Azkaban was a better book than either Stone or Secrets and yet the movie was a
bit of rubbish. I certainly wasn't the only one leaving the theature making loud
noises of displeasure. Admittedly those of us that go to see midnight release of
a Harry Potter movies are probably the biggest fans but even looking at it as a
non-fan it was just a poorly made movie. Obviously the critics are easily swayed
by a lot of style above substanance.

Stone and Secrets were a true representation of the books. Those movies followed
the books closely and looked like what readers had imagined in their own minds.
Azkaban did not follow the book's storyline. It did not look like what most of
us imagined when we read the book. It did not look like what we'd have expected
from having seen the previous movies. It's as if Peter Jackson had made
Fellowship and Towers and then they'd given over Return of the King to Quentin
Tarantino.
