Binge Movie Aftertaste – Harry Potter Retrospective w/ Matthew Goudreau and Adam Bunch: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
It may seem hard to believe, but in the mid 90s, wizardry was far from a common theme in movies and/or literature. But once British author JK (Joanne) Rowling introduced her first novel about a young wizard named Harry Potter, and the soon to be series was followed by sequels, you couldn’t escape the oncoming copycats and anticipated announcements of release dates. Not to mention the phenomena. The series launched the careers of Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, as well as made a ton of money at the box office. Yet, I was (mostly) not among those who were taken into the world of Hogwarts. So how will I and my co-hosts react to the eight Potter and two Fantastic Beasts films?
By the time 2004 came around, Chris Columbus had decided that he had had enough of not seeing his kids, and turned down directing the third Harry Potter film in order to spend time with his family. With the directing seat vacant, someone needed to fill the void. After a conversation with his friend Guillermo Del Toro, future Oscar winner Alfonso Cuaron took back his initial rejection of the gig and entered the world of Hogwarts with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. How did he do?
Join myself, Matt, and Adam as we continue our journey through the world of wizardry with this examination of the third Harry Potter movie, and be sure to keep checking back as we lead to a review of the new Fantastic Beasts film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
