The first two Harry Potter movies, both directed by Christopher Columbus, were massive hits. After those two relatively light-hearted movies, director Alfonso Cuaron came on-board and took the franchise in a darker direction with the third film- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban definitely raises a few questions. Like why was Harry Potter intentionally doing magic outside of Hogwarts? When did the entire layout of Hogwarts and its grounds change so dramatically? How are a bunch of deadly Dementors better than the threat of a single wizard maybe entering the school? Did Fred and George not notice a man named Peter sleeping in their brother’s bed every night on the Marauder’s Map? What exactly were Wormtail and Sirius’s plans here?

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

    These Pitch Meetings are really helping keep up my spirits as I deal with crippling abdominal cramps associated with presumptive norovirus infection. Send prayers.

    I still remember when my girlfriend tried to get me to watch Harry Potter.

    It was some 22 years ago now, wow… Ok, so two decades ago and we were living in Texas with a couple doushbags but that's irrelevant. It was the opening scene where he is pictured living under the stairs of uncaring…was it his aunt and uncle? But it hit way too close to my own unresolved life issues. Not that I lived under the stairs but I did sleep on a broken table in the "dining room" when my two other brothers had the room to share. They always had rooms, I slept on the couch, or in the garage eventually when I had to come back as an adult.

    I immediately told her to turn it off and I never had any interest since… And honestly, after watching all these reviews of this entire series and incredibly retarded the whole thing is if you stop the think about any of it for longer than half a second without a suspension of disbelief and it's literal braingarbage. But congrats everyone.

    Congrats.

    The Prisoner of Azkaban is a vexing entry into the series. On one hand, it is absolutely the best single film in the movie series in terms of how the material is handled by Cuaron. On the other hand, narratively, it is frustratingly nonsensical in so many ways. They touch on some of it in this Pitch Meeting, but it is really just the tip of the ice berg. I know that there are plot holes galore in all of the books and movies, but this one really stands out in a lot of ways … possibly because the plot holes are emphasized so much due to the quality of so many other aspects of the movie. Just my little Harry Potter rant.

    I vaguely remember having a book in college similar to that "Book of Monsters," .. but, of course, I was dropping a lot of acid at the time. So … yeah.

    I read the book AFTER watching the movie and the Whomping Willow scene made me realize how much violence was left out in the movies.

    Quick hot take on the whole "Lupin forgetting the potion" thing: we never see him going to get it from Snape. In the book, the only time we see him take it is when Snape brings it to him, and we know Snape has been trying to out him as a werewolf all year. What if, since that was the last full moon of the term, Snape brought the potion late on purpose so Lupin would transform and get fired?
