Review Detail

I've never been a huge fan of either the books or the movies with the sole exception of Cuaron's Prisoner of Azkaban, and last time I had a hankering to watch Azkaban a few years it was during the pandemic, so with little else to do I decided to rewatch all 8 movies. They are ROUGH--especially these first two, which are sodden with overlong, clunky, leaden dialog and acting.

Well, I wanted to watch Azkaban again, and figured there HAD to be good fanedits of them. There are, of course, and they're almightycutie's. This edit is strictly superior in every way; tighter, smarter, and quicker. One of the best and purely editorial edits is Hagrid; I never understood why these movies seemed determined to make him seem like a complete idiot--not comic so much as just "haha look at the stupid outcast guy"--weirdly mean-spirited, and it's gone here. Beautifully done.
