Fun with Franchises: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Part V — “Look at the Size of That Pumpkin Dick”

This week, we have another entry in our Fun with Franchises series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

In case you don’t know how this works — after doing a couple of trial runs without realizing it (Disney movies, Bond movies), I realized that I really enjoyed going through movies frame by frame, commenting on them and cracking jokes like I would if I was sitting around watching them with friends. So I decided to make it a feature on the site and enlisted my friend Colin to help (since it’s better when you have another person to play off). None of this is meant to be any real in-depth analysis. We’re just doing it for comedy and parody purposes. We’re basically just doing what we would normally when talking about this stuff, which I’m sure are versions of the same conversations most people have.

And of course, if you’re gonna do something called Fun with Franchises… you kinda have to franchise it. So we scribbled down a handful of franchises we knew we’d have the most fun going over, and that’s what you’re about to see. This is all done out of love and purely for the benefit of entertainment.

And that’s Fun with Franchises. Right now, we’re doing the Harry Potter franchise, and today is the fifth and final part of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Title Card

We begin Part V with Harry in the hospital. Where all of these movies seem to end.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1187

He looks like Robert Pattinson in the final stages of AIDS.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1188

Do you think Madame Pomfrey just keeps a bed set aside for him at this point?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1189

Harry thinks he saw his father across the lake. Hermione ain’t got time for that. They captured Sirius.

“Any minute the Dementors are going to perform the kiss.”

“It’s what Dementors do to those they want to destroy. They clamp their jaws over the victim’s mouth and… suck out his soul.”

That explains those fucked up teeth.

“You mean, they’re going to kill Sirius?”

“No. It’s worse. Much worse. You go on living. But you have no memory. No sense of self. You’re just a shall. An empty shell…”

So a lobotomy, is basically what this is.

Also, it took FOUR months to execute a fucking hippogriff, but this dude — “Let’s not waste time, two hours is enough.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1190

I open doors like a badass, motherfucker.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1191

“Headmaster! You’ve got to stop them! They’ve got the wrong man!”

I love how Ron is just there during all of this. He does NOTHING in this movie.

“It’s true, sir. Sirius is innocent.”

“It’s Scabbers who did it!”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1192

“Motherfucker, what?”

“He’s my rat, sir. Only he’s not really Well, he was a rat, he was my brother Percy’s…”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1194

“The point is… we know the truth. Please believe us.”

I like how they just go back to completely ignoring Ron the minute he outlasts his usefulness (which is approximately four seconds after he started talking).

“I do, Miss Granger. But I’m sorry to say the word of three thirteen-year-old wizards will convince few others.”

“A child’s voice, however honest and true, is meaningless to those who have forgotten how to listen.”

What? Why are you waxing poetic all of a sudden?

I also love how Dumbledore knew Sirius was innocent yet let him spend 12 years locked up in Azkaban anyway. Real Dumble-dick move.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1195

Speaking of Dumble-dick moves.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1196

“Oh, if you weren’t the headmaster, I’d fuck your day up REAL good.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1197

Did he just turn into Lady Macbeth? What the fuck is going on?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1198

“Mysterious thing, time…”

A clock struck and all of a sudden he’s House now?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1199

It’s weird how this is also exactly what happens when he’s about to turn on you and become a bad guy.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1200

“Sirius Black is in the top most cell of the Dark Tower.”

They have a Dark Tower?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1201

“You know the laws, Miss Granger. You must not be seen.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1202

“And you would do well, I feel, to return before this last chime. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1203

I like that look. “What the fuck is he talking about?”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1204

“If you succeed tonight, more than one innocent life may be spared.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1205

“Three turns should do it, I think.”

I mean, yeah, if you’ve got the stamina.

Colin:

This always confused me. He may know when the Buckbeak business was supposed to go down, but what if there was stuff that needed to be taken care of before even that, and he didn’t know? What if Harry and Hermione want to go back even farther and use a sports almanac to place bets on Quidditch matches?

Honestly I’m just glad he didn’t decide to try to go back and stop his parents from being murdered.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1206

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1207

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1208

Colin:

I was sorry about Richard Harris, but I’m a big fan of Michael Gambon. Big fan.

Let’s just stop to talk about this for a second – Dumbledore (all right, McGonagall, but let’s be serious now) has given Hermione a borderline-illegal time turner. He’s already hinted at the fucked up shit that happens when you mess with time. Naturally he’s been letting her do this all year. (That I can allow, given Hermione’s super competence even next to adults in this world.) And now, when shit’s really about to hit the fan, he has them go do all of this for him. The most powerful wizard in the world and he sends thirteen-year-olds to go do shit. Which is funny, since those two were seen by at least three professors and three students over the course of the evening. Dumbledore was only seen by about four people and is constantly hard to locate and appearing and disappearing from places. So the choice of having them go do this and not himself is really quite humorous.

Colin:

Good call. Why do they have to do EVERYTHING? Is this just so they don’t have dirt on him? Like that would even matter. It’s pretty messed up that he’s having them do this. They only risk being expelled, arrested, killed, or having their souls sucked out. Seems like stuff a couple of third-year students would be perfect for.

It’s hard out here for a Gryff.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1209

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1210

“Oh, and when in doubt, I find retracing my steps to be a wise place to begin.”

Well it is how Pee-Wee found his bike…

That’s the only argument for Dumbledore not doing this, by the way. That they know where they were during all of this. But even so… not buying it. He could’ve done everything they’re about to do, since it’s literally just saving Buckbeak and then flying up to the tower to get Sirius out.

Also weird that they knew to go with that exact version of the plan with no more information than where Sirius is, retracing steps and the hint about Buckbeak.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1211

“Here’s Dumbie!” (Which, actually sounds like a cross between Dumbo and Gumby. Something I don’t want to think about any further less my brain explode from too much awesome at once.)

Colin:

What if Pokey was a hippogriff?

Subtitle.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1212

“Sorry, Ron, non-cripples only.”

Which is essentially what she says. “Seeing as how you can’t walk…”  What happened? Is the painkiller spell in the Non-Standard Book of Spells?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1213

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1214

“What the fuck is this?”

Funny, you’d think the words “time turner” would have given it away.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1215

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1216

Colin:

She slapped the shit out of his hand! Hermione has very quickly gone from my least favorite of the three to the best by far.

This is why we thank Alfonso Cuaron. he’s the one who brought her badassery front and center.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1217

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1218

Lot of people not explaining things at the right time in this movie. A lot of unnecessary complication here.

Colin:

That’s on a pretty well-oiled ball bearing, and she seems to be wearing it all the time. Couldn’t it just spin under her sweatshirt and send her back in time randomly? Maybe it has an invisible clasp made of magic so that JK Rowling doesn’t need to explain her bullshit to us and has free license to make shit up.

TV series idea: wearing the time turner during sex and ending up back in the 14th century.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1219

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1220

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1221

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1222

Lotta people were in the hospital today.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1223

Colin:

Going backwards through 8:15pm. If it weren’t so blurry, you’d see Penelope Clearwater getting an abortion on the right there. Snape was on hand to brew some Morning After Potion.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1224

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1225

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1226

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1227

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1228

Colin:

Good thing three hours ago was the only moment over that whole period of time when there weren’t people standing there.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1229

“Where were we at 7:30?”

I love that, by the way. No fucking around. Where were we? Wouldn’t it be funny if a Terminator showed up? “I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1230

What I love is that they captured Sirius and immediately didn’t kill him. The Dementors were in the process of killing him until Harry patronus’d them away. Then he passed out, at which point the Dementors could have just come right back and killed them both. But apparently they were found by someone else, Sirius was taken to the castle to the Dark Tower, and will be killed by the Dementors in a little while instead. I guess capital punishment does exist in the wizarding world.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1231

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1232

Hugo Potter. You weren’t kidding.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1233

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1234

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1235

And moving through glass again.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1236

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1237

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1238

Jesus, they’re running like McConaughey into the jungle at the end of Tropic Thunder.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1239

“Will you tell me what the hell we’re doing?”

I almost yelled at him for not just going with the flow, but arguably this could be him going with the flow and being like, “Will you just tell me what we’re doing so I can be of more use right now?” So I’ll allow it.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1241

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1240

“That’s us.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1242

“This is a Time-Turner, Harry. McGonagall gave it to me first term. This is how I’ve been getting to my lessons all year.”

Apparently badly, since she just sort of appears out of nowhere, late. Wouldn’t you show up just as everyone’s sitting down?

Colin:

So she’s using the time turner to take extra classes, meaning she’s up for however many hours extra every day?

But seriously, though. That’s crazy level commitment right there. Who would do that? And this is coming from someone who not once in his academic career pulled a work-related all-nighter. Why the fuck would you stay awake extra hours when you can get sleep? That’s fucking ridiculous.

Colin:

I guess you could use it to sleep more too. That’d be nice. But you’d age faster than everyone else. Not as nice.

Hermione must be mainlining some Expressos Maximus into her arm just to stay awake. Which – Harry Potter TV series idea: Wizard drug dealers. Do they have special wands? Do they shoot the drugs by pressing their wands to your arm and shooting the drugs in that way? Wizarding drugs must be awesome. I’d go to a Quidditch match on acid. Go to a wizard’s ball on E. That would be fun as shit.

Do you think wizard ecstasy is called “Molly Weasley”?

Colin:

Also, ever notice how Harry’s the only one who gets to have a birthday? They mention his birthday in practically every book. Hermione and Ron’s birthdays are while they’re at school (September and March, respectively), but nobody gives a shit about them.

I love that you dropped their birthday months in there as an aside. The “respectively” is what made it. Like, “Respectively, I am a baller and I do enjoy running my shit.”

I also like how Harry’s like, “So we just went back in time?” You do magic, motherfucker. This should not be that much of a surprise. What the fuck do you think you just saw happen back there? It’s also light out now. What did you think was going on before this exact moment?

Speaking of this exact moment…

“Dumbledore wanted us to return to this moment. Clearly something happened he wants us to change.”

So you don’t actually know what you’re supposed to be doing, just automatically did three turns because the old dude staring off into the distance, talking about time said so?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1243

What’s with that pentagram over there?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1244

Oh man, she really did fuck him up something good.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1245

“Good punch.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1246

“Thanks.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1247

Yeah, but I’m sure the movies are setting her up with Ron.

Colin:

That bitch’s hair be making a heart shape.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1248

I like how Draco talks shit on the way out.

“Not a word of this to anyone, understood! I’ll get that jumped-up Mudblood one of these days. Mark my words…”

Pure sniveling villain shit. I love it.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1249

I love how no one else randomly walks by. Colin Creevey… “Hey guys, what’s going on?”

Colin:

That basilisk put him in his place. He doesn’t try to get in anyone’s way until the final film, when…aw…he gets put in his place.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1250

“Look. Buckbeak’s still alive.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1251

“Of course! Remember what Dumbledore said. If we succeed, more than one innocent life could be spared.”

“Buckbeak? But how will saving Buckbeak help Sirius?”

“We’ll see.”

What do you mean ‘we’ll see?’ Shouldn’t you have an idea already? My god. This is what happens when the plot dictates that you be stupid.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1252

Thank god those overly-sized pumpkins are there.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1253

Hermione’s really smart about this. She realizes they can’t steal Buckbeak until Fudge sees him or else he’ll think Hagrid did it.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1254

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1255

“That’s Pettigrew.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1256

“Harry, you can’t!”

Seriously. For once, control your goddamn anger.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1257

“You’re in Hagrid’s hut now. If you just go bursting in, you’ll think you’ve gone mad. Awful things happen to wizards who meddle with time, Harry.”

They marry Weasleys, I guess.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1258

“Why aren’t we leaving?”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1259

“Oh, right.”

Colin:

Look at the size of that pumpkin dick.

Wizard dildos — what are they made from?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1260

“Omanyte, I choose you!”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1261

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1262

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1263

I can buy that. After all, she did pick Harry up with one arm from a moving tree branch.

Also, did we ever ask why Hagrid randomly has a jar full of sand in his hut?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1264

GRENADE!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1265

Remember when Dudley got shot in the head with a button earlier in the movie? That was pretty nuts.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1266

“Oww! That hurt.”

Rafiki:

Who cares? It is in the past!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1267

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1268

Not gonna lie, this was always my favorite part of all the movies.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1269

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1270

Ghost ghost ghost ghost ghost.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1271

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1272

Colin:

“God damn, I look GOOD.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1273

“Good as hell.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1274

“I thought I just saw – never mind.”

This tells me she’d be like the Robert De Niro of the Deer Hunter crew. She can handle fucked up shit like Russian Roulette and seeing herself standing in front of herself and wouldn’t snap.

Harry Potter TV series idea: Wizard Russian Roulette

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1275

Why you creeping, exactly? So you don’t make noise or so the crows don’t come after you?

Also, this technically counts as a bow too.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1276

Colin:

You don’t want to mess with crows. It’s been proven that they remember human faces, and they will fuck you up.

There was that great story from a while ago about a town where some crows were hanging around so one guy decided to start feeding them. And then he noticed that whenever the neighbors would come near his house, the crows would start attacking them because they thought they were going after this guy and he was their friend. So they consulted some experts who were like, “Well maybe you should all just start feeding them.” So they did and apparently within a month this town just had a whole murder of crows as their friends and they would just be fiercely protective of them against outsiders.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1277

Look at this badass. About to get his head cutoff and still bowing at people.

Weird that he doesn’t just lift the fucking thing off the latch and fly away on his own, though.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1278

What I want to know is — does Buckbeak realize he just saw Harry run up the hill and is now seeing him right next to him? Or can he just not be bothered?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1279

Yeah, that’s smart… taunt the crow.

Also, this reminds me of Kill Bill. The crow is Pai Mei.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1280

“The Committee’s appointed executioner shall dispatch the condemned by means of beheading… ‘As witnessed below.’ You sign here, Hagrid.”

You’re making him SIGN as a witness on an execution? Motherfucker you sign.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1281

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1282

This I don’t get. Why wouldn’t he go with them? I guess he doesn’t know he’s about to die.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1283

There you go. Tempt the motherfucker with food.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1284

“What? Food?” And instantly Buckbeak becomes one of the most relatable characters in the film.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1285

Colin:

We should probably take a moment to address how bizarre it is that the Minister of Magic is attending an animal execution while a dangerous fugitive is at large.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1286

“It’s the po-po!”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1287

What a great image this is, context or no context.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1288

I love how Dumbledore stalls for time here. Motherfucker knows everything.

Colin:

Dumbledore’s running interference, now GO!

The weird thing here is — does Dumbledore just do shit all the time just in case a time turner is in effect? Because he’s stalling as if he knows all of this is gonna go down and that time is a flat circle.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1289

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1290

Aw, quel dommage.

Seems you sharpened your giant beheading tool for nothing.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1291

Love this shot. Look at Buckbeak.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1292

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1293

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1294

Colin:

GET yo hands off this ferret! Hermione’s a fucking BOSS! She hasn’t even done the bowing thing, and she just fucking backhanded it!

She’s been to a couple of frat parties.

Habeas Corpus, indeed.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1295

“Come now, Dumbledore. Someone’s obviously released him.”

“I’m quite sure the Minister isn’t suggesting that you had anything to do with it, Hagrid. How could you? You’ve been with us all along.”

So are there just two timelines now or did we just overwrite the one where Buckbeak got beheaded?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1296

“We must search the grounds.”

“Search the skies if you must.”

“Meanwhile, Imma go get shitty with my man Hagrid over here.”

I like that he turns to the executioner like, “Seems your services are no longer required.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1297

How’s that crow taste, motherfucker?

Colin:

It’s great how Dumbledore can be shitty about the whole thing, barely acting like he doesn’t know exactly what happened, and nobody’s gonna say shit to him cause he’s Dumbledore.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1298

Wide shots are always great right after someone is made to look like an absolute fool.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1299

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1300

It’s great how obvious stand-ins are when you pause at the right moment.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1301

So did it just work out like that, him chopping the pumpkin? Because now essentially that justifies what they saw earlier, which they assumed was Buckbeak getting stabbed. Seems to tie this whole thing up into too nice a bow.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1302

“Now what?”

“We save Sirius.”

One thing they never considered during all this – what if Buckbeak gets the Itis from eating all those ferrets and doesn’t want to go rescue Sirius?

“And we do that… how?”

“No idea.”

I kinda want to be mad, but I also like that they’re just figuring this out on the fly.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1303

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1304

“Look, it’s Lupin.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1305

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1306

“Wait until Fred and George hear about this one.”

He means the secret passage. They didn’t really establish that enough for that line to land as well as it should have.

Colin:

So…a simple spell that completely disarms the Whomping Willow? That would have been handy a little while ago before Hermione got tentacle raped. Too bad she didn’t know it. But it’s the same spell she used on some Cornish pixies in Chamber of Secrets. And yet this time she got her pixie cornished by that tree. Way to go, Rowling, you tentacle raped Hermione for nothing. Well, I’m sure it helped with the Japanese box office numbers, so it wasn’t for NOTHING, but….

And also — Snape is just right behind him? Lupin went into that tree not five seconds ago. Snape didn’t show up for like four minutes after Lupin entered the Shrieking Shack.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1307

Colin:

“And now we wait.”

“…Quickie?”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1308

Colin:

*sigh*

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1309

Colin:

“… Okay.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1310

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1311

I have no regrets.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1312

Yeah, Harry. Go whomp that willow! (Maybe that’s why Hermione howls later.)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1313

Nice shot.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1314

Oh, wait… wrong franchise.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1315

Lot of scenes of shit flying in this one.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1316

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1317

Colin:

Buckbeak. Yes. CHOMP.

Could’ve used him in Rock Tunnel.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1318

Cockblocked by the bats.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1319

“At least someone’s enjoying themselves…” (Note: She actually says this.)

How is Hermione NOT the best character of the three?

Colin:

She definitely is. Harry’s a whiny bitch who has to deal with his tortured past and [mo]Ron has the IQ of a garden gnome (remember those?) and isn’t very useful. Hermione’s got humor, brains, authority, and eventually looks. Clearly the best. I feel like we all know this, but for posterity’s sake — Hermione ends up with Ron as a consolation prize. It would be too much for her to end up with Harry, cause then the whole thing is about Harry and Ron’s the odd man out at the end. This is also why Rowling works Ginny in later, which I’ll complain about at that time.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1320

“Before. Down by the lake. When I was with Sirius… I did see someone. That someone made the Dementors go away.”

“With a Patronus. I heard Snape telling Dumbledore when we were taken to the hospital. According to him, only a really powerful wizard could have conjured it.”

“It was my Dad.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1324

That’s the proper look. That’s the look when George realizes he has to send Lennie to the rabbits.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1321

“But Harry, your dad’s…”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1322

“Dead, I know.”

Sometimes it doesn’t seem like you do.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1323

“Oh, well fuck ME all to hell, then.”

Harry:

I’m trying to.

“I’m just telling you what I saw.”

Colin:

So, not to go all Cousin Vinny on you here, but you’re telling us…what you saw? The kid without his glasses on who was on the verge of passing out?

Who just had a small part of his soul sucked out seconds before?

Colin:

You’re positive of that thing you saw in the dark, about 100 feet across a lake? I’m sure your convictions are strong. I’m gonna go with ‘you’re full of shit’ though.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1325

Her last words before she stands up are, “Here we come.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1326

“You see Sirius talking to me? He’s asking me to come live with him.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1327

This is actually a nice moment. And sort of explains how he gets the patronus so strong in a minute.

“When we free him, I’ll never have to go back to the Dursley’s.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1328

“I’m going to tell him I’d like to live someplace in the country.”

A man could live there… and a woman.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1327

“Some place you can see the sky…”

Wow, that previous joke was scarily more accurate than I thought it was gonna be.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1328

“I think he’d like that, after all those years in Azkaban.”

Pretty sure he’d like anything after all those years in Azkaban.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1329

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1330

I know it’s the moon, but doesn’t it look like we went into special lighting just so he could do his monologue?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1331

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1332

Werewolves of London.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1333

“Aah-ooooh!”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1334

Somebody didn’t think about the after-effects of this decision.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1335

And she says it, too! “Yeah, didn’t think about that.” She’s awesome.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1336

I love how in movies when they cut to people running into the forest, they always manage to be in the forest.

They cover enough ground to where you can’t see the entrance in the span of one cut. Yeah… I’m sure they got that far in that short an amount of time.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1337

This is some horror movie shit. White girl running frantically in the forest? Oh yeah. She’s definitely about to get stabbed.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1338

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1339

Colin:

Good plan. Hide behind that tree. I hear werewolves don’t hear or smell too good.

I can relate :(

Colin:

If you guys are new to the series, Mike’s a Puerto Rican with no sense of smell. 

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1341

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1342

Looks like they’re sneaking off to have sex.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1343

Uh oh.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1344

How many house points do you think they’re gonna lose for this?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1345

Colin:

You cower together? THAT’S your course of action? No wands out? I’d be blasting like a motherfucker. Got this gat at Ollivander’s.

I just pictured Ollivander stroking a wand. “Seven-six-two millimeter… full maple dragon string!”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1346

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1347

OH SHIT IT’S BUCKBEAK.

Looking like he just flashed the werewolf.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1348

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1349

He slaps the SHIT out of Lupin’s head, too. It’s pretty great.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1350

“That’s right, son! This my house!”

Colin:

Seriously, though. We’ve already seen them shoot fire from their wands and shit like that. There are about fifty things they should be trying before they give up and hug each other. Good thing Buckbeak’s around to save your dumb ass.

I also claim hippogriffs as American cause they’re kinda like eagles and we’ve got horses too, so…that’s the second time America’s saved Harry Potter from something about to fuck him up in the forest. We don’t take credit for Firenze. Centaurs are not American.

It kinda looks like they’re making out back there. Kinda like… actually, let’s wait on that. We’ll get there. And there will be screenshots.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1351

It’s funny that the thing that looks most CGI on that hippogriff is its chain.

Wait… is that bling?

Colin:

WOW. It’s shocking just how appalling that CGI looks as a screenshot. The rest aren’t that bad, but look at this. Looks like they drew it in MS Paint from Windows 95, printed it, then took a photo of the printout on an original Motorola RAZR and just uploaded that.

KidPix, baby.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1352

“You bitches okay?”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1353

“Thanks, man. I’m definitely gonna get some now.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1354

Oh, but wait, there’s more.

Right, though?

Colin:

The scariest thing about that was picturing Sarah Jessica Parker as a Dementor and then going, “… fair enough.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1355

“I ain’t never gonna get the dick, am I?”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1356

Why the fuck are you holding hands? What is this, The Defiant Ones?

Colin:

He doesn’t even say thanks. For the savior of the wizarding world, Harry’s got some shitty manners.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1357

What if he just stood there right now and did nothing?

Also why does he look like he’s got that delayed bloodstain that happens after the bad guy gets shot and they want to maintain suspense for a few more seconds?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1358

“Don’t worry, my dad will come.”

Oh, so he is just gonna stand there and do nothing.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1359

Colin:

“Any minute now.” He’s so stupid! “I just happen to be standing in the same spot my “dad” was, and he’s not showing up! I wonder what the problem is? Idiot.

This is religion in a nutshell, this scene.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1360

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1361

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1362

“Harry, listen to me – no one’s coming.”

“Don’t worry, he will!”

Or maybe it’s the Great Pumpkin. Either way, you keep this shit up, no one IS gonna come tonight, Harry.

My favorite, though, is that Harry says, “He will come!” and we immediately cut to this:

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1363

That’s the equivalent of being like, “He’s gonna be fine,” and then cutting to six dudes beating the living fuck out of him.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1364

And just like that, Harry’s faith is shattered.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1365

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1366

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1367

“OPTIMUS!”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1368

Bringing me back to my original point – how the fuck do you not hear someone shout that from across the lake?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1369

Patronum rhymes with scrotum.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1370

Colin:

That spell would look fifteen and a half times better if it had a cool wand motion. It’s too rigid.

And where’s the stag? The first time we see this scene, the stag is chilling there before the light even starts to emanate. And then in the book, when Harry finally does it, the stag comes back and he realizes it’s his dad, the “Prongs” from the Marauder’s Map. But we don’t find that out in the film. What’s with that? This film franchise is like a big inside joke; they’re telling us mundane shit that we don’t care about and leaving out details like the fact that his dad was an author of the map and an Animagus that turned into a stag.

I like that Hermione’s holding onto the tree back there like the spell’s making her so horny she can’t even stand.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1371

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1372

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1373

Is he jizzing so hard his nose is bleeding?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1374

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1375

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1376

Sometimes people look really badass when performing magic.

This is not one of those times.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1377

“Let’s go get a taco.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1378

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1379

You were right, Hermione. It wasn’t my dad I saw earlier. It was me. I saw myself conjuring the Patronus before. I knew I could do it this time, because… because I’d already done it. Does that make sense?”

No. No it doesn’t.

Colin:

I hate it when shit like this happens. “I knew I could do it this time, cause…well….I’d already done it!” That’s not how the universe works! That’s CHEATING! Its existence justifies its own existence. (Like the Republican Party.)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1380

I like how Hermione’s looking at him like, “Harry, you just stabbed a guy with a trident.”

To her credit, even she says it doesn’t make any sense. And then it’s never brought up ever again.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1381

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1382

Hermione screams as they dip down. No one hears that? Wouldn’t you check out the window if it sounds like someone’s getting murdered outside? She sounds like Toad getting hit with a red shell.

Colin:

This was exactly my thinking on the matter as well. And later on, too. Sirius yells at the top of his lungs. That surely won’t alert the several hundred Dementors that are still in the immediate vicinity. Then again, even if we get attacked by Dementors again, there’s no longer any tension because Harry can always repel them with the Patronus charm that he can now do because he saw himself doing it, and that makes sense. WHAT THE FUCK, ROWLING, PUT IN AN HONEST DAY’S WORK FOR ONCE AND CLEAN THIS THE FUCK UP.

Love the visuals here, though.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1383

They just have those.

Colin:

This is sorta like Snape following Lupin earlier. It doesn’t really make sense with the timeline, at least the way they showed it. It appears that Harry sent the Dementors away, he and Hermione run back to Buckbeak, who’s literally just down the hill, they get on and fly him back to the castle, and Oldman’s already been magically whisked away to Delaware the high tower where he’s being held. Wouldn’t there be at least a reasonable gap there where he was found, picked up, brought back and thrown in the cell? Wouldn’t Harry and Hermione get there WAY before Sirius? Did they ACTUALLY go get a taco on the way?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1384

“All right, now, Gary – we’re gonna track in real fast, and you’re gonna stay perfectly still. Then you’re gonna turn your head real fast and give your best Charles Manson impression. Ready, go.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1385

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1386

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1387

“Bombarda!”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1388

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1389

Colin:

Okay! I see we’ve done away with Alohomora! She just blasted the fuck out of that door. Hermione’s a champ. But why didn’t they try a spell like that on Lupin? We were worried we might hurt him too much, so we decided to just let him kill us!

I’m pretty sure that’s the, “Let’s fuck some shit up!” spell. RAMPAGE!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1390

You truly are your father’s son, Harry!”

Why? How many prison breaks were there?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1391

I fucking hate that everyone has to make that “woo hoo” sound. Why would you do that to Gary?

Colin:

Why would you do that to HERMIONE? He looks like he’s doing unspeakable things to her butthole right now.

I think we found the fourth unforgivable spell.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1392

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1393

I love that they break him out of prison and he’s just sort of hanging out in the quad area of the campus. They rescue him within thirty minutes of his capture. You’d think someone would notice. Wouldn’t you put a Dementor outside his cell or something? Isn’t that what they do at Azkaban? How the fuck does no one see this happening? No one else knows he’s innocent yet. How does nobody see this? Is there no one in the center of campus to witness this? Why wouldn’t you take him somewhere else to say goodbye? WHAT THE FUCK?

Colin:

Okay, thank you. Being the crazy nit-picker is usually my thing. I really appreciate this, cause it all makes perfect sense. They have NO business being here whatsoever. There should have been a Dementor there to see them break him out. The man has already broken out of the world’s most secure prison, and you decide to leave him in a little wussy cell like that with NO GUARD? I bet Andy Dufresne could have busted out of there in time, and he wasn’t even magic.

If there’s no shit pipe then it’s not even worth it.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1394

“I’ll be forever grateful for this. To both of you.”

But not Ron. Fuck Ron.

Harry says he wants to go with him.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1395

“One day perhaps. For some time, life will be too… unpredictable.”

As if it wasn’t before this. Where have you been living, exactly, since you broke out?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1396

“Besides – you’re meant to be here.”

Because of that whole, ‘your destiny is to die’ thing?

“But, you’re innocent.”

“And you know it. For now, that’ll do.”

For how long, exactly? Because people are trying to kill you.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1397

“I expect you’re tired of hearing this, but you look so like your father. Except your eyes. You have –”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1398

“My mother’s eyes.”

Colin:

The number of times Harry’s been told he has his mother’s eyes makes me think that Lily Potter used to sit around as people came to stare into her eyes for no reason. “This doesn’t make sense now, but one day, it’ll come in handy when you recognize them somewhere else!” I don’t know what my friends’ eyes look like. Mike could have purple eyes and I wouldn’t know. I don’t know what color eyes Puerto Ricans have.

I’d say “I Don’t Know What Color Eyes Puerto Ricans Have” should be the subtitle, but that may be way too inside.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1399

“It’s cruel that I got to spend so much time with James and Lily and you so little.”

What?

“But know this – the ones that love us never really leave us. And you can always find them –”

In the dumpster out back of IHOP?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1400

“ – in here.”

Oh.

Colin:

The whole, “dead people live on within us, in our hearts” thing is such a cliché. I think even if I watched a loved one get murdered in front of me, and someone tried to comfort me with that line, I’d be like, “Yeah, I’ve seen a fucking movie before, asshole.”

It’s the clutching his chest afterwards that makes it extra corny.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1401

All this shit just went down and absolutely no one is around.

Who exactly put him in the Dark Tower if there aren’t any authorities around?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1402

Nah, who needs a saddle? We’ll just chain him up!

Do you think Sirius bowed? Or does Gary Oldman bow for no one?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1403

Apparently all animals you ride on do this before they ride off. Or maybe he’s just being choked by a fucking CHAIN!

Colin:

Choking the hippogriff. That’s exactly what it sounds like. (Masturbating.)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1404

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1405

And there he goes. Gary Oldman riding into the moonlight on a hippogriff.

How like life.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1406

Is Lupin dead? Or is he just rubbing his dick on tree bark somewhere in the forest?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1407

I do love how no one wonders, “You think Lupin is dead?”

Hermione does notice the time, though.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1408

Gotta get back to the hospital for those ‘consequences’ or whatever.

Which pretty much just feels like they’re only for Ron at this point.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1409

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1410

This is like Legends of the Hidden Temple after they get the artifact and have to get back out before time expires.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1411

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1412

Colin:

They run up stairs FAST!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1413

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1414

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1415

“Well?”

No surprise. Just ‘…and?’

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1416

“He’s free. We did it.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1417

“Did what?”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1418

“Goodnight.”

Colin:

Best delivery of the franchise.

Best moment IN the franchise.

Colin:

Oh, you know…as for delivery, it still might tie with Malfoy in Chamber of Secrets. “I didn’t know you could read.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1419

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1420

“How’d you two get over there?”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1421

“What’s he talking about, Harry?”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1422

“I don’t know. Honestly, Ron, how can somebody be in two places at once?”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1423

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1424

Colin:

They’re doing that laugh like, “We just fucked in the broom closet and he doesn’t know.”

I just realized that’s my usual laugh.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1425

But actually. You don’t say some shit like that and then laugh. Obviously they’re in on some shit. Plus — didn’t they just explain what was going on with him in the room like seconds ago?

Ron’s injured, he’s not concussed.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1426

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1427

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1428

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1429

Colin:

The Whomping Willow just fucks up birds on a regular basis, huh? How long does that immobilizing charm last?

Long enough to party.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1430

I like how it sighs afterward, like, “…ahh, good to be home again.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1431

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1432

I love this Defense Against the Dark Arts office/classroom.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1433

I like this moment at the beginning where, before he turns around, Lupin’s like, “Hello, Harry.” And Harry’s like ‘what the fuck?’ and then he goes ‘I saw you walking’. Like, no, there’s no magic here, I just fucking saw you.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1434

Harry assumes they fired him. But Lupin says he resigned.

Why? It seems he only really had two incidents. And the potions he takes presumably seem to help. Plus all he really needs to do is stay inside three nights a month. Oh, or is it the whole “my best friend is a fugitive and I helped him” thing?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1435

Colin:

What was that paper he just tore up and threw in the fire? I mean, I get it, the Allies will overrun this position any day. But what was that paper?

Reminds me of this tweet someone wrote (I’m paraphrasing): “If you walk into any business executive’s office and say, ‘Shred everything,’ they’ll just start doing it, no questions asked.” One of my favorite jokes I’ve ever heard.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1436

He’s resigned because someone let slip the nature of his condition.

“Snape.”

“Whoever. It was bound to get out. This time tomorrow, the owls will start arriving. Parents will not want a — someone like me — teaching their children.”

The notion of parental outrage is one of the most realistic things in the franchise. But I still can’t get over the fact that him being a werewolf is somehow worse than him aiding and abetting a known fugitive.

So is the idea that Snape, realizing they were all on the same side, couldn’t do anything about him so instead he let the werewolf thing slip just so he wouldn’t have to see him around school anymore?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1437

“But Dumbledore-”

“Has already risked enough on my behalf.”

What do you mean ‘risked’? At one point does it ever seem like Dumbledore is really in danger of losing his job? Even when they come to take it he’s not in any danger.

“Besides, people like me are – let’s just say that I’m used to it by now.”

See why I thought he was gay?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1438

Colin:

Ah yes. The neat little suitcase set. He either flies around the country firing people for a living, or his ailment has made him a social pariah. One or the other.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1439

“Why do you look so miserable, Harry?”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1440

“None of it made any difference. Pettigrew escaped.”

But actually, though.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1441

Lupin practically slaps the shit out of him. “Motherfucker, it made a lot of difference! Your godfather was gonna be fucking dead!”

But only because he escaped. How did he escape, exactly?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1442

He also gives him the Marauder’s Map back. Since he’s not his teacher anymore.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1443

“So now I’ll say goodbye, Harry. I feel sure we’ll meet again some time. Until then –”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1444

“Mischief managed.”

Colin:

Thanks for explaining the map to us, dickbrain.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1445

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1446

Is he just leaving all his shit there? Gonna make the house elves get it or something?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1447

Goodbye, Mr. Chips.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1448

Colin:

YEAH! The ghosts on horses again! Their whole M.O. is just to ride around holding severed heads and laughing about shit. Possibly my favorite characters in the franchise.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1449

Oh wow, real food.

Though, it’s oranges. I’ve watched the Godfather enough to just assume when oranges happen, someone’s about to die.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1450

Harry’s got a present.

Colin:

Oh look, the black, Black kid is back.

And it looks like he’s got a girlfriend now! Good for him!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1451

It’s a Firebolt.

How could Sirius afford that? And why does Harry not have to pay for a single goddamn thing in his entire life?

But also, did Sirius just steal that broom? Or is everyone in this universe just independently wealthy except the Weasleys?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1452

She want it.

Also it looks like Ron has horns.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1453

Is that a sex games thing?

Hey, remember that movie 40 Days and 40 Nights where Josh Hartnett brings a chick to orgasm with a feather? Because I do. And I’m not above making a reference to it. Because I know you all remember it too.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1454

I love that pendulum. Though I’m surprised we never see anyone get absolutely wrecked by it while walking through at the wrong moment.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1455

What? So he just gets a new broom and all of a sudden the entire school is gonna go watch him ride it?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1456

Is there a fucking bow on it?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1458

“Hermione… touch it. It needs it.”

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1459

I never understood everyone gathering around for shit like that. It always takes me out of movies. Like when everyone starts cheering and applauding out of nowhere. Once that happens to me in life, then I’ll let it slide.

Colin:

Especially since it seems like for the rest of the year, every year, the whole school leaves him the fuck alone unless they hate him for some reason. As long as he’s neutral with everyone, he just chills with Ron and Hermione and nobody pays attention to him. But once he gets a Firebolt, everyone’s gotta watch. Don’t even bother, you guys. Next year, Malfoy’s gonna have a Firebolt 2. Nah, I’m kidding. As it stands, the Firebolt is STILL the fastest broomstick in the Harry Potter universe, cause for the few years we cared about brooms a better one came out every year, and after that a new broom never came out again. That’s how things work, right? 

Until the new iBroom comes out.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1460

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1461

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1462

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1463

Maybe not have your final shot look the same as when you have your soul sucked out by a Dementor.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1464

“Lumos. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”

Love these credits.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1465

Badass. One more curious thing during the credits I’d like to direct your attention to…

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1466

I’m assuming you all know how the Marauder’s Map works by now. Right here, down in the corner…

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1467

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1468

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1469

Is that two people fucking? I’m pretty sure that’s two people fucking.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 1470

Mischief managed, indeed.

– – – – – – – – – –

Tomorrow, we’ll go over our favorite images from the film, and Sunday, we’ll write up our final thoughts about it. And then Monday, we start Goblet of Fire.
