A few mistakes

Harry Potter was already very popular when this film was released. For some commercial effects, the screenwriter added a lot of comedy elements and quite bold adaptations. However, improper handling of some details led to serious logic problems.

In the opening part, Harry practiced fluorescent flashing spells under the sheets, violating the rule that minors are not allowed to use magic outside of school. (This rule is repeatedly mentioned in all seven books, and it plays a very important role in the fifth book. Harry was almost cut off with a wand for using magic outside of school.) Let us assume that the screenwriter originally wanted to Ignore this rule in this book, but Uncle Fernon shouldn’t threaten “you can’t use magic outside of school” after Harry boasted about his aunt. Harry responded “try me” and Fernon said “they won’t Let you go back again, you have nowhere to go" This shows that the rule that minors are not allowed to use magic outside the school still exists. The contradictory logic in the movie will be discovered even if you haven't read the original.

The invisibility cloak is not effective against the dementors. The school principal in the movie did not explain it. This can easily lead to misunderstandings, why Harry didn't put on the invisibility cloak and sneak out when he visited Hodmore Village for the first time. In the original book, it was because the invisibility cloak couldn't help that twins gave the map to Harry with great kindness.

In the book, when Lupin was in class, he blocked Harry before Bogut became a dementor. He thought Voldemort would appear. In the movie, Bogut has become a fucking dementor. When Harry asked why he was not allowed to practice, Lupin said, "Isn’t it obvious, I thought Voldemort would appear", and he has become a dementor. That's weird! What do you think!

Theoretically, the clothes of Animag will not be retained after transformation. This is not written in the book, but the scene in the first film where Professor McGonagall turns from a cat to a human on the podium illustrates this point. At the same time, Wormtail changed from a patch to a human being without being naked. I don't know why the clothes fell off when the human turned into a mouse. It is understandable that the clothes were torn when the werewolf transformed. The book explains what an Animag is and the two points that must be registered. It is not in the movie. I think there are still loopholes in the careful examination. The audience who has never read the book does not know the nature of Animag, and may be I thought they could become other animals or something.

In the original book, when Lupin took Harry to practice calling for the protection of God, the strongest happy memory Harry chose was not from his parents, but from his being told that he was a wizard. I don't think there is any benefit in making such changes in the movie. Because Harry couldn't remember anything about his parents, only horrible screams and green light. But this is not a logical error.

There is also a plot that did not cause logical errors in this episode but has an impact on other episodes: Three broomsticks prohibit minors from entering. The three broomsticks in the original book are the main battlefield for many gatherings, and Harry’s interview in the fourth part is on the three broomsticks.

Why did Rosmertta, the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks, drink tea with Professor McGonagall and the Minister? The original text is that a group of teachers are in gossip, and the boss's wife is interjecting.

Harry walked rampantly in Hogsmeade wearing an invisibility cloak, leaving footprints, and bumping into people. The first thing was not his character, even if he was angry, he wouldn't do it. Although the second invisibility cloak is not a human hand, it is not a particularly unusual thing (his is only the best), he is so reckless, it is impossible for people to guess that someone is wearing the invisibility cloak. He came out of the Honey Duke with a red lollipop in his hand. Are you stupid? How can you eat sugar if you don’t put it under the cloak? Isn't this a bug? Then, don’t you doubt it?

Harry Potter will wear an invisibility cloak when he goes out at night from the first movie. There is a curfew at the school. But this time he didn't wear invisibility cloak, it was a bug. It's just that the screenwriter arranged for his map to be discovered, so as to fit the plot in the book. The book originally stated that his invisibility cloak fell when Hogsmeade beat Malfoy, his head was exposed, and Malfoy went back and told Snape.

In the movie, why does Lupin use the spot map without Harry teaching, but Harry never asks. Lupin said at the end of the book that he was the face of the moon. In the movie, there is obviously this opportunity, but the screenwriter refuses to let Lupin tell the truth when he bids farewell. In the movie, the name of Bigfoot Wormtail Pointed Fork Moon Face appeared two or three times, one of which humiliated Snape. If you haven't read the book, and the movie doesn't give an explanation, these four names are meaningless, so it's better not to show. The prongs are the alias for the image of James Shepherd and the form of Harry's patron saint. In fact, it is a mysterious reincarnation of the relationship between father and son. It is a shame not to say it. After all, the friendship of the four people, the death of Harry's parents, and Harry's views on Snape were repeatedly mentioned in the following book.

Harry saw Sirius in the crystal ball, which was not a logical error, but did not respect the original. Rowling repeatedly questioned the possibility of prophecy being learned in the novel. This is talent. Tea crystal balls are all nonsense. Trelawney has been portrayed as an unreliable liar in both novels and movies. The two occasional predictions have a great influence on the development of the plot. This is because her great-grandmother is a great predictor and she was hired. The reason was that her life was in danger after making the prediction, and Dumbledore was equivalent to protecting her.

The necklace that can turn time back in the movie is pavement. In the book and in the movie, Hermione behaved fascinatingly this semester. Ron said "where did you come from" several times. In the book, we read that Hermione has such a thing, so when you can take several courses at the same time, you can think of Rowling’s foreshadowing when you look back, but it’s hard to recall the director’s foreshadowing in the movie, because there are only two or three times, ron. After asking this sentence, it is easy for the audience to think it is a comedy effect and ignore it.

Dumbledore’s seven films are not good enough. Dumbledore’s key words definitely include humor and elegance. Neither of the actors captures his charm. Too harsh. The role of Dumbledore has holes in almost every movie. He will never call move among students! move! of.

But this one actually has a lot of surprises for those who are familiar with the original, the chorus of the opening dinner, the soundtrack of all the films, the scenery shots, and the performance of Trelawney.

The book becomes a movie, and there must be missing details. To be honest, it's just that too many people have read too many books, and they're just picking up faults here.

    Alfonso Cuaron took over the baton, directing the third film in the series, and Gary Oldman also gave a good performance. The duration is controlled at 141 minutes, 18 minutes less than the Philosopher's Stone, and 33 minutes less than the Chamber of Secrets, which shows that the narrative is compact. The film has changed the straightforward and slightly bloated narrative of the first two films. The opening chapter starts from the LOGO, which is clean and concise. After a brief foreshadowing, it directly switches to the main scene. The time and space flashback in the second half is based on the original book, but it also reflects Caron's skillful driving ability. The editing of the film is smooth, the scene switching and scheduling are natural, and it is concise and capable. While retaining the gloomy and fantastic visual style of the previous film, one can see the intention of shooting this IP with distinctive personal characteristics. Subtracted and cleverly adapted Prisoner of Azkaban pushes the series to a whole new level, and is said to be the best of the 7 films in the series, and we will judge after watching all of them.

Isn't this a bug? Was the deer who saved people the first big boss hidden behind the scenes? Conan's possession of the foot

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban quotes

  • Harry: Professor, can I ask you something?

    Professor Lupin: You want to know why I stopped you facing that boggart, yes? I would have thought that would be obvious - I assumed it would take the shape of Lord Voldemort.

    Harry: I did think of Voldemort - at first. But then I remembered that night on the train... and the dementor...

    Professor Lupin: I'm very impressed. That suggests that what you fear most of all... is fear itself. This is very wise.
