The Prisoner of Azkaban

I thought the Prisoner of Azkaban was the best book there was, and then they bring out the movie and it was rubbish, does anyone else think the movie should have been more like the book?

The movies should ALWAYS be more like the books, but sadly never are...

I was happy with the LotR extended editions, i thought they were fine. The first 2 Harry Potters were ok too. But this only roughly followed the books storyline.

I've found the movies followed the books fairly well. The small inconsistencies that I noticed were only after re-reading the books. Human imagination often creates what hollywood cannot.

Yeah your right.
Which movie d'you think was most like its book?

The latest was most enjoyable for me as it expands the emotional and relationship aspect of the characters. The twist at the end still has me baffled as to what will happen in 2yrs time when the next book comes out.
The GOF was very detailed and I look forward to sfx being done right in the movie (being released 18Nov05). It will be interesting to see if they can carry that off without it looking too phony.
POA was a mild mystery and of course the first two were introductory in nature and more to capture interest IMO.
