The Best Harry Potter Book & Movie Completely Changed the Franchise Forever

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban marked a turning point for the series. The story became more complex as Harry discovered the man believed responsible for his parents’ death had escaped, and a dangerous plot began to emerge. The film’s tone also shifted dramatically, becoming darker and more mature with the direction of Alfonso Cuarón, who replaced the previous, more family-oriented director and steered the franchise toward an older audience.
