Quick Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Interesting movie. In many ways the best of the 3 HP movies to date.

I particularly liked the part they gave Emma Watson (Hermione). Oh, she got to be the sceaming damsel in distress during a couple of scenes, but she also got to be the brains and show some real nerve toward the end. She got to show that she is "the smartest witch of her age," and she got to show the courage that got her into Griffindor house.

The cuts - though few - that were required to fit this book into even a long movie, make me wonder how much of Goblet of Fire had to be cut.
