Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Saturday, September 296:00 pmFilm is $5.00Rated PG-13Box Office opens 30 minutes prior to screeningHave you seen this wizard? Approach with extreme caution! Do not attempt to use magic against this man!Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) is a fantasy-adventure film directed by Alfonso Cuarón and based on the novel by J. K. Rowling. The film is the third installment in the popular Harry Potter series. The role of Albus Dumbledore was handed to Michael Gambon, taking over from the late Richard Harris, who died of Hodgkin’s disease. Though “immensely popular” is an understatement when it comes to Harry Potter, Azkaban is somewhat of a departure from its predecessors, and particularly beloved among fans for its surprise ending. Prisoner of Azkaban also marks the introduction of Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), who has escaped from the title prison after 12 years of incarceration. Believed to have been the right-hand-man of the dark wizard Voldemort, whom Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) mysteriously rendered powerless during his infancy, some of those closest to Harry suspect Black has returned to exact revenge on the boy who defeated his master. Upon his return to school, however, Harry is relatively unconcerned with Black. Run by Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), who is widely regarded as the most powerful wizard of the age, Hogwarts is renowned for its safety. Harry’s nonchalance eventually turns to blind rage after accidentally learning the first of Black’s many secrets during a field trip to a neighboring village.Of course, a loose serial killer is only one of the problems plaguing the bespectacled wizard’s third year back at school; the soul-sucking guards of Azkaban prison have been employed at Hogwarts to protect the students, but their mere presence sends Harry into crippling fainting spells. With the help of his friends Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson), and Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Remus Lupin (David Thewlis), Harry struggles to thwart the Dementors, find Sirius Black, and uncover the mysteries of the night that left him orphaned. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards; Original Music Score and Visual Effects at the 77th Academy Awards held in 2005.
