HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN
When his Uncle Vernon’s sister Madge comes to visit and
makes disparaging remarks about Harry’s parents, he curses her, causing her to
inflate and float away. Harry leaves and catches the Knight Bus, a magic
transport for witches and wizards which takes him to the Leaky Cauldron at
Diagon alley. On the way he learns
about the mass murderer Sirius Black, who has escaped from the wizarding prison
of Azkaban. At the Leaky Cauldron Harry
meets Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic and to his surprise is not
punished for illegally using magic. Mr. Weasley tells Harry Sirius Black wants
to kill him. On the train to Hogwarts, new professor R. J. Lupin saves Harry
from a dementor attack. The dementors, which usually guard Azkaban now guard
Hogwarts. Hagrid’s first class as a professor goes wrong as Buckbeak, the
hippogriff bites Draco Malfoy. Harry sneaks into the village of Hogsmede using
his invisibility cloak and learns that Sirius Black betrayed his parents and
killed their friend Peter Pettigrew. Harry learns how to defeat dementors and
Buckbeak is ordered executed. On the day of the execution, Hagrid refuses to
let Harry, Ron or Hermione watch, but they observe from afar. A black dog
attacks Ron and drags him to the shrieking shack, where Sirius Black appears.
Harry is about to kill Sirius, when Lupin appears and disarms Harry. The two
tell the three friends that it was actually Peter Pettigrew who betrayed
Harry’s parents and has been hiding as Ron’s rat, Scabbers ever since. On the way back to the castle to turn
Pettigrew in Lupin turns into a werewolf and Pettigrew escapes. Harry follows
Sirius and both are attacked by dementors. Someone drives them away. Sirius is
caught and sentenced to have his soul sucked out by the dementors. Hermione and
Harry use her time-turner to go back three hours. They hide Buckbeak so he’s
not killed. It was Harry who saved himself and Sirius from the dementors. He
and Hermione use Buckbeak to rescue Sirius. The next day June 7, 1994 Lupin
resigns and leaves Hogwarts. [2:05:50 to 2:09:35]
