I've seen it!

Hello! Long time no see. I have just returned from seeing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! I feel a bit weird now, I don’t remember the last time I’ve been so excited about seeing anything or the last time I’ve waited for so long. And now that it’s over I feel a bit deflated, a bit like after OotP. No, don’t get me wrong, I did like it, it is so much better than the first two, and a really great piece of filmmaking. Before I begin my very, very Spoilery review let me just say that I’d read all reviews and spoilers and seen all pictures that I could get my hands on. So I knew about most line changes, different things etc. That was good, for me at least as I was able to enjoy this simply as a film rather than getting frustrated about the little things. Ok, that is a bit of a lie, since I made the mistake of starting to reread the book, only got half way through, which was good, as I didn’t remember the details so well, and therefore less of “Hey, that’s so not canon” ensued. Also, it needed to be longer!

 

 

( Now follow the spoilers, and when I say SPOILERS, I mean it. Please don’t read if you don’t want to know everything about it!! Also, I make no promises of a coherent, structured review, have attempted to do one, but then I kept remembering more )
