In the December 24th issue of
Entertainment Weekly author Stephen King, in his Pop of King column, lists his
top ten films of the year.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was ranked at number 5 and King had the following things to say about it:
Quote:
5 - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban makes the first two Potter pix look like Joe Camp Benji movies. Some of this has to do with how gracefully the young protagonists are growing up, more with Alfonso Cuarón's dreamily gothic visuals.
The films that made it into his top 4 were;
Fahrenheit 9/11,
The Manchurian Candidate,
Dawn of the Dead and
Maria Full of Grace.
