#HARRY POTTER PRISONER OF AZKABAN FULL MOVIE REDDIT SERIES#
Whether it’s your favorite film in the series or your least favorite, you have to admit it was a completely new take on the visual landscape of the movies, and had a style of its own, infusing some real terror.Īfter his breakout success in 2001’s Y Tu Mama Tambien, Cuarón was getting tons of offers, and had del Toro not shamed him for being a Potter-hater, he might not have directed what is in this writer’s humble opinion the best of the eight Potter movies. “When he talks to you like that,” Cuarón said, “well, you have to go to the bookshop.” Cuarón did, of course, go on to direct Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, taking the reins of the Wizarding World from Chris Columbus.

You are going right now to the f***in’ bookshop and get the books and you’re going to read them and you call me right away.”Ĭuarón did indeed go get the first four books-all that had been released at the time-and called del Toro back to say how much he enjoyed them. He says, ‘F***in’ skinny, have you read the books?’ I said, ‘No, I haven’t read the books.’ He says, ‘F***in’ skinny, you’re such a f***in’ arrogant bastard. “I hadn’t read the books or seen the films,” Cuarón said in the interview. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair (via The Playlist) about his acclaimed new Netflix movie Roma at the Telluride Film Festival, the Oscar-winning director of Gravity said that early in his career, he got chided for being “arrogant” by del Toro when Cuarón mentioned he was going in for the third Harry Potter movie with a note of derision in his voice. And that’s exactly what happened to del Toro’s friend and colleague Alfonso Cuarón, who made the mistake of deriding the Harry Potter books before even reading them.

Then it’s perfectly acceptable to get peer pressured. Unless, of course, the peer who’s pressuring you is Guillermo del Toro, and the thing he’s trying to pressure you into doing is enjoying a terrific book series before adapting it into a movie. It’s hard not to sometimes, especially if you’re trying to be “cool,” but we implore you to stand your ground, follow your heart, and don’t do things you don’t want to do. It's timeless, smart, visually brilliant and a great movie to watch with children to this day.In general, peer pressure is not something to which you should succumb. It's far more of a kids movie than what would come later for Harry Potter, but that's entirely appropriate given the source material. The Philosopher's Stone is one of his best. The man directed Home Alone and Mrs Doubtfire for god's sake, he knew what he was doing! With fantastic movies down the line, Prisoner of Azkaban, being the most obvious example, it's easy to forget Harry Potter's sequels were following a visual and stylistic template designed, in part, by the steady hand of Chris Columbus. Outside of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, is there a more iconic and memorable Williams theme? I'd argue no. Perhaps most importantly, we wouldn't have had the sublime John Williams score. We wouldn't have the perfectly pitched Harry Potter aesthetic. We wouldn't have had the tremendous, perfect casting of Daniel Radcliffe, Emily Watson and Rupert Grint without this movie.

Katherine Waterston and Ezra Miller provide intriguingly off-kilter support, and Colin Farrell is such a smolderingly seductive baddie it's a real shame Depp took over. It's also really well-cast: Eddie Redmayne is great as Newt Scamander, a big screen hero whose character is defined by gentleness, curiosity and compassion instead of violence and aggression. It gives fans and casual viewers a chance to enjoy the fantasy without being stuck in twee boarding school world, and the expanded look at Rowling's wizarding world comes with delightfully colorful creatures and a dandy retro fantasy vibe. And thanks to off-screen controversy (Rowling's outspoken views on Twitter, Johnny Depp's marital difficulties) the Fantastic Beasts series has sputtered like a wonky wand.īut we will say this: the first film is decent. When Warner Bros decided to turn Rowling's slim pamphlet into a sprawling multi-movie franchise, it could be seen as a return to the magic or cynical moneymaking sorcery.
