Description
In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry, Ron and Hermione, now teenagers, return for their third year at Hogwarts, where they are forced to face escaped prisoner, Sirius Black, who poses a great threat to Harry. Harry and his friends spend their third year learning how to handle a half-horse half-eagle Hippogriff, repel shape-shifting Boggarts and master the art of Divination. They also visit the wizarding village of Hogsmeade and the Shrieking Shack, which is considered the most haunted building in Britain. In addition to these new experiences, Harry must overcome the threats of the soul-sucking Dementors, outsmart a dangerous werewolf and finally deal with the truth about Sirius Black and his relationship to Harry and his parents. With his best friends, Harry masters advanced magic, crosses the barriers of time and changes the course of more than one life. Directed by Alfonso Cuaron and based on J.K. Rowling's third book, this wondrous spellbinder soars with laughs, and the kind of breathless surprise only found in a Harry Potter adventure.
Very Disappointed!

They have ruined this box set by not including extended versions of the films. The first 2 had them so I expected that all the movies on ultimate edition were going to be extended. Will no longer be buying these! Rumor has it they have tons of footage that was removed especially from the later movies. I heard like 30 to 45 mins worth. I was expecting each release to get longer extended versions then the past. Only thing making this still tempting is the new documentary's they have on each one. I wanted to see all those.
How are these Ultimate if NO EXTENDED versions!?!

Like many of you who purchased the first two ultimate editions at a pretty penny, i was expecting extended editions of movies 3 and 4. What a disappointment! Were the big wigs at WB thinking that their fans would triple dip editions when they bring out all films in one super ultimate collection? I already owned all of the HP on Blu, but sold them when i started buying the Ultimate editions. I will NOT be purchasing 3 and 4. Very poor on WB's part to say its ultimate, and include 8 hours of bonus materials, but not the few extra scenes that regularly show on TV. Very poor indeed.
No extended versions??

I'm a total fan of both the Harry Potter books and the movies. I purchased the first two Ultimate Editions primarily to have the extended versions. I was always frustrated that they didn't originally put them in the first DVD's (other than the individual clips) but they would insert the extra footage when they played the movies on tv. When I learned the ultimate editions were coming out for the 3rd and 4th movies I was overjoyed UNTIL I heard that they are not including the extended cuts. Hello?? Isn't that what the "Ultimate Editons" are all about?? Needless to say I will not be purchasing these.

Grandchildren have read all Harry Potter books. Now they get to watch all of the movies when they visit grandma.
An exciting ride

The prisoner of Arzaban is the third saga of Harry. After a wit beginning in which Harry punishes his own aunt turning her into a enormous globe, he will have to deal with an obscure treat. Sirius Black has escaped from prison and goes for him to make some adjustments from the recent past.
Meanwhile, the story intermingles funny sequences, the art of reading the tea and some other devices of our young magician.
Funny and amusing all the way through. Kudos for Gary Oldman, Michael Gambon and Emma Thompson in their respective roles.
