A different kind of Harry Potter movie, a better kind... It's where this fantasy series has wanted to go all along.-San Francisco Chronicle
Azkaban contains both the longest denouement and the most rousing finish of any of the books, and Cuaron wisely whips through the 'ah-hahs' so that the clever climax, complete with the series' best SFX, can enjoy its moment in the moonlight.Empire
