  Yep, HP and the Prison of Azkaban is my favorite of the 5. Yep, I went to the midnight showing of the movie along with about 500 other people. Yep, kids dressed up. Yep, I was disappointed in the theater and its presentation. Champaign is too large a town to sport not one but two googleplex cinema menageries that basically have souped up sound systems and large screen TVs. When I go to a movie, any movie but especially a special effects extravaganza, I want to be consumed.
Kinda hard to do that when the screen's only 10 feet across and I can hear people wandering the halls outside. especially for $8. Shame, Champaign. I wil drive to Hoopeston to experience the sound in it's full glory. Having said that, damn what a movie. Thank you, Alfonso, for not clinging to the book like it's scripture.
Thank you for finding the important parts of the story and highlighting them. Thank you for David Thewlis. Thank you for bringing sensuality to the table. Is it a perfect movie? No. Still don't have the creatures down, do we?
They look a little Harryhausen for the 21st century. We really should be able to do a more convincing half one creature/half another by now, shouldn't we? Still, I'm loving it. Bonus feature: Wish I was young enough that a crush on a 13-year-old boy was appropriate. There's more than one crushworthy specimen here. Basically, what urlLink he said.
Except, Ron's the one who says the dementors make him feel like he's never going to be cheerful again, not Harry.
