Default Entertainment Weekly review the PoA DVD

HPANA has three scans from the Entertainment Weekly review of the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD which is out now in the UK, Tuesday in the US.

Scans of a double page advert can be seen here as well as the scan of the review itself.

Quote:
The third Potter film cuts out way too much of J.K.Rowling's 435-page opus.
Quote:
Fans of cinematic craft and good old entertainment, on the other hand, will recognise Azkaban for what it is: better.
Quote:
Director Alfonso Cuaron brings actual artistic inspiration to the proceedings, replacing Chris Columbus' dutiful Xeroxes with invention and mischief.
Quote:
...the computer generated wolf that resembles a Chihuahua on steroids.
Quote:
He tried creating the Dementors with maverick puppeteer Basil Twist before giving up and going CGI.
Quote:
It lacks a director's commentary (a shame given what a chatty delight Cuaron can be) and dumps a hodgepodge of extras on the second platter.
Quote:
Fatuous cast interviews with British "personality" Johnny Vaughan are for the bedroom-poster crowd only, and the tours, games, deleted scenes and quizzes are for rainy days only.

The real magic, in case you haven't noticed, is on disc 1.
