If you see the last movie from the first "Harry Potter" in succession, you will find that starting from "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", the Harry Potter movie style begins It has changed-the brisk and bright picture begins to decrease, and the heavy darkness begins to increase. From the beginning of this movie, death and fate began to converge, and the conflict began to expand. Even the voices of small actors such as Harry and Ron began to become low due to the arrival of the voice changer. Everything seemed to be the same as "The Sorcerer's Stone". The two movies of "The Chamber of Secrets" seem so different. From this one, Harry Potter stepped out of the framework of children's literature and gradually developed into a fantasy novel with a gradually perfect world view.

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" finally started from Sirius as an incision, and began to focus on the grievances between fathers and generations, and gradually began to unravel why Snape always likes to make things difficult for the audience. The confusion of the kind makes people really feel the sense of Harry Potter's series. The unfolding of the story of the father’s generation also allowed Harry Potter’s story to jump out of the trio and defeat supernatural creatures such as giant monsters, three-headed dogs, and pythons. Instead, it started a struggle between people. This is why I think "Azkaban" started Harry Potter out of children's literature. The evil of the villains of children’s literature is often "simple" evil, evil that does not require a reason. For example, the giant monsters in "The Sorcerer's Stone" are monsters that can hurt people. They are undoubtedly bad, even if Quirrell appears. Such a villain professor did not explain the intention of the other party. The only meaning of appearing is to kill Harry Potter and serve "U KNOW WHO". In fact, it is just a humanoid monster in essence. The villains in "Azkaban" were not at first with these simple intentions. For example, Peter Pettigrew had a full character background-James’ old friend, and at the same time Voldemort’s powerful subordinate, was a A pure villain who sells his friends for self-preservation. The corresponding Sirius is a completely opposite type of person. It is these characters full of background stories, both right and wrong, that begin to make this story truly attractive to adults.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban quotes

  • Hermione: [gazing at a crystal ball] Can I give it a try?

    Professor Trelawney: Yes, sure!

    Hermione: The grim. Possibly.

    Professor Trelawney: You know, my dear, the moment I looked into your eyes I knew that you did not have the mind for the noble art of Divination.

    [looking at her palm]

    Professor Trelawney: See? Right here. You may be young in years but the heart that beats beneath your bosom is as shriveled as an old maid's, your soul as dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave.

    [Hermione gets up and leaves, angrily]

    Professor Trelawney: Have I said something?

  • Sirius Black: Sorry about the bite, I reckon that twinges a bit.

    Ron: A bit? A bit? You almost tore my leg off!

    Sirius Black: I *was* going for the rat. Normally, I have a very sweet disposition as a dog. In fact, more than once, James suggested that I make the change permanent. The tail I could live with. But the fleas? They're murder.
