Remember when the Harry Potter films went from being kind of just okay to freaking amazing? That was the work of director Alfonso Cuarón on the third film, The Prisoner of Azkaban, providing the franchise more style and character than the previous two films combined.

From the moment the first frames of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince burst from my home theatre projector and onto my screen I was lost in the film.

By Brenden ⋅ December 8, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment
