart can take on the form of a person's greatest fear. When Lupin pushes himself in front of Harry to protect him from the Boggart-Dementor, the boggart turns into a full moon. This is the most obvious hint at his true nature as a werewolf. In the very next scene, Snape has to cover Lupin's class (because Lupin is "unable to teach at the moment") and he jumps ahead a few chapters to do a lesson on werewolves. He then finds an excuse to assign the entire class (or maybe it's just Gryffindor) a report on werewolves, focusing on recognizing them, due the next day. One extremely subtle one — the silent executioner, Walden MacNair, grins at Harry when he walks past him. Goblet of Fire will reveal that he's a Death Eater. During the first Divination class, Ron's prediction for Harry is that "You're gonna suffer, but you're gonna be happy about it." How does Harry deal with the Dementors at the climax? Using the Patronus Charm, a spell that needs happy thoughts. Doubles as another sign for the ending where Harry has to be separated from Sirius Black, who is now his only legally recognized family left. Despite finally finding a godfather in him, he now has to let him get away or else he will be sent to Azkaban.

Oh, Crap!: Harry and Hermione have this reaction when they realize they've followed Scabbers actually Peter Pettigrew towards the Whomping Willow. Ron has one immediately after when he sees what he thinks is "the grim" really Sirius Black standing behind Harry and Hermione. Hermione when she notices the full moon a few minutes after they get out of the Shrieking Shack, due to one of the people with them being a werewolf. Said werewolf Professor Lupin also looks terrified as he changes to his werewolf form, while Sirius tries his best to bring him to his senses and asks if he's taken his potion to control his condition. Pettigrew is also visibly cowering at that moment.

Loophole Abuse: A Boggart can assume the form of a person's greatest fear, but can be easily defeated provided the wizard can think of something funny to transform the creature into. However, if the Boggart takes the form of a Dementor, it can drain the victim's happy memories, leaving them helpless against it. As Harry learns later in the film, the only way to counter the Boggart in this scenario is with the Patronus charm, which is much harder to master than the ordinary Boggart-banishing spell.

Adaptational Explanation

comment
Adaptational Explanation: In the book, Harry realizing that the Patronus that saved them all was his own comes as a random "Eureka!" Moment. The film adds a few more scenes of future Harry and Hermione influencing past events (like Hermione throwing the rocks into Hagrid's hut to warn their past selves, and howling to distract Lupin in his werewolf form), so there is a solid basis for Harry's realization.

Demoted to Extra: In the book, Crookshanks was a significant supporting character with some considerable Amplified Animal Aptitude. In the film, he only appears a couple times and seems to be a normal cat. Cedric Diggory, the Hufflepuff Seeker, is present in the film, but only in a cameo and is never referred to by name. He gets a proper introduction in the next film, where he has a much more integral role.

Irony: The students are taught that, to defend themselves against a Boggart, they must transform the monster into a source of laughter, so Parvati casts a spell that turns it into a giant Jack-in-the-Box. However, Harry is shown to be disturbed by the clown, as it reminds him of a Dementor. This enables the Boggart to transform into such a creature, which is far more dangerous than any of its previous forms.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Dudley is taking the sight of his own aunt blowing up into a balloon much too calmly and focuses more on dinner and the TV when she floats off. True, it's clear he isn't exactly fond of his aunt, but still. When Marge comes out of the house and starts floating away into the sky, Petunia's response is... to wave slowly, as if Marge were merely driving away. Marge's reaction can qualify as this to herself getting blown up. Her response is to call out to her brother to help her as if this was a normal occurrence. She then chastises him not to let her go when she is about to float away outside. Normal people would freak out that they are blowing up like a balloon and floating away.

Lupin in his werewolf form also does this when confronted by Buckbeak. A werewolf is clearly no match for a pissed-off Hippogriff, and the werewolf wastes no time getting away from Buckbeak.

Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Despite the film's reputation for being angsty, this happens to Ron and Hermione's subplots: In the book, Crookshanks supposedly eating Scabbers causes a huge rift in Ron and Hermione's friendship, and Harry points out that Ron is probably right, causing Hermione to be angry at him too. In the film, there's just a brief scene of Ron and Hermione arguing about whether Crookshanks did it, with Harry apparently staying neutral, and it's more or less Played for Laughs. The book features Hermione becoming noticeably distressed and overwhelmed from taking so many classes with the Time-Turner, but in the film, she seems to handle the extra classes just fine. Hermione walking out on Divination and hitting Malfoy were portrayed in the book as instances of her snapping due to all the extra stress, but the film just treats these moments as isolated incidents.

Meta Casting: David Thewlis and Gary Oldman, who portray Remus and Sirius respectively, were frequently typecast as villains and criminals, usually murderers, in other roles prior to their casting in this film. To viewers familiar with these actors, this immediately paints Sirius as a dangerous threat while also making Remus seem potentially suspicious and untrustworthy, making it even more surprising when both characters turn out to be Good All Along.

Brick Joke: While riding the Knight Bus, the shrunken head warns Harry that "If you order the pea soup, be sure to eat it before it eats you." Later, while talking with Fudge, he offers Harry some pea soup, which Harry adamantly refuses.

Abandoned Playground: The first indications of the Knight Bus's arrival include swings that start moving softly, as does a merry-go-round and a seesaw. The effect is excellently eerie.
