What most people don't mention is, Ron's prediction in the Divination class was correct. Harry did suffer a bit but was happy about it in the end.

[@robertbrookes2000]

In the books practically every divination prediction made comes true. 'One of the class will leave us forever.' -> Hermione drops Divination. Harry pretends he sees a Hippogriff flying away in the crystal ball and not with its head cut off as Trewlawney would expect -> Harry & Hermione save Buckbeak. At Christmas Trewlawney is scared to join 12 people at the table 'for when 13 dine, the rise to rise is the first to die'. But Scabbers/Peter Pettigrew already made 13 and Dumbledore rose to greet Trewlawney -> Out of the 13 Dumbledore dies first.

They never properly explain this in the movies: Remus became a werewolf when he was a kid. Attacked by other werewolf - Fernir Greyback. Dumbledore decided to give him a chance and allowed him to study at Hogwarts. He made Woomping Willow to protect the entrance to The Shriecking Shack where Lupin would hide during his transformations (because of the noise he would make then, people started believing that the shack in hounted). The Marauders' were a group made of Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Petiegrew and James Potter. Their strong friendship began in their first year at Hogwarts. Sirius and James met on the train and had been inseparable ever since and the two met Remus and Peter afterwards. After couple years they realised what Lupin is. They decided that they want to help him during his transformations by becoming animagi and spending them with him. By their fifth year, all had secretly become unregistered Animagi. James Potter's Animagus form was a shining red stag (Prongs), Sirius Black's was a shaggy black dog (Padfoot), and Peter Pettigrew's was a fat grey rat (Wormtail).

[@davidbeach4682]

Together they created the Marauder's Map, partly for the mischief opportunity, but also so that they could sneak out of Hogwarts when Lupin would undergo his transformation and they could get him away from the castle and into hiding.

[@peterlewis2178]

@angelwing Minor Spoiler: It might not be necessary for this movie, but it is sort of important for later. For example, in the Order of the Phoenix movie, Harry says to Snape "He has Padfoot at the place where it's hidden", which ends up being the reason that the Order can come and help them. But if you didn't read the books, that line makes no sense. Also, knowing that the Marauder's Map was made by them would have given a little bit more weight and explained in this movie why Lupin was so convinced that the map wasn't lying about Peter Pettigrew: because both of them were involved in it's making.

[@emwal5084]

[@ekajkroy5456]

Something they don't really tell you in the movies is that Remus absolutely was NOT helping Sirius into the castle. He 100% believed that he was guilty and had betrayed the Potters. On the evening of Buckbeak's execution, professor Lupin was watching the map because he was certain that Harry, Ron, and Hermione would sneak out to visit Hagrid before the execution and he wanted to make sure they were safe. He saw 3 dots labeled for Harry, Ron, and Hermione enter Hagrid's hut, then about 15 minutes later, saw them exit, accompanied by a fourth dot labeled Peter Pettigrew, because Ron now had Scabbers. He couldn't believe his eyes, he thought "the map must have been malfunctioning". But then he saw another dot Labeled Sirius black charge towards the group of four and drag away the dots labeled Ronald Weasley and Peter Pettigrew, so he rushed out to the Shrieking shack. What he saw on the map, and a quick exchange of words with Sirius, confirmed to him that Sirius was innocent after all, and that he had been set up.

The chocolate helps with feeling happier. The dementors are a representation of depression and chocolate makes you feel better. It represented JK Rowling's battle with depression while she was writing the books.

[@michaelklaus]

Yeah they sadly cut Madame Pomfrey from the movie who remarked that they finally had a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who knew his remedies. - I always found that a neat way to establish that chocolate was the remedy of choice from a healer's perspective and also lash out at Lockhart and apparently equally at Quirrel and other DADA teachers before.

[@CallumIsRaving]

The extra tidbit, which is the cherry on top of the Dementor’s symbolism, is Expecto Patronum. You need to focus on your happiest memories to defeat Dementors.. much like with depression itself!

[@d.c.2991]

Some details are not enough explained in the movie and are in the book - the Marauder Map was actually made by Lupin, Sirius Black, James Potter (Harry's father) and Peter Pettigrew. Their nicknames were Moony (Lupin, oc), Wormtail (Pettigrew), Padfoot (Sirius), and Prongs (James) because the group needed to be able to stay with Lupin when he transformed, so they all teched themselves to turn into animals. That's why the patronus of Harry takes the form of a deer, his father could transform in one.

[@cc-wz6xr]

@@BaddMedicine She's absolutely right. Sirius, James and Peter wanted to keep Lupin company during his transformations. It's very much elaborated upon in the book that James and Sirius were as close as two boys can be. Sirius Black comes from one of the most ancient pureblood families that hates muggle borns. But Sirius was different and got sorted into Gryffindor, and his family despised him for it. So the Potter family took Sirius in to live with them, and that's where Sirius lived during the summer breaks away from school. So, Harry and Sirius having this new relationship is EXTREMELY important for Harry, because Sirius wasn't just a friend of his dad. The man is as close to blood to Harry as one can get, without being blood.

[@erickremers3986]

The books explained it a little better. An Animagus is a witch or wizard who underwent a very complicated and long spell to acquire the ability to turn into an animal at will. The animal they end up turning into is not their choice and supposedly reflects their personality or their soul. Sirius Black is an Animagus who can turn into a large, black dog, Peter Pettigrew is an Animagus who can turn into a rat. Professor McGonagall is an Animagus too, as we've seen, she can turn into a tabby cat.

And Harry's dad was a Stag, and is why Harry thought it was his dad that saved him at the end.

They explain in the books, but I'm not sure they explain it during the plotwists reveals in the shack or afterwards. But Harry thought hesaw his dad because Harry is very physically identical to his dad (which is something people love to comment to him), and he also has seen old photos. So he saw a guy like him, using an advanced and powerful charm that he himself could't do, saving his and his godfather's life. So he went with that. The idea that the saviour was himself was out of the question for obvious reasons. The stag animagus knowledge wasn't needed imo.

Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban after seeing Scabbers (Peter Pettigrew) in a Daily Prophet article of the paper Cornelius Fudge gave him in late July 1993, recognising him as his traitorous former friend. By 31 July, Black took advantage of his extreme weight loss to slip through his cell door in his Animagus dog form (which was unregistered, thus the Ministry did not take preparations against) while the Dementors were bringing in his food and swam across the North Sea to find Pettigrew. Black was able to maintain his sanity due to his knowledge of his innocence, a non-happy thought that the Dementors could not take. It was only this that allowed him to maintain his powers to transform, and what made the escape possible.

I’ve seen some people argue that the details about the Marauders and the map are unimportant. They definitely aren’t and should have been included. A change from the book that wasn’t a big deal, but is still interesting is this: Harry gets the new broom, the Firebolt, much sooner in the books. But because it was sooner, he didn’t know it was from Sirius. So it gets confiscated for a bit while they check off dark magic etc on it.

The next movie has a scene people whine about a lot where Dumbledore is agitated and loud with Harry after his name comes out of the Goblet (I know you’ve already posted GoF on Patreon which is the only reason I’d mention a potential spoiler). The book says, “…Dumbledore asks calmly,” and people use this as a reason to crap on D2 which is absolutely ridiculous. In that one question and the way he asks it they convey about half a chapter or more of half a dozen other characters sharing their outrage/worry/concern. It was a brilliant choice by the writer, director, actor, whoever it was that chose it. We instantly understand that chill Dumbledore is unsettled by this and we (and Harry) know it’s a BIG DEAL without being blatantly told. It does nothing to permanently alter how we view Dumbledore throughout the remaining movies unless you’re pissed off that the movie doesn’t exactly match the books. 🙄 Oak is right that Dumbledore is letting Harry stretch his wings but is always there in the background guiding him and giving life lessons. It’s important to remember though, too, that Dumbledore is Headmaster of a busy school not to mention all his other endeavors. He’s not their home room teacher. Principals rarely have this close of a relationship with students.

I enjoyed your conversation after the movie, really insightful. I grew up along with these characters and was about the same age/grade as the actors as this story progressed so this series holds a lot of nostalgia for me.

[@vaishaksuresh8555]

This legit is my favourite Harry Potter movie from the film series. The best quality of this movie was the direction of Alfonso Cuarón. We never got such a creative film making style from any of the other films in this series. Prisoner of Azkaban really stands out from all the others. One of my favorite decisions that Alfonso made was to change the way students wore their uniforms. He made it more casual and realistic for us to relate to it. There were many scenes in which the trio wear casual attires, unlike the first two films, in which all students wore the uniform In the same way in almost every scene, sometimes even at night time scenes. I like that they changed the geographical location of Hagrids hut too. I was so impressed on how Alfonso places so many beautiful insert shots between each scene, like the camera pasing through the glass of the clock tower, the shot where a bright red flower freezes and shrivels as a dementor passes near it, the camera moving through the mirror to the other side in the scene of Lupin teaching the spell "Ridikulus", The inclution of the sound effect of a running rat, when Harry is looking to encounter Peter Pettigrew as shown by the Marauder's map. But my most favorite idea of all, was how Alfonso establishes the passage of time and the changing of seasons, with the shot of the Whomping Willow changing its appearance after each season. It's brilliant how he chose to do that, because the willow turns out to be an integral part of the story as it becomes the the location of Sirius Black's encounter, his revelation and the mind blowing plot twist. The only shot that I'm not much of a fan, is the freeze frame shot of Harry's face at the end. But honestly, I just love this film.

[@Emma88178]

I wish the films showed more of Hermione’s close friendships with her female friends like in the books. I mean they kind of do in the films but it’s sadly not often. Also most of Hermione’s lines and scenes in this film were actually originally Ron’s in the book. Like him standing up to Sirius to not let him get to Harry. And he even yelled at Snape for treating Hermione terribly.

The new director (Alfonso Cuaron) did a great job with this movie, which is often the best reviewed movie in the HP franchise. Unfortunately, Cuaron did not return for the next one so you will see something very different. The next one is still a good movie but it definitely has a different vibe, just an FYI

The reason why Lupin give Choccolate to Harry is because it helps against depression but only for short term though. if Dementor fed on you for too long, even a truckload of chocolate won’t help you :D Science fact : chocolate can affects your neurotransmitter, release dopamine and endorphins. which reducing anxiety and depression in the process.

The nicknames they gave each other after each (minus remus) becoming an animagus to help remus’s transformations as a werewolf because they could accompany him as animals.

[@pieceofgosa]

I love how y'all have zero vested interest in this world and you STILL caught that Harry doing magic in the cold open is a MASSIVE plothole, well played lads. The best explanation I can offer is that lumos (flashlight spell) is such a basic spell that it's not covered by the underage wizardry laws. If a muggle sees a wizard with their wand tip lit then they are 99.9% certain to just assume it's a flashlight.

[@BaddMedicine]

Oh, we are invested! Lol. Just wait... You'll see. 😁 🤙 We appreciate the tidbit you dropped here🤙

[@sweetsymphony3519]

This massive plothole is only in the movie, there was no such scene in the book.

[@dylancole1910]

Also, I just assumed that since it was an accident and purely reactionary it wouldn’t be that big of a deal when it came to the laws. The laws are that you can’t intentionally do magic outside of school if you are underage, and he had an uncontrollable emotional response- millions of kids his age and younger have probably done similar with the rise in extreme emotion so it would make sense that the laws put in place would make that distinction and decide not to charge him for it. And, even if it was an issue, the worst they would probably do is expel him from Hogwarts, I doubt that they would send a kid younger than 17 to Azkaban. Maybe their version of a mental institution but not to prison.

[@alikar4067]

The accidental magic 100% should have gotten him expelled, and probably would have any other year. He got a warning notice and nearly was expelled for Dobby's magic a year earlier, and they couldn't prove Harry had even been the one to do the magic. Fudge knew that Sirius Black was out for Harry, though, and the safest place for him to go was Hogwarts, so he couldn't expel him. If the public found out Fudge was responsible for expelling Harry and Sirius Black found and killed him, he'd have the PR blowback of the century and probably lose his job. The lumos spell... total movie-only plothole, but I'd buy John's explanation.

[@pieceofgosa]

@@dylancole1910 the laws do not make that distinction & the only reason Harry wasn't severely reprimanded was the direct intervention of the Minister for Magic. Harry received an official warning the previous year after Dobby (not even Harry) cast a hover charm at the Dursley's. As for expulsion from Hogwarts, that's not up to the ministry & even if Harry had been arrested & sent to Azkaban, Dumbledore would be under no obligation to expel him.

The world in HP3 feels so much richer and more magical than any other HP film because of his incredible creative vision of it. He also managed to completely mature it with just this one film, it's such a stark contrast to the first two, and provided a perfect stepping stone for all the movies after it.

[@Danisachan]

Oh, they didn't leave out just a little but A LOT. Little interactions that tie everything together in the end, like Hermione always being tired and short-tempered throughout that year, because of attending so many classes, and that her getting the time turner at all was a big exception because she is such a model student. (The whole story about the Marauders, but that was already mentioned...) And it only gets worse with the next movies, because the books got more and more complex and big. They are basically mystery thrillers, not just young adult books. The next book is my absolute favourite (Rowling was at her absolute peak there) but sadly the movie doesn't do it justice for me, because I just know what all is missing and how they changed characters to make them more cinematically appealing. The fate of one, who has read the books first. :) But I am sure you will enjoy the whole series. I can only recommend reading the books too, they are just awesome! :D A true phenomenon of our time.

BOOK SPOILERS! The reason Lupin was able to know about the map was because he helped make it. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are the makers of the Marauders Map. Sirius Black, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew learned to be animagi to accompany Lupin while Lupin is a werewolf to make the transformation less worse. Dumbledore had planted the whomping willow and put in a secret entrance to the shrieking shack so that when Lupin was studying at Hogwarts, he could have used the shack during full moons. Moony: Lupin Wormtail: Pettigrew Padfoot: Sirius Prongs: James Potter (because his animagus was a stag)

I have a hard time getting over how poorly, or even never, they explained the Marauders and the map in the movie. I feel it is such a glaring plot hole. So movie Remus and Sirius just happen to know about the map and how it works? The entire background, and thus motivation, for the characters is left out. -They ARE two of marauders, hunting the third for the murder of the fourth, and they made the map!

They're the only ones that capture the whimsical nature of the harry potter books and every kid's dream of being wisked off to some magical school for witches and wizards. It's also the only movies with strong themes and motifs. Prisoner of Azkaban, while probably having more appeal for most adults, is just one movie in a franchise I no longer love as much as a used to.

[@vickyzou.2]

The Shrieking Shack was an abandoned house in Hogsmeade. For many years, villagers thought it was haunted because they often heard screams coming from inside, and Albus Dumbledore encouraged the rumour, as he was the one who commissioned it, due to Remus Lupin's Lycanthropy. The secret passageway could be seen on the Marauder's Map, which was at the possession of Remus, Sirius, Pettigrew and James-as it's been mentioned in other comments. The Shrieking Shack was only used so that Remus Lupin would have a place for his monthly transformations into a werewolf in secret and in safety. The yells and shouts heard by the villagers were really Lupin biting and scratching himself due to lack of humans to infect. The Whomping Willow was planted the same year that Remus Lupin arrived at Hogwarts as a student. The tree can be frozen by pushing a knot on its base. During the Marauders time at Hogwarts, a transformed Peter Pettigrew, whose Animagus form was a rat, would slip in and push the knot so they could go in. This was one of the best info I had read in the books, and I wish this story would be more clear in the movie too. Prizoner of Azkaban is my second fav film of the series, after the Goblet of Fire.

I gotta say I love how in the first 2 movies it’s a classic „happy ending“- story like in the end our protagonists win and everything ends up being good all conflict is resolved. Even in Prisoner of Azkaban there’s still hope, in the end we kinda get some sort of happy ending but you also realize that not always every aspect of the story can end well for the protagonists. Sometimes the world‘s just unfair- in this case with Lupin getting fired and having to leave the school in the end, Peter Pettigrew getting away and also Sirius not getting redemption from officials which resolves in Harry and him not being able to be together and Sirius having to live in hiding basically or else he’ll be executed.
