I'm no professional film critic but I just got back from the theatre and I still don't know exactly how I feel about the film. Visually, I loved the new style and the characters do seem more real but I can't help but feel that some of the important details were left out. Azkaban is my favorite book of the series because it delves into the backstory but it seemed this was way too glossed over. I went with a friend who had seen the other movies but not read the books and he was completely confused. I enjoyed the film because having read the books I automatically plugged the missing information in where needed. Maybe as a result even more people will be inspired to read the books so as to put the pieces together. :sorcerer:
