imagine how much better this franchise would have been if alfonso cuarón had directed all of it
It is truly astonishing to discover what all can happen when you put a promising story that's full of imagination, wonder & endless possibilities into the hands of a master storyteller and watch him/her elevate it to a whole new level. Breaking from the monotony of the previous two chapters, Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban is the first time we get a genuine taste of how magical, enchanting & mystifying the world of Harry Potter really is and the film as a whole is, in my opinion, the best instalment of the Harry Potter saga.

Harry standing by the water conjuring up the Patronus is truly one of the best moments of the series.
