‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ returns to cinemas for 20th anniversary

‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' is returning to cinemas this week in honour of its 20th anniversary.

For a limited time only, the film will return to cinemas courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures. Originally premiering in 2004, the third film in the ‘Harry Potter' franchise grossed more than $804 million worldwide.

Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, particularly since he has survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion.

But his hopes for a quiet school term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison.

It's assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be… but is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously?

‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' was directed by Alfonso Cuarón with screenplay by Steve Kloves, based on the 1999 novel of the same name, written by J. K. Rowling. 

The film stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Gary Oldman, Robbie Coltrane, Michael Gambon, Richard Griffiths, Alan Rickman, Fiona Shaw, Maggie Smith, Timothy Spall, David Thewlis, Emma Thompson, and Julie Walters.

For screening availability please check your local cinema listings.
