As a Ha fan, whether it is the original masterpiece or 7 film works, I have watched it no less than three times. The success of the Harry Potter series is inevitable, derived from the description of the magical world, the complex relationships between the characters, the subtle details of the feelings, the mysteries of the doubts, and the design of the war scenes, which lead us to grow all the way from Harry's point of view and experience a feast of the magical world.
But when it comes to favorites, whether it's the original work or the series of movies, there's no doubt that the third harry potter and the prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite. I feel that the original author J· K. Rowling will also think that "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is the most sophisticated in the whole series, whether it is from the length or details, especially the plot preparation and the setting of the subsequent plot, from the plot design to the delicate emotional processing, and the main plot promotion.
In particular, the third adaptation of the film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, directed by Alfonso Cuarón, in some ways I think goes beyond the original.
1. Detail handling
1) Harry's owl paintings from his aunt's house suggest that Harry inherited Jaime's talent for painting, and it is later revealed that Jaime was also one of the authors of the Marauder's Map. Although there are no subtitles next to the film and television drama, the short shot of the movie is actually better than the description and hint in the book.
2) When Harry left his aunt's house in a negative mood, there was still the figure of Aunt Maggie in the sky, and a faint scream. Here is also a unique performance of film and television, which makes people laugh.
3) Dementors appear and pave the way
The appearance of the Dementors is a direct trigger for Sirius's escape from prison, which temporarily causes a strong sense of conflict and crisis, leaving Harry in unknown danger and fear. The details of the Dementor's appearance, from the lights of the carriage gradually turning off, and then the normal dialogue between Harry, Ron, and Hermione, to the breath of Hermione's speech, makes people feel the arrival of cold, and the water bottle in the back window quickly freezes. Later, when the Dementors appeared near the school, the flowers and plants around them were frozen.
Through the plot, picture, sound and character behavior, etc., the film can easily brew the mystery, tension, fear, and uneasiness of the characters when the Dementor comes.
The appearance of Lupin, a major character in the third episode, and Harry's reaction to the Dementors, pave the way for the storyline to unfold below.
4) Prophecy in divination class and Harry's taming of eagle horses and Lupin's magic lessons
Full of foreshadowing, the film directly gives people a sense of suspense through the divination teacher's crazy words and expressions, paving the way for the development of the story.
5) The divination class predicted harry potter's relationship with Sirius
6) In the taming class, harry can drive an eagle horse, and the other is that the eagle horse kicks Malfoy. With the foreshadowing of the two outcomes of the back eagle horse being killed and being rescued.
7) In magic class, Lupin is afraid of the full moon, paving the way for Hermione to discover that she is a werewolf, and Snape's women's clothes, Harry faces the Dementors, Lupin casts a guardian spell, and here is also the background with Snape's ability to summon guardians and deer. Here is also different from the original, through a few representative characters, Na Wei afraid of Snape, the girl afraid of spiders and other simple shots directly through the original long description, but just right.
8) Quidditch matches, fill-in-the-blank clouds in the shape of dogs and cloud dementors cause Harry Potter's childhood shadows, paving the way for Lupin to teach Harry Potter guardian spells in the future. Movies such as umbrellas falling in the air and dementors under dark clouds give people a sense of tension and reality.
9) Christmas, the advent of the Cloak of Invisibility and the Marauder's Map led to the presence of Peter Pettigrew.
Details in the film, such as harry's lack of guarantors, his inability to attend Christmas events, and his final choice to wear the invisibility cloak left by his parents, the footprints in the snow and Harry's demeanor, all reveal Harry's inner loneliness.
10) Harry, Ron, and Hermione go to Hagrid to see Hagrid killed.
For example, when Hermione met Marfure and gave him a punch, he remembered that in the original book it was a slap, and he felt that the fist could better express Hermione's anger. Harry was stoned in the house, and three people were hiding behind a pumpkin pile, and Hermione felt an abnormal turn, all of which were paved with crossing behind.
And when The Eagle Horse is killed, Hermione turns around and hugs Ron, which also indicates the final choice and belonging of Hercules.
11) Hermione slapped Harry's hand before time travel, a detail not found in the original book, but more realistic and graphic. There are also details and flaws that describe the passage of time in greater detail than in the original book, such as Dumbledore's hints, deliberately blocking officials and executioners in front of Hagrid's house, and Harry being stoned by Hermione, Hermione vaguely seeing herself, and so on. It feels more delicate and reasonable than the original.
12) The truth about the characters of Pettigrew and Sirius is reversed.
This is the climax of the whole play, and all doubts are solved. The Great Reversal of the True Enemy and Guardian, Pettigrew and Sirius, and Lupin and Harry's father James's past relationship are revealed. Film and television dramas through the transfer of the lens, the plot and atmosphere of the transformation of people are dazzling, giving people a great shock.
13) An accident occurs, under the full moon Lupin transforms into a werewolf after a differential attack, Pettigrew absconds, Sirius is seriously injured by the werewolf Lupin in order to save Harry, and finally the Dementor attacks, and Sirius is captured and taken back to prison.
Compared with the original languageized description, the film version is converted through the lens, and many details feel well adapted.
Especially from two angles, one is the encounter of Harry Hermione and his party before the crossing, Harry Hermione is powerless to save Sirius who has been sucked up by the Dementors, and when the guardian soul steps on the light. Harry wondered.
Another angle is the angle of Harry and Hermione who crossed over, Harry waited until the end to no avail, and finally found that it was Harry himself who summoned the guardian's soul. The doubts of the former are solved at once, and the visual and plot are reasonable and compact, which gives people a great shock.
It also heralded Harry overcoming the shadow of his childhood and beginning to truly grow up.
14) Butterfly Effect, Harry and Hermione cross to save the bird's beak, the bird's beak in the kick away werewolf Lupin saved Harry and Hermione. In the end, Harry and Hermione rode on eagle horses to save Sirius from prison. Many details in the movie can highlight the personality characteristics of the characters. For example, Dumbledore was more like an omniscient, such as the meaningful smile that saw Harry and Hermione, and so on.
There are so many details like that, I won't go into them all.
I think in many people's minds, every change in the third part is very perfect, its core is the closest to the original, the most shocking, it is deservedly the best one. It tells us that it is not necessary to have a good work only by making the original work step by step.
The above is a personal analysis of the harry potter and the prisoner of Azkaban film and the original book, some of the content pictures come from the Internet.
