Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban | Canadians First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | Commentary 

Please more than 1 Harry Potter movie per monthe! Its not enough

"Are they actually twins, the actors?" They were asked that question in an interview. Being Scottish and therefor sarcastic from birth, they deadpan replied "No, we met at the audition, it was quite the stroke of luck."

Fun fact: chocolate releases serotonin (the “happiness hormone”) so Remus telling Harry to eat chocolate every time he encounters a Dementor is actually really good advice considering they suck away all your happiness

Fun fact: the night before Harry and his friends' return to Hogwarts was a full moon. So, Lupin was sleeping in the train because he was too tired because of his transition into and from a werewolf.

To help the actors get into character, Cuaron asked the actors to write an essay on their character. Daniel wrote a simple two page report, Emma wrote multiple pages, and Rupert forgot to do his essay.

Loved all the theories about Hagrid at the start. Each one completely wrong but great that you’re engaged 😂

Lupin was not in love with Lily, they were simply very good friends. As a werewolf he had a very difficult life, people treat him like shit. And like he said Lily was extremely kind. That was very good for him, he wasn't used to people being good to him. And also she was married to his best friend, they are supposed to have a good relationship.

Michael Gambon was recast as Dumbledore as Richard Harris died shortly after filming Chamber of Secrets. And you are right Harris was more softly spoken but I quite liked Gambon as well outside of Goblet of Fire and the infamous scene which you will see 😭

"Why are they always surprised that she's there?" Well if you noticed when the camera transitioned through the mirror, she actually wasn't there. The same thing happened in Trelawney's class earlier. Harry and Ron were sitting alone at the start of the scene, then Hermione just appeared out of thin air. Some very cool foreshadowing of the time turner.

Omg. I just realized after so many years. The first spell Ron tried to do in the first film at the train was to turn his rat yellow but it failed cuz his rat was not a rat at all.

In my opinion he was so hyped about seeing his dad alive his emotions where running super high, then he realized it was himself it made him even more happy as he realized he had the power he had the knowledge and he was going to save his godfather. All together powered his Patronus to astro levels

This is one of my favourites in the series! someone has probably already told you this, if not I promise this isn’t spoilers for the movies! They don’t mention it but I thought it’s a cool bit of plot that this movie missed out on The marauders map was actually made by James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew! That’s why the nicknames are moony (Remus-werewolf), wormtail (Peter-rat), padfoot (Sirius-dog) and prongs (James could turn into a stag) that’s why Remus already knew what the map was and didn’t question it, when Harry said to snape about keeping his large nose out of other peoples business it wasn’t him just being sassy he was actually reading what the map was saying, because if anyone tried to read it without saying the right thing the map insults the reader instead! Remus was bitten really young at 5 years old by a werewolf and in this world being a werewolf is a horrible thing, it’s a disease and for a lot of people it’s worse than death you are really sick and it’s painful, there’s a lot of prejudice against them and if people know they doesn’t treat you like a human. However Remus was the first werewolf to go to hogwarts because of Dumbledore and he gave him a safe place to transform every month, which is the shrieking shack and dumbledore planted the whomping willow tree that hits people on top of the passage way so people won’t go near it and find out about what was happening because they had to keep the fact that Remus was a werewolf a secret because if people found out people would be outraged and want him out. James, Sirius, Peter and Remus became friends in 1st year and Remus had to lie a lot to them about why he disappeared every month and why he was always injured and very sick, but they managed to figure out the reason a year later but accepted him and decided not to tell anyone but they felt horrible about how he would badly injure himself every month because being locked up as a werewolf caused him to scratch and bite at himself while he transformed so they decided to become animagi to turn into animals to help him through his transformations since werewolves were fine with other animals and keep him company and it took them years to do this since it’s very complicated and advanced and also dangerous, that’s why they can all turn into animals! That’s also how Sirius managed to escape because no one knew he was an animagi (turn into a dog) because they did this without people knowing, so he turned into a dog and was that skinny from being in prison he managed to slip out and escape undetected, and the reason he escaped was because the photo of Ron and his family on that trip to Egypt in the paper, were Scabbers (Peter) was perched on his shoulder and recognised him immediately so he set off to kill him. This is mad long sorry but it’s just incase you want to know! And it also explains some things that were left out in the movies

The umbrella is actually his wand that was snapped after he was expelled Dumbledore fixed it and made it look like an umbrella so people wouldn't know and yes unfortunately the original actor for Dumbledore past away and had to recast

The Marauders Moony - Remus Lupin Wormtail - Peter Pettigrew Padfoot - Sirius Black Prongs - James Potter The other three became animagi so that they could be around Remus when he transformed during the full moon because a werewolf bite doesn't infect you if your already an animal

You'll notice the movies get much, much darker as the trio get older. JK Rowling was going through a dark time when writing this book and she's said the Dementors represent her depression during that time. This is one of my favorites of the series and always love Gary Oldman in anything.

To answer your question at 6:55 - They can't just use the chimney to get to Hogwarts because it's not allowed by the school for security reasons. Also not every chimney is connected to the floo network. They also can't apparate inside Hogwarts because the school has anti-apparition charms, also for security reasons. The Hogwarts Express is a safe, more manageable and discreet method of transporting dozens/hundreds of wizards at a time. It also helps logistically as it ensures all students get to school at the same time. Keep in mind the train was not always around. In the past when trains did not exist, wizards made their own way up to the school through various less discreet, less safe methods. It wasn't until the muggles invented the train that wizards copied the concept.

Yes, Dumbledores Actor sadly died before this movie was filmed, and the actors for Fred and George are actually twins

25:34, you are mentioning the grounds and the way the environment is filmed. For this movie, Cuaron in cooperation with Rowling completely redesigned the actual setup of Hogwarts, repositioned the entrance to the common room and just generally made the whole layout make sense. Really cool, you can totally feel Hogwarts feeling like an actual place!

"Hagrid Starts a Gang," the wildest episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia to date.

I don't know if anyone said this. Remus Lupin is the best Defense Against the Darks Arts Professor. He really made every lessons interesting and fun. If the movies just made a good montage of that, but the way they made the Boggart lesson scene is incredible too. He also pays attention to his students, letting Neville takes the first try. I really love him that's why I was bawling my eyes out during the scene where he resigns, both in book and movie. He needs a job to earn because as u can see his clothes is so fancy unlike other teachers, he can't get a job because he gets discriminated being a werewolf. This is my favorite book and movie, btw.

The most egregious change they made from the book was that moment when Snape calls Hermione an "insufferable know-it-all" and Ron whispers to Harry "He's got a point you know." In the books this was such a horrible moment that Hermione was silently crying and Ron was so enraged that he snaps at Snape, "You asked her a question, she knows the answer. Why ask if you don't want to be told?" and earns himself detention

35:20 "Voldemort didn't come into existence because German economy was failing." This is my new favourite commentary of ANY RU-vid reaction channel.

The Marauders are the most interesting group in Harry Potter for me. You can read a lot of backstory about them and they were a nice group of friends who were up to no good.

Dumblebore's "did what?" is one of my all time favorite line reads.

"He's the one teacher who actually taught harry a lot of things". One of the two, actually. The other one being Snape. The brilliant part being that he taught him without even realizing he did. Harry learned things by simply watching him. Love it. The action of shielding the kids was very telling. Snape was TERRIFIED of werewolves, and yet his first instinct was to defend the trio. That was what should have clued us in to his real story.

I absolutely love how active you guys are as an audience, with theories and thoughts and ideas just thrown out there willy-nilly 🙂 too many reactors just sit there kind of quietly and hum or scream when action happens. I think part of why I love your way is that 1: there are two of you, it gets that natural interaction going without you having to play it up for the camera, 2: you are both interested, neither of you were semi-reluctantly shanghaied by a well-meaning friend/sibling/partner and 3: it certainly doesn’t hurt either that you guys are such awesome friends that it just pours through the screen😉 As a massive Harry Potter fan who’ve read the books... one too many times, your theories and predictions and interpretations are incredibly interesting. All those things I take for granted and never had to think about you are spinning and turning inside out and upside down til I barely know which way should be up any more - and I absolutely love it!! 😃😍🤩🥳 such a fresh perspective, and you guys are so observant and willing to guess that it just makes you an utter pleasure to watch. I eagerly await the Goblet of Fire and will amuse myself with some of your Speed till then 😜 Thank you so much for sharing your awesome with us mere mortals 🧙🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♂️ /L!zz Also, I haven’t checked if anyone else has answered already (they probably have...) but Dumbledore is somewhere around 150 years old at this point in time, wizards live quite a bit longer than us mere muggles.

The sequence in the Shrieking Shack, with all the revelations, is so tightly structured that one slight change would bring down the whole structure.

Emma Thompson can play absolutely an character. Her filmography is amazing.

I love that you guys noticed Snape protecting the kids.

Prisoner of Azkaban is the best Harry Potter book and movie. The later ones get more serious, darker, and more contiguous; this is the last really contained narrative, and in my opinion, best balances serious and entertaining. And the stable time loop is very well handled.

Whenever you feel sad, just remember lupin’s words. “Eat. You’ll feel better.”

Funfact: In the Scene were everybody is sleeping in the great hall Daniell Radcliff (Harry Potter actor) asked the Producer if they will putt his Sleepingbag next too a girl He liked. However the Snape and Dumbledor actors puld a prank on Him and putt a fartingmaschin in his sleepingbag and embarest Him infront of everyone. 🤣 Poor Radcliff

I must add; when Snape tell off poor Hermione in class, in the book Ron was outraged and said out loud the same as you did. And got detention for it. Book Ron is a bit different from the goofy movie Ron. Brave, funny, rude and very loyal. And he has the knowledge about the wizarding world Harry and Hermione lack. In the movies Hermione knows the wizarding world better than Ron. Weird.

Remember that the twins with the map see Ron sleeping with a man named Peter every night and never brought that up. Just something to think about.

36:20 lol this is the exact thing that Harry thinks in the books. He imagines him living together with Sirius.

39:11 "I'm still uncertain about Snape." That's PROFESSOR Snape, George! But Siriusly, take a look at Snape's stance and movement just about 30:28 It looks pretty strongly like someone putting himself between children and a threat, to me! Edit: Come to think of it, that could be symbolic of his personality -- between a child, and a threat.

1. Yes, sadly Dumbledore's old actor Richard Harris passed away after the second movie and had to be replaced with Michael Gambon. 2. The revelation that Peter Pettigrew was Scabbers all along actually helps explain why Harry didn't see him when looking for him in the hallway at night. He wasn't invisible, he was sneaking around as a rat. If you listen closely during that scene, you can actually hear scurrying and scratching sounds. 3. Sirius turns into dog, not a wolf. Granted a very vicious and wild looking dog, but still. 4. *BOOK SPOILERS, DON'T READ IF YOU PLAN TO READ THE BOOKS AT SOME POINT:* (sɹǝlʇuɐ ɹǝǝp ǝɥʇ ɟo ǝsnɐɔǝq) sƃuoɹԀ = sǝɯɐſ (sʍɐd s,ƃop ǝɥʇ ɟo ǝsnɐɔǝq) ʇooɟpɐԀ = snᴉɹᴉS (ɯɹoʍ ɐ sǝlqɯǝsǝɹ lᴉɐʇ pǝʞɐu s,ʇɐɹ ɐ ǝsnɐɔǝq) lᴉɐʇɯɹoM = ɹǝʇǝԀ (ɟloʍǝɹǝM ǝɥʇ ɟo ǝsnɐɔǝq) ʎuooW = snɯǝɹ ˙sǝɯɐuǝpoɔ ɹᴉǝɥʇ ǝɹǝʍ ,sƃuoɹԀ, puɐ ,ʇooɟpɐԀ, ',lᴉɐʇɯɹoM, ',ʎuooW, puɐ 'dɐW s,ɹǝpnɐɹɐW ǝɥʇ pǝʇɐǝɹɔ oɥʍ sǝuo ǝɥʇ 'sɹǝpnɐɹɐW ǝɥʇ ǝɹǝʍ ʎǝɥʇ ʇɐɥʇ pǝlɐǝʌǝɹ oslɐ s,ʇᴉ 'ʞooq ǝɥʇ uI ˙ɹǝǝp ɐ oʇuᴉ uɹnʇ plnoʍ sǝɯɐſ puɐ ƃop ɐ snᴉɹᴉS 'ʇɐɹ ɐ ǝɯɐɔǝq ɹǝʇǝԀ ˙sǝpɐdɐɔsǝ ʎlʇɥƃᴉu uo snɯǝɹ uᴉoɾ puɐ ʇno ʞɐǝus plnoɔ ʎǝɥʇ os 'llᴉʍ ʇɐ lɐɯᴉuɐ ǝlƃuᴉs ɐ oʇuᴉ uɹnʇ uɐɔ oɥʍ spɹɐzᴉʍ 'ᴉƃɐɯᴉu∀ ǝɯɐɔǝq ɹǝʇǝԀ puɐ snᴉɹᴉS 'sǝɯɐſ 'ɹǝpᴉsʇno uɐ ǝʞᴉl lǝǝɟ ʇou snɯǝɹ ǝʞɐɯ oʇ ɹǝpɹo uI ˙ɯoɹɟ pǝʇɐuᴉƃᴉɹo pǝʇunɐɥ ƃuᴉǝq ʞɔɐɥs ǝɥʇ ɟo sɹoɯnɹ ǝsoɥʇ puɐ sǝsᴉou ʎɹɐɔs ǝɥʇ ǝɹǝɥʍ sᴉ ɥɔᴉɥʍ 'ǝɯᴉʇ ʇɐɥʇ ƃuᴉɹnp ʞɔɐɥS ƃuᴉʞǝᴉɹɥS ǝɥʇ uᴉ ǝpᴉɥ sʎɐʍlɐ plnoʍ ǝH ˙ɯɹoɟsuɐɹʇ llᴉʇs plnoʍ ʎpoq sᴉɥ 'loɹʇuoɔ ƃuᴉsol ɯoɹɟ puᴉɯ sᴉɥ ʇdǝʞ ʎluo ʇᴉ 'ʇᴉ ɹǝʇunoɔ oʇ uoᴉʇod ɐ pɐɥ ǝɥ ɥƃnoɥʇ uǝʌǝ puɐ 'ɟloʍǝɹǝʍ ɐ sɐʍ snɯǝɹ ʇɐɥʇ ʇno punoɟ ʎllɐnʇuǝʌǝ ʎǝɥʇ ˙pɐp s,ʎɹɹɐH 'ɹǝʇʇoԀ sǝɯɐſ ɥʇᴉʍ ƃuolɐ 'looɥɔs ʇɐ spuǝᴉɹɟ sɐ ɹǝɥʇǝƃoʇ ǝɯᴉʇ ɹᴉǝɥʇ ɟo ǝsnɐɔǝq sᴉ slɐɯᴉuɐ oʇuᴉ uɹnʇ oʇ ǝlqɐ ǝq oʇ uǝddɐɥ llɐ ʍǝɹƃᴉʇʇǝԀ ɹǝʇǝԀ puɐ uᴉdn˥ snɯǝɹ 'ʞɔɐlq snᴉɹᴉS ʎɥʍ uosɐǝɹ ǝɥʇ

There are reason for Snape being the way he is, that will become clearer as the movies continue, it does not get explained quite as well as in the books, but still gives you an idea of why he is who he is.

The answer to like 90% of all worldbuilding questions in Harry Potter is either "stubborn adherence to tradition", or "political corruption". It becomes more and more apparent over time that the British wizard society has... issues. (The inhumane treatment of hippogriffs or the almost literal "Hell on Earth" that is Azkaban don't look all that out of place next to the elf slavery from the previous movie...) Voldemort started as just a regular dude, but his power and influence didn't just come from nowhere. Your comparison to German history is actually _very_ on point...

"bad people are the worst" profound wisdom from simone😌

I think that Richard Harris and Michael Gambon did a great job as Dumbledore. Harris got the kind nature and voice down perfectly while Gambon got the physicality and energy of the character done better. When I re read the books I imagine it with Gambon's appearance and Harris's voice.

I love the director for this movie. The wide establishing shots of the grounds/scenery is really nice and I loved seeing exactly what I imagined from the books. I'm glad they kept those kinds of shots through the rest of the series

A lot of people like this third movie because of Alfonso Cuaron's direction. He brought a seriously comedic dark sense of humor (like the whomping willow plucking the twittering birds) to the story. Plus, the cast had really come into their own as actors by this movie. Add to that the performances by new supporting actors Emma Thompson, David Thewlis and Gary Oldman, plus a lot of clever plot twists (thank the book for that), and you have one of the top Harry Potter movies, for sure. And yes, Richard Harris, the original Dumbledore, unfortunately passed away after the second movie.

The time turner seems to create closed causality loops so that even though you can go back in time, you can't really change anything that has already happened.

Regarding Hagrids umbrella, it isn't mentioned in the movie but it's implied in the books that when he was expelled for getting framed by Riddle, his wand was snapped (which is basically just shy of execution or exile, as far as wizards are concerned) and he was able to somehow use the pieces of his wand while making the umbrella, which is why he used it to do magic. Which is sort of tragic.

there's a great story about filming the scene where all the kids are sleeping on the floor. somebody snuck a remote control fart machine into Daniel's sleeping bag & activated it as Dumbledore & Snape walked past. there's footage, it's quite funny.

To answer why they don't only use teleportation as transportation: Hogwarts is OLD magic, basically has tons of protective spells that limit things like teleportation.

Ohhh yes I've been waiting for this! Here's where the series gets really good!

Lupin was never in love with Lily. He thought of her like a sister. And because he was best friends with James, when they started dating, she was already around. He felt so comfortable around her because she was so supportive of him, just like his friends.

The Wizarding world has such different standards of safety from us because they can fix almost any problems or injuries quite easily with magic. We saw Harry regrow bones in the last movie. So their safety standards aren't as high as ours

The Patronus is my all-time favorite spell. The full Patronus is downright beautiful (and the music is epic).

The movies get more serious and dark because, not only are the characters growing up, but the original child readers were also growing up.

You shouldnt forget that Snape probably didnt had an Wand when shielding the Kids from Lupin. Going against an Werwolf without an weapon to protect someone is even more impressive in my eyes.

Hmmmm, "Support your local Coven" on t-shirt, Maggie the cat.... (Slowly piecing things together) If I only had a large, hanging scale and a duck to weigh her against.

That kid talking about the grimm, made the absolute most of the few lines he had in this movie ...so memorable

I love who they cast as Professor Lupin and Sirius Black. David Thewlis and Gary Oldman are incredible actors with sensational characters in their repertoires. Two of my favorite villain roles from David are the evil King Einon from Dragonheart and the God of War Ares from the movie Wonder Woman. One of my ultimate favorite Gary Oldman roles is Commissioner Jim Gordon in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy of Batman movies.

I can't wait for your reaction to the fourth one, that's my favourite. Oh and Dumbledore made sure he had plausible deniability, I loved that. Regarding Snape, he is still a teacher and responsible for the safety of the students and he REALLY wants to get the position of Defense of the Dark Arts teacher so apprehending two potentially dangerous criminal wizards would give him hell of a resume.

My favorite little detail in this films is when Lupin has turned into his werewolf form, and Snape comes over and puts himself between the trio of kids and Lupin, pushing them behind him with his arms out... they had only ever showed what a dick he is to everyone up to this point, and it's the first time I remember the hint at the possibility that maybe there's a good side to him too.

The Marauder's Map was created by Moony (Lupin), Wormtail (Pettigrew), Padfoot (Sirius Black), and Prongs (James Potter). Once Lupin became a werewolf, the other three friends (Pettigrew, Black, and Potter) studied and each became an animagus whose animals (Rat, Dog, Stag) also became their individual Patronus form. They did this so that they could wander with and keep Lupin under control when he was in werewolf form. The book covers this in detail while the scriptwriters never really brought out this aspect of Harry's history.

The moment of your videos I like the most is the speech before watching the movie, when you try to figure out what will happen and you don't get even close. 😄

People can only use Flue Powder to go to or from the Headmasters office, otherwise Hogwarts is sealed off from teleportation, hence the train/boats/thresteges...

13:25 Those glass tracking shots, long single takes, lax rules about uniform(you can see the students wearing their uniforms more casually) and elaborate sets instead of CGI were the brainchild of Alfonso Cuaron. These simple directorial changes moved the game ahead, and pushed the bar further higher for the film series and its view of Hogwarts.

"I only know that because of World of Warcraft." Speaking of WoW, Legion was a year old when I finally realized one of the hippogryphs in Suramar was named Beakbuck, and I felt like an idiot for never actually looking at it's name sooner.

Like Richard Harris before him, Michael Gambon has also now passed away.

The worst part of finding a channel like this is at first there are lots of reactions to watch, then there are none, because you watched them all way too quickly.

Harry's Patronus is so powerful, mostly because he knows he's done it before

Alfonso Cuaron directed this film and his previous "Children's movie" was A LITTLE PRINCESS (which used a lot of those "IRIS FADE IN;FADE OUTS" transitions), so it was cool seeing this in theaters and knowing it was that director by that style (although these are the only two movies he used that trait in)

I think my most favorite part of the movie is how Dumbledore knows everything that's going on. And how he was stalling to give them time to rescue Buckbeak. Also right before the scene between Hermione and Malvoy you can see her hand in the background because they were watching.

You can’t go back in time and remove the reason you went back in time, like killing Voldemort, that would be a paradox. They saved the hippogriffe, but their pasts elves didn’t know they did. The movies use a stable time loop concept: whatever you do after going back to the past, you already did. You can’t change that.

Also time turners can only go back in time for like 6 hours, and in this they never changed anything, everything they did when they went back in time already happened so the hippogriff never died in the first place, if they went back in time and killed Voldemort if that was possible he wouldn’t be here already

So someone will explain this in more detail but the Marauder’s Map was created by Remus Lupin (Moony) Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) Sirius Black (Padfoot) and James Potter (Prongs)

This is my favorite movie of the series, and Alfonso Cuaron also directed Children of Men, Gravity, and Roma. ❤️

You might have caught it, but one of my favorite quotes of all time is in this movie! "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." Also, if you watch the credits you can see a guy and girl on the Maurader's Map in what seems to be a very sexual position 😂😂

This film feels WAY more how the books read. Parts 1 and 2 are great but Director Chris Columbus adds that “Disneyesque” campiness to it. This film is where the story becomes darker in tone and this Director really captures that. You guys should read the books.

The original actor that played Dumbledore past away after chamber of secrets. The actors that play the Weasley twins are twins in real life

The knight in the background paintings-Sir Cadogan (a Don Quixote analog)-has a very minor part in the books. He is tasked by Dumbledore to search all of the paintings in the school until the fat lady is found.

Did you guys see who's the actor for Sirius Black?

This is my favorite of the series but they do get even better as they go.

I love that the marauders map shows Newt Scamander walking around the school lol.

Fun Fact: In the books this is explained but when Peter, Sirius, James and Remus were in Hogwarts Remus was attacked and turned into a werewolf! Remus' friends wanted to help him so they became Animagus' so they could hang out as animals! The Marauders Map is what they used to sneak around after hours! Moony (Remus Lupin), Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew), Padfoot (Sirius Black), and Prongs (James Potter)!

I love that quote, "Is he a good person but also just a dick?" 🤣🤣 Perfect way to explain Snape

Thank you guys for this video it really helped me calm down after my anxiety attack. "Snape is a good person but he’s also a dick" was hilarious and accurate

The Dementors are basically a physical depiction of depression - like Ron said "I felt weird though. Like I'd never be cheerful again." They go to Harry because of his trauma and all his bad memories, even his suppressed ones like his parents death. If they perform the 'kiss' and suck out your soul you're still living - but you're basically nothing more than an empty shell. THat's why no one's been able to escape Azkaban, people don't have the will to even try and escape because they keep reliving all the worst moments of their life - remember how Hagrid was sent there for a short while, he kept reliving the day he was expelled from Hogwarts, the day he had to let Norbert go and the day his dad died, and that it was like being born again when he was allowed to leave. the knowledge that he was innocent wasn't a happy one but it kept Sirius from going insane, then when he saw Peter in rat form on Ron's shoulder when his parents won that money and went to Egypt and got their picture in the paper about it he was able to hold onto it because it also didn't count as a happy thought, and he was able to find the strength to escape as a dog (dementors are blind, they sense humans but not always animals).

The Marauders who made the Map are Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. Mooney: Remus Lupin. (Werewolf.) Wormtail: Peter Pettergrew. (Rat.) Padfoot: Sirius Black. (Dog.) Prongs: James Potter. (Stag.)

The actors for Fred and George are actually twins

So to help you with a few of your questions, yes fred and george are actually played by twins. the marauder's map was made by a quartet of trouble making students at hogwarts, non other than james potter, sirius black ,lupin, and peter petegrew. Known repectively as prong, pad foot, moony, and worm tail) james, sirius and peter all learned how to turn into animals to accompany lupin when he turned into a were wolf so they could keep an eye on him, as were wolves wouldn't attack animals with out reason unlike how they attack humans on sight.

A little trivia: in the scene where Dumbledore and Snape are walking past students who are sleeping on the floor. They had to reshoot that scene several times because the actor who played Snape had a fart machine and he kept hitting it when he past the Daniel, Rupert and Emma, causing them to laugh and so they had to redo it.

The books explain why Harry continues to go back to the Dursleys every summer.

"Azkaban" is where the Harry Potter movies truly begin. The first two Chris Columbus movies are really just laying pipe. From here on out, all of them have their joys -- though this is the last Potter film that John Williams scored, so the music is never quite as epic and emotional.

What really annoyed me about this movie was that many of Hermione’s lines were actually Ron’s in the book. When Hermione said to Sirius, “if you want Harry you’ll have to get past us first!” Ron was the one who actually said that despite having a broken leg. And I really didn’t like how Ron agreed with Snape when he called her “an insufferable know-it-all.” In the book Ron actually flat out yelled at Snape right in class because he was mad at how he treated Hermione. I will never understand why the filmmakers treated Ron so poorly in both this film and other films. It’s not until the last two films that he was finally given his great character 180 like he should have been from the beginning.

Richard Harris was the first actor play Dumbledore but he was having diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and unfortunatly died in 2002 after working on Harry Potter 2

I was looking forward to this reaction and I love it! Keen guesses!! well done! Now I'm looking forward to the next Harry Potter film!!

The first good Potter film in the series. And still my favorite of the series.

Alfonso Cuaron is certainly the best director of the entire saga But that doesn't mean they should bring him back for FANTASTIC BEASTS They should hire a different director, to bring something new

The terrible thing about Dementors is that not only can they suck out every good emotion within you to the point that you will eventually reach an unrecoverable depression but it won't physically kill you so you'll be a husk of a shell of your former self,oh and it doesn't matter where you are they can always find you even in the comforts of the muggle world,those things are the reason Dementors are so much more terrifying than even Voldemort himself

Professor Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and James Potter were the Marauders and so created the Marauders Map. Lupin is Moony, Pettigrew is Wormtail, Sirius is Padfoot and James is Prongs

Snape, Lupin, Sirius Black, James Potter (Harry's dad) and Peter Pettigrew were all friends at Hogwarts. They created the Marauder's map. That's how Lupin knew how to close it. They all had secret names that would show on the map. Sirius Black's name on the map was Padfoot. I can't remember the other names. I'm sure someone will help me out.

When you can fix just about anything with a spell or potion danger seems a bit less worrying than it would to muggles...lol. Hermione is too based in logic for divination to be acceptable to her. In the books that is her biggest fault. She only accepts things that make some kind of logical sense to her.

In the book it tells us there are major laws about the use of Time Turners because of the potential of someone causing massive troubles.

The first two movies established the wizarding world, from the Prisoner of Azkaban each movies has a story but also the long story arc really begins. Can't wait to see your reactions! Enjoy!
