                           The Prisoner of Azkaban

The Facility in the Middle of Nowhere goes to the movies. The movie was Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban [1]. Unlike the other two Harry [2] Potter
[3] films, this one was, according to Spring, more Halloween than Christmas.
And it was all the better for it.

About the only thing I didn't really care for was Michael Gambon's [4]
portrayal of Hogwart's headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. While he looked exactly
like Richard Harris [5] in the Albus Dumbledore role, it wasn't the same calm
understated manner that Harris played Dumbledore—Gambon was more animated and
… well … loud (well, compared to Harris' near whispering of the role, it did
come across as loud). It's a slightly different interpretation of the role,
but having liked the Harris interpretation, it's hard to warm up to Gambon in
the same role.

Alan Rickman [6] is, as usual, wonderful in his role as Severus Snape (and I
wish, I just wish, he'll get more screen time in the future.
