[Version française]
"Although the previous Harry Potter movies have included some fine performances (from the likes of Harris and Kenneth Branagh, as well as from Coltrane, Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith, all three of whom reappear here), "The Prisoner of Azkaban" is the first Harry Potter movie that's really a showcase for actors. Radcliffe, Watson and Grint were appealing enough in the earlier movies, but their performances were also a bit stiff and perfunctory. Slightly older and more seasoned now -- in addition to the fact that they're working with an intuitive director who clearly knows how to guide young actors -- they've learned how to fully relax into their characters. They never mug; their faces show gradations of expression we haven't seen before. Emma Thompson is hilarious in her small role as the dotty, aged-hippie divination teacher professor Trelawny. And Oldman's Sirius Black and Thewlis' Lupin bring vast reserves of emotional gravity, balanced by the right proportions of good humor, to the picture."
