Summary

"Harry," said Mr. Weasley quietly, "come over here a moment." He jerked his head toward a pillar, and Harry followed him behind it, leaving the others crowded around Mrs. Weasley. "There's something I've got to tell you before you leave ----" said Mr. Weasley, in a tense voice. " It's alright Mr. Weasley," said Harry. "I already know." "You know? How could you know?" "I ---- er ---- I heard you and Mrs Weasley talking last night. I couldn't help hearing," Harry added quickly. "Sorry ----" Today is the day the Riddikulus Crew gives The Prisoner of Azkaban its farewell for the arc. We close out this installment of the Harry Potter series by highlighting some of the major key differences between the novel and the film. From the blowing up of Aunt Marge, to the dog seen in Magnolia Crescent, to Harry's time at the Leaky Cauldron before the start of the Hogwarts School year, there are so many removed moments that made the story what it was. With the acutely detailed examination that you've come to expect from Chase & Josh, we detail both major and minor variations that stuck out to us. Covering some alterations that really changed the story, huge events that were plainly omitted and the very few times the film added a unique deviations that enhanced the film, tag along as we close out Book 3 in this 7-Book series. You may be surprised just how different the film and novel are once we provide evidence such as the Quidditch Cup Final, omission of important characters, Harry's first Hogsmeade experience, the Firebolt and entering the Whomping Willow just to name a few! In the words of ALBUS DUMBLEDORE, "Didn't make any difference?" said Dumbledore quietly. "It made all the difference in the world, Harry. You helped uncover the truth. You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate." (Page 425)

You know, when I first watched it, I was like, this film is a lot better than the other

1:12.1

it's about on the same level. I'm trying to get a little bit higher. I don't know. What about you, Jay Nelly?

1:18.0

The thing is, it's crazy because if you watch the film without reading the book it can I can see why people

1:25.4

would enjoy it but then it's like what we do is we go right from reading the book to watching the film

1:31.6

fresh in your head what the book was and then when you try to see what you read in the book on the
