Harry Potter 3

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Compared to the books, I find the Harry Potter movies drawn-out and boring, but I rewatched this one during the pandemic and found that I enjoyed all three thirteen-year-olds as well as Hagrid, Sirius, Snape, Lupin, and—most of all—the fact that the filmmakers didn’t blithely destroy the single static timeline out of a misplaced sense that time travelers are meant to change the timeline willy-nilly. —Michael Main
Hang on! That’s not possible. Ancient Runes is at the same time as Divination. You’d have to be in two classes at once.
Daniel Radcliffe (as Harry Potter), Emma Watson (as Hermione Granger), and Rupurt Grint (as Ron Weasley) are watching something that spooks Harry, fascinates Hermione, and terrifies Ron.
