Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Nobody does it, Ben It. Yes, I've gone and said it. Movies and games, some things that are lame. Nobody does it, Bennett.

SPEAKER_12 0:18

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Nobody Does It Bennett, movie review podcast. I'm your host, Greg Bennett. And tonight I'm joined by Jimmer and Tenzin as we go through the third film in the Harry Potter movie franchise. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Escoban. Jimmer, welcome back. We last saw you for legally blonde. But now it's time to return to the wizarding world. Are you excited?

SPEAKER_02 0:45

Oh, I am so excited. I got my luggage. I am ready for the Hogwarts Express.

SPEAKER_12 0:50

Because last time in Chamber of Secrets, we skipped all that and went straight to Hogwarts.

SPEAKER_02 0:54

Certainly, and I wanted something from the trolley dears.

SPEAKER_12 0:57

Imagine that, like they're in the cars, like, I'm not gonna get anything from the trolley. Pumpkin pesticides. God, good, I want another chocolate frog because the yeah before my chocolate frog jumped out the window.

unknown 1:06

True.

SPEAKER_12 1:07

And Tenzin, we finished off the Star Wars prequels. It's now time to continue the Harry Potter films. Are you ready?

SPEAKER_09 1:14

Did King. It's gonna be great. Go and bet Tog Warts.

SPEAKER_12 1:17

Ready to suck it up. Demento style. Tonight we'll be going through the movie with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Escoban. We'll run through the story beat by beat, offering our opinions along the way. We will also be acting out certain scenes with our own unique voices. And if you hear any random bird noises, that's just the budgie boys, JB and Garfunkel. They like to have their say every now and then. After we've gone through the film, we'll give you our ratings for Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azcabon. Every time I say that, I gotta go a bit more British. Harry Potter.

SPEAKER_02 1:49

Ascobon.

SPEAKER_12 1:50

Where will it land on the NDIB charts? So in the top five, we have number one, Ecle, Jurassic Park, with a perfect 50 stars. And also in first Equal Tenzen, we have Good Fellas from 1990 with an also perfect 50 stars. And number three, we have Spider-Man 2 from 2004 with 49 stars out of a possible 50. In fourth place, we have Jumanji from 1995 with 47 and a half stars out of 50. In fifth place, we have Titanic from 1997. Or 47 out of 50 stars. The memories of that one. Our hearts will go on.

SPEAKER_09 2:28

Yeah, that was a while ago.

SPEAKER_12 2:30

It was. But you know what? Titanic references keep popping up. Or down, down, down. Oh. The previous three Harry Potter films we have reviewed. Yes, three? We jumped ahead to the Order of the Phoenix for controversial reasons. Check out the Order of the Phoenix podcast if you want the juicy details. So the rankings for the other Potter films are currently an 10th equal is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone with 42 and a half stars out of 50. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is 10th equal with two other films. Boogie Knights from 1997 and Batman Returns. In 13th place, unlucky for some, but not for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Drink 40.5 stars out of 50. And in 22nd place, we have Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. 37.5 out of a possible 50 stars. This means the rankings of the Potter films have gone in order of films so far.

SPEAKER_02 3:27

Remains to be seen if the trend shall continue.

SPEAKER_12 3:29

Will Prison of Escoban form between Order and Chamber? Or will it be the new top? We know that Jimma from the Order of the Phoenix podcast that uh you had some interesting thoughts about Prisoner of Escoban, so it'll be interesting to hear what you say at the end of this. So Mortal Kombat Annihilation is still last with a score of 15 and a half stars out of a possible 50 stars.

SPEAKER_02 3:49

Oof. Does it make you nervous for Mortal Kombat 2 coming out? No, that looks really good. It does look good, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_12 3:54

Annihilation was after the original Mortal Kombat, so they had no excuse, but this one with our own Kiwi man.

SPEAKER_02 4:00

Carl Urban.

SPEAKER_12 4:01

Carl Urban, that looks good. And the Street Fighter as well in the same year? Well.

SPEAKER_02 4:04

Oh my gosh, what a treat that'll be from the WWE.

SPEAKER_12 4:07

Absolutely. Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes. First up, though, we'll give you a brief intro about our experiences with Harry Posser and the Prisoner of Azkaban. What are your guys' initial thoughts about Prisoner of Azkaban and do you have any favourite moments from the film? Tenzin, I'll let you go first since you seem to be uber excited about us covering Prisoner of Azkaban.

SPEAKER_09 4:28

So my experiences with Prisoner of Azkaban were definitely when I was a kid watching it on DVD, and it's definitely my favourite of the Harry Potter movies. I love the tone of it, everything about it, the like mood, atmosphere, and I still remember the scene when we first see the Dementors and that terrifying me as a kid. It's a great movie.

SPEAKER_12 4:49

And Gemma, do you have any thoughts?

SPEAKER_02 4:51

Look, I respectfully disagree. When it comes to the Harry Potter movies, this is I think my least favourite. Ooh. Of all of them. If only because, in context, we were watching this after having the first two films that had a very congruous feel to them, and then all of a sudden, it changes. The whole layout of the castle changed. Visually, there was a lot of differences. Obviously, we've got a new director in, and I think aesthetically I appreciate it now, looking at it, but at the time it just felt like a break from tradition, and Young Me certainly didn't appreciate it. But I think for me, the book of The Prisoner of Azcapan is a lot better than the movie is. I thoroughly enjoyed the book when I'd read it. I will never ever get the beautiful purple from the original covers out of my mind. But the film just didn't stand out for me. I don't think on it fondly at all. Which feels unfortunate to say because I love the Harry Potter series so much and I still think it's great. It's just full short.

SPEAKER_09 5:44

I thought Goblet of Fly was your least favourite.

SPEAKER_02 5:46

Well, I remember more from The Goblet of Fire. It is my least favourite in terms of objectively just not great. But I think the Prisoner of Azapan is my least favourite in terms of when I sit here and I haven't watched the movies for a while and you try to think what happened in it, I just pull up blanks. It doesn't really factor at all.

SPEAKER_12 6:04

Plus Batterson's and Goblet of Fire, how do you say Goblet of Fire is worse than Prisoner of Azkaban when there's Batman involved.

SPEAKER_02 6:11

Yeah, I also just feel like Goblet of Fire is very memeable.

SPEAKER_12 6:14

Oh yeah. I'm not gonna give too much away for Goblet of Fire, but yeah, I've got a special place in my heart for Goblet of Fire. Yeah, I like Goblet too. But it's funny you say that stuff about Prison of Rascoban because for me, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Rascoban was a drastic change in the Harry Potter movie formula, and when it first came out, I was really put off by it. The vast change in the entire environment and style threw me off completely. I was certainly not ready for it. Has my opinion changed though since then? Find out at the end of the show. Next, we'll give you our brief thoughts about the upcoming Harry Potter TV show before we run through the film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Escobar. If you like what you hear and would like to listen or find out more about the shows, well, you can by going to the Nobody Does It Bennett Facebook page. Nobody does it Bennett is available on Spotify, YouTube, and other podcast services. Nobody does it better is now available on Apple Podcasts. So you now have even more ways to listen and enjoy. Before we jump into the film, I just thought we could quickly talk about our thoughts on the upcoming HBO Harry Potter TV show. What are our opinions about the trailer, as well as what we hope to see in the show itself? Gemma, what were your thoughts and what do you hope to see?

SPEAKER_02 7:28

I feel a type of way about it. You know, there's so much nostalgia and there's so much history in the Harry Potter films and the books. I've always struggled to reconcile how I feel with the books to how I feel about the movies, like they feel like very separate entities. And so going into the TV show, which I will watch, I kind of feel like I'm gonna have to make more space for it, and it will be its own thing in the way that the movie was its own thing comparative to the books. I will watch it. I don't really have a strong opinion or feeling.

SPEAKER_12 7:58

And Tenzin, do you have any thoughts or opinions about the new Harry Potter TV show?

SPEAKER_09 8:02

I'm really the same, to be honest. Like, really blow me away when I saw the trailer. Kind of just felt very much the same as the movie. Didn't really feel like it covered too much, you know, new material. But I feel like the first maybe three seasons will feel very much like the movies, but then it'll be probably the later seasons that get a bit more interesting when they cover more of the book than the movies did. So I guess I'm more looking forward to I guess the later seasons of the show more than the early seasons, if that makes sense. I'm like half and half, really, in terms of being positive about it. I guess the movies hold a big place in my heart because I grew up with them, so I don't really want the TV series to kind of alter my perception of my childhood so much, but yeah, we'll see. I will watch it and just yeah, I'm kind of reserved in my opinion at the moment.

SPEAKER_02 8:55

I do wonder if this TV show is going to be what brings in a new generation of Harry Potter fans. The likes of my kids who are at an age that I was when I started watching the movies, will the TV show mean to them what, say, the Avatar The Last Airbender was for me? I don't know.

SPEAKER_12 9:12

Or Batman the Animated Series.

SPEAKER_02 9:13

Or Batman the Animated Series.

SPEAKER_12 9:15

Us older people here. I think it's really interesting that you say that it's really good to bring it in for a new audience as well. They tried that with the new Star Wars films for a new audience. Yeah, it didn't really pay off. But doesn't mean you can't try the TV show. And I love the fact that they've decided to make it a TV show and not just redo the movies again.

SPEAKER_09 9:30

Yeah, I think that works a lot better.

SPEAKER_12 9:32

Might be corporate stuff for more money, but for me I see it as more respect to the movies to keep them separate. So you've got choices this way, and they can go more in depth into what the books are this way around.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

So that's what I'm excited for is that they have a bit more room, a bit more runtime in order to explore some of the side plots, the characters. In my opinion, they need to stay more faithful to the books.

SPEAKER_12 9:53

Yeah, there's more peeves, I hear. More peeves.

SPEAKER_02 9:55

Oh, what a relief because Peeves truly is the biggest gaping hole in the Harry Potter movie franchise.

SPEAKER_12 10:01

You might say it was Jimma's pet peeve. For me, the new Harry Potter TV show looks intriguing to me. I like that they're said in it in the 90s, like the books, and we'll go into more detail from the books. Yes, they've made some different casting style choices to what the books describe, but I will watch and see before I have an opinion either way on it. I hope the shows take your time to make sure the balance between staying true to the book but also and being brave enough to make some changes if it suits the story they wish to tell. The movies are always there if you prefer other interpretations of characters and story plots. I'm not saying change the main plot points, but there is some room for innovation. Tens of the Jimmer, are you ready to catch the night bus? It's gonna be a bumpy ride. Ladies and gentlemen, Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkabar.

SPEAKER_09 10:47

Nobody doesn't burn it, Mr Potter.

SPEAKER_12 10:52

Movie begins with the faint glow of a wand through a window. The unforgettable Harry Potter theme can be heard. This reminds me of the intro of Home Alone zooming out of the cartoon picture of a house. Which is funny as Home Alone was a Chris Columbus slash John Williams film. Although this is, of course, the first film in the Harry Potter movie series that is not directed by Columbus. The Warner Bros. logo, or the Warner Bros. logo, blinks in time with the one light. The Warner Bros. logo zooming out shot is way more iconic than I expected. Kind of like the 20th Century Fox to Star Wars or Columbia Pictures logo to the original Raimi Spider-Man movies. Bravo, Warner Bros. for making this an ongoing thing.

SPEAKER_02 11:38

Or how it changes every year, gets darker with the storyline. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 11:42

Changes colour, changes tone. It sets the tone in the movie, really. Truly. That's very cool.

SPEAKER_09 11:46

Lumos Maxima.

SPEAKER_12 11:48

The shot zooms into the window. We find Harry under his bed sheets, practicing magic. The Lumos Maxima spell to be precise. What a bright idea. Lumos Maxima. Harry scurries back into a sleeping position in bed. Uncle Vernon comes barging into the room and turns the light on. This is where we get our first shot of Hedwig for the movie. Vernon has a quick look around, yawns, then switches the light off and leaves the room, closing the door behind. Harry gets back into spell casting position in bed. Lumos Maxima. Harry is reading from a spell book, The Page Extreme Incantations. Lumos Maxima. The room is filled with a bright white light. The shot zooms out of the window to reveal the movie's title, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Ascoban. The shot then zooms back into Harry's room. Harry again pretends to sleep as Uncle Vernon enters the room. Uncle Vernon leaves the room once more. Harry smiles, knowing he got away with it. Before reading the books or watching the films, did any of you think that Harry might be going to prison in this one?

SPEAKER_02 12:56

Interesting. No, no, I never clocked that. I think when the Prisoner of Azcapan released was about when I had just started reading the books. So I wasn't anticipating this one. It was Goblet of Fire, it was the first one I was waiting for.

SPEAKER_12 13:09

I would agree. Yeah. Goblet of Fire sounds like a metal band.

SPEAKER_02 13:12

That would make a great metal band.

SPEAKER_12 13:13

Like a Harry Potter tribute band. Like the Ned Flanders band. Have you seen the Flanders bands?

SPEAKER_09 13:17

Oh yeah, so good.

SPEAKER_02 13:18

But there's a whole genre of rock, W-R-O-C-K, Wizard Rock.

SPEAKER_12 13:22

They've got their song in Goblet of Fire, which we'll get to in the next one as well.

SPEAKER_02 13:25

Do the hippogriff.

SPEAKER_12 13:27

More to come and Goblet of Fire podcast for that one. The doorbell goes off at the Dursley's front door.

SPEAKER_02 13:33

Harry! Harry! Harry, open the door.

SPEAKER_12 13:36

Harry opens the front door. A woman walks in with Uncle Vernon and a small dog from the rain outside. Mahaj, how lovely to see you.

SPEAKER_09 13:44

That was great.

SPEAKER_12 13:45

The dog jumps up at Un Petunia, which scares her a little.

SPEAKER_09 13:49

Uncle Vernon, I need you to sign this form. What is it? Piece of paper with words on it that requires a signature. But that's not important right now.

SPEAKER_02 13:58

Imagine.

SPEAKER_09 13:59

That's very much like a naked gun kind of joke. That went over my head.

SPEAKER_02 14:03

That's very Harry on Felix Felicis.

SPEAKER_09 14:06

Nothing. School stuff. Later, perhaps, if you behave. I will if she does.

SPEAKER_12 14:10

Aunt Marge, the woman who came in before, gives Harry a disgusted look.

SPEAKER_02 14:15

Oh, you're still here, are ya?

SPEAKER_12 14:16

Harry looks puzzled, as it's plainly obvious he is, in fact, still there.

SPEAKER_05 14:21

Yes.

SPEAKER_12 14:22

Don't say yes in that ungrateful way. Marge hands the dog's leash to Aunt Petunia.

SPEAKER_18 14:27

Damn good of my brother to keep you. He'd be straight to an orphanage if he'd been dumped on my doorstep, Vernon.

SPEAKER_12 14:32

That actually sounds like an improvement. Aunt Marge's face lights up when she sees Dudley.

SPEAKER_18 14:37

Is that my Dudders? Is that my little nephew poo?

SPEAKER_12 14:41

You'll notice Dudley has no lines in this. As he should. Yeah, doesn't say a word in Prisoner of Escobar. Aunt Marge hugs and kisses Dudley, who is eating on the couch or sofa. Uncle Vernon talks to Harry.

SPEAKER_04 14:52

Take Marge's suitcase upstairs. Okay. Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_12 14:56

This is before Daniel Radcliffe figured out emotional or subtle acting, so you'll notice that when he cries and stuff later on, he's not crying, he's just he's not quite there yet, but he's getting better. Cut to the Dursley's having dinner with Aunt Marge. There's an open door behind where Aunt Marge is sitting. Aunt Marge puts her finished plate down on the floor for her little bulldog to lick. Vernon pours out some alcohol. Looks to be a bottle of cherry cherry baby. Oh wait, no, it's brandy. Cannot tempt you, Marge. Just a small one. Excellent nosh petunia. Harry is gathering up the dirty dishes from a table. Uncle Vernon pours a small glass of brandy for Aunt Marge. A bit more.

SPEAKER_17 15:35

Usually just fry up for me. What with twelve dogs? I'm going for drunk Marge.

SPEAKER_12 15:41

Drunk Marge, love it. Uncle Vernon pours some more brandy into the glass.

SPEAKER_17 15:45

Just a bit more, that's a boy.

SPEAKER_12 15:47

Marge puts the brandy glass down to her bulldog to see if it wants a little drop. Gross. Harry looks on at Aunt Marge feeding a dog brandy. Aunt Marge then notices Harry looking on.

SPEAKER_17 15:57

What are you smirking at?

SPEAKER_12 15:59

Harry says nothing and carries on gathering up the leftovers.

SPEAKER_17 16:03

Where'd you send the boy, Vernon?

SPEAKER_09 16:05

St. Brutus's. It's a fine institution for hopeless cases.

SPEAKER_17 16:09

Do they use a cane that's in Brutuses' boy? Brutus.

SPEAKER_12 16:17

You've got lots of experience at being drunk, it sounds like. Harry looks at Uncle Vernon, who nods in a yes motion. Harry smiles.

SPEAKER_09 16:26

Oh yeah, yeah, I've been beaten loads of times. This one time at Bang Camp.

SPEAKER_12 16:32

Harry turns around smiling.

SPEAKER_17 16:34

Excellent. I won't have this Nambi Pambi washy washy nonsense about not beating people who deserve it.

SPEAKER_02 16:42

You mustn't blame yourself about how this one turned out, Vernon. It's all to do with blood. Bad blood will out.

SPEAKER_12 16:49

Harry stops smiling.

SPEAKER_02 16:51

What is it the boy's father did, Petunia? He was the director of the movie Morbius. And a drunk too, no doubt.

SPEAKER_12 16:59

That's a lie. Yeah, I wouldn't want to be the director of Morbius either. What did you say? Harry turns and faces Aunt Marge. My dad wasn't a drunk. Oh, so he did direct Morbius then. Harry uses mind magic, or the force, to break Aunt Marge's glass in her hand. The room panics for a moment before Aunt Marge laughs it off.

SPEAKER_02 17:20

Don't worry, don't fuss, Patunia. I have a very firm grip. Uncle Vernon looks at Harry.

SPEAKER_12 17:26

I think it's time you went to bed. Quiet Vernon, you Aunt Marge clicks her fingers at Harry. Clean it up. Harry comes walking into the dining room with a towel to clean up the shattered glass.

SPEAKER_02 17:37

Actually, it's nothing to do with the father. It's all to do with the mother. You see it all the time with dogs.

SPEAKER_12 17:44

If there's something wrong with the bitch, then there's something wrong with the pop. Harry throws down the towel with the broken glass. Muzzle toff. Shut up! Shut up! The room lights start flickering, and the room itself begins to shake. Right, let me tell you. As Aunt Marge wags her finger at Harry, it starts to inflate and becomes a very fat finger. Aunt Marge's face then starts to inflate too. Then the rest of Aunt Marge's body starts inflating while still in the chair. Uncle Vernon starts wincing, seeing his sister become a human balloon. Vernon! Vernon, do something! The bulldog starts to bite Uncle Vernon's trousers for some reason. Aunt Marge's clothes tear and her jewellery starts to pop off. Dudley gets a flying button to the head and sells it like a chokeslam through a table. Aunt Marge hangs onto the tablecloth as she starts to float in the air. Dudley gets a second button to the head. Aunt Marge bounces off the ceiling, then flips and bounces out the open door. Uncle Vernon grabs onto Aunt Marge's hands while the dog is still biting Uncle Vernon's trouser leg. Aunt Marge, Uncle Vernon, and the dog Ripper are lifted up into the air. Uncle Vernon starts thinking about letting go. Sorry.

SPEAKER_09 18:59

Sorry. Then he like drops down. Sorry.

SPEAKER_12 19:02

Uncle Vernon lets go of Aunt Marge's hands. Uncle Vernon and Ripper fall to the ground, while Aunt Marge floats further and further into the air. Aunt Petunia comes running to the fallen Uncle Vernon. They both look up and watch Aunt Marge float away. Harry runs upstairs to his room. Harry kicks his desk. The desk always wins that battle, Harry. Harry tries to calm himself while looking at a picture of his dead parents. Cut to Harry dragging a large suitcase down the stairs. Uncle Vernon yells at Harry at the bottom of the stairs.

SPEAKER_04 19:31

You bring her back, you bring her back now, you put her right.

SPEAKER_12 19:34

No, she deserved what she got. Uncle Vernon looks to shove Harry back, but Harry whips out his wand and points it at the now snivelling Uncle Vernon.

SPEAKER_04 19:43

Keep away from me. You can't do magic outside school.

SPEAKER_12 19:47

Hang on, how does Vernon know Harry can't do magic outside school?

SPEAKER_02 19:50

So in the Chamber of Secrets in the book, there was a letter that came from the Ministry of Magic, I'm pretty sure, after they detected magic in the household and they knew that Harry was there in underage, but of course it was Dobby performing the magic. So I think that's how Uncle Vernon came to know.

SPEAKER_09 20:05

It's not addressed in the movies.

SPEAKER_02 20:06

No.

SPEAKER_12 20:07

Well, actually, in the movies it could have been because McGonagall says they she's sending a letter home to your parents about the car. Oh, true. So maybe they got the letter and saying how he got spotted and he wasn't allowed to do magic outside of school.

SPEAKER_09 20:19

Yeah, that's a good point, actually.

SPEAKER_12 20:21

But yeah, I noticed that and I was like, how did he know?

SPEAKER_02 20:23

That is a wee plot hole, actually, for the non-book readers. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 20:27

Yeah, try me. They won't let you back now. You have nowhere to go. I don't care. Anyways better than here.

SPEAKER_12 20:33

Cuts are Harry walking on the road outside the Dursleys. You can see Aunt Marge still floating around. It cuts to later in the night. Harry is still storming around the streets of Surrey with his suitcase. Harry comes to a playground. Is this the same playground we see in later in Order of the Phoenix? I'd wait.

SPEAKER_09 20:51

I think so, yeah. This scene terrified me as a kid when the groom comes out from the bush.

SPEAKER_02 20:56

Spoilers.

SPEAKER_12 20:57

This movie is a horror.

SPEAKER_09 20:59

It really is.

SPEAKER_12 21:00

Sometimes in this you'll notice they'll say, is this still a kid's movie? It becomes very much horror.

SPEAKER_09 21:04

This is like really when the tone shifted massively.

SPEAKER_12 21:07

Yeah, it became a lot more mature. Yeah. Harry rests a suitcase on the curb next to the plain ground footpath. A street lamp above Harry's head starts to flicker. For no mere mortal can resist the evil of the thriller. The street lamp goes out. A breeze starts to chill the air. The swings and mirago round behind Harry start to move. This feels like something straight out of a horror movie. The seesaw starts moving too. Harry is concerned. There's a crunching sound from the bushes directly over the road from Harry. A black wolf emerges. The wolf starts to howl. Harry pulls out his wand in preparation of an attack. Harry falls back onto the path. A pair of headlights then illuminate Harry. A blue double decker bus comes quickly towards Harry before stopping. A double decker bus, sorry, its bummer returns. I'm sorry, I had to find a second form of transportation. A double decker bus? A man is on the back of The bus. He reads a wee note. Welcome to the night bus. Emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. My name is Stan Shunpike, and I'll be your conductor for the evening. Stan puts the note away in his jacket pocket. Stan looks around but doesn't see anyone. Then he looks down at Harry on the ground. Whatcha doing down there?

SPEAKER_09 22:20

Bike messenger knocked me down. First one. I fell over.

SPEAKER_12 22:25

What you fell over for?

SPEAKER_09 22:26

I didn't do it on purpose.

SPEAKER_12 22:28

Well, come on then. Let's not wait for the grass to grow. Harry takes a peek at the bushes again. No wolf in sight now. Stan pokes around the corner. Whatcha looking at? Nothing. Harry gets on board the night bus. Stan struggles with Harry's suitcase. Harry enters the night bus where he sees people sleeping in full single beds on the bus. The sound of snoring from all around. Harry spots a large chandelier coming down from the top of the bus. Come on, move on, move on. Stan hands Harry a paper ticket. Stan then taps on the glass to the driver's area. A shrunken head hanging from the front window comes to life. Take her away, Ernie! Yeah, take it away, Ernie. Ernie, an old man with large thick glasses, wakes up, has a bite of a sandwich, then starts the night bus engine. It's gonna be a bumpy ride! The night bus takes off like a rocket. Harry is thrown back onto the bed behind him. The other passengers don't seem to be bothered. What did you say your name was? I didn't. Well, whereabouts you headed? The leaky cauldron, that's in London. You hear that, Erin? The leaky cauldron, that's in London.

SPEAKER_17 23:33

The leaky cauldron. If you have pea soup, make sure you eat it before it eats you.

SPEAKER_12 23:40

The night bus is blasting. So I started blasting through traffic, weaving in and out of traffic. The muggles, can't they see us? Muggles?

SPEAKER_17 23:48

They don't see nothing, do they? Nope, if you jab 'em with the fork they feel.

SPEAKER_12 23:56

The bus turns a corner. Ernie, little old lady at twelve o'clock. The bus comes to a complete and an immediate stop. Harry's face gets mushed into a bus window. The old lady slowly walks across the road. The shrunken head starts counting down from ten. At the count of one, once the old lady is clear, the night bus blasts off again. Harry, while being thrown around by the speed of the night bus, catches Stan reading the newspaper. The front of the newspaper has a man shouting on it with a prisoner number in his hands. Article header reads Escape from Azkaban. Who is that? That man. Stan turns to the front page and looks. Who is that? Who is that serious black that is? Don't tell me you never heard of serious black. Stan leans into Harry. He's a murderer. Got himself locked up in Azcoban for it. How did he escape? Well, that's the question, isn't it? He's the first one that done it. He was a big supporter of You Know Who. I reckon you've heard of him. Yeah, him I've heard of. The night bus continues its fast journey across London.

SPEAKER_03 25:02

Ernie, two double deckers at twelve o'clock. They're getting closer, Ernie.

SPEAKER_12 25:06

Ernie, they're right on top of us. Ernie pulls a lever which condenses the bus like an accordion to a very narrow, almost two-dimensional size. The people on the bus, including Harry, are also condensed down.

SPEAKER_18 25:18

Mind your head.

SPEAKER_12 25:20

Harry watches on as the bus slow-mo shots through the two double decker buses.

SPEAKER_03 25:24

Hey guys! Guys, why the long faces?

SPEAKER_12 25:30

Haha got him. The bus gets past the two buses, then rapidly expands back out and blasts off once again. Yeah, yeah, nearly there, nearly there. Ernie pulls a lever. Or a lever. Harry gets smacked into the bus window again. Might be the same shot as before. I'm pretty sure it's the exact same shot. The bus stops hard, but still manages to ding a nearby car and set off the car's alarm. The leaky cauldron! Next up, nocturnale. A bald hunchback of a man comes onto the bus.

SPEAKER_06 25:58

Ah, Mr. Potter, at last.

SPEAKER_12 26:01

Harry looks up at the swinging leaky cauldron sign outside as the night bus takes off. Harry enters a leaky cauldron. The hunchback turns off the car alarm with a remote. So it was his car, the bus dinged.

SPEAKER_02 26:14

It must have been his wand. Because it's the 90s. Mmm. I don't know if they had remotes.

SPEAKER_12 26:19

Oh, I think they did. They still had car alarm remotes, surely. Is this actually based in the 90s? I always thought it was based in 2004. That's a good thing. It's meant to be the 90s. Yeah, it should be. I always assumed it was just the current day because it's not that far off in the 90s, I guess.

SPEAKER_02 26:30

Also don't really know what vehicles were like because, you know, I was a baby.

SPEAKER_12 26:34

Electric windows are a big thing in the 90s when I was like, whoa, you got electric windows, you're rich. Sick. Harry enters the tavern. There are so a few people in there. One guy is magically stirring a drink while reading a brief history of time by Stephen Hawkin. Tom the hunchback leads Harry to the stairs to show him his room. When Tom opens the door to Harry's room, there is someone waiting for Harry inside. I realise it's not his room, it's actually an office, but at first I thought it was his room. Hedwick. Right, smart bird you got there, Mr. Potter. He arrived here just five minutes before yourself. Yeah, I doubt JB and Garfunker would do that for me. There was also someone else in the room waiting for Harry. A man looking out a window at the end of the room. The man clears his throat.

SPEAKER_07 27:18

As Minister for Magic, it is my duty to inform you, Mr. Potter, that earlier this evening your uncle's sister was located a little south of Sheffield, circling a chimney stack.

SPEAKER_12 27:30

Tom sits Harry down in the chair. Tom offers Harry some food, but Harry declines. As we know from Order of the Phoenix, you're not you when you're hangry. Snickers.

SPEAKER_06 27:40

The accidental magic reversal department was dispatched immediately. What a mouthful.

SPEAKER_07 27:46

Why not just the AMRD? She has been properly punctured and her memory modified. She will have no recollection of the incident whatsoever. So that's that.

SPEAKER_12 27:56

Minister Fudge smiles walking towards Harry. And no harm done. A very different reaction to what will happen in just a couple of years. Pea soup?

SPEAKER_09 28:06

Uh no thank you. Um minister. Yes? I don't understand. Understand? I broke the law. Underage wizards aren't allowed to use magic at home. Oh come now, Harry. The ministry doesn't send people to Askaban for blowing up their aunts.

SPEAKER_12 28:20

Not yet, but give it time. Tom the hunchbank donkey laughs.

SPEAKER_09 28:27

That was so good.

SPEAKER_03 28:28

Wow.

SPEAKER_09 28:29

On the other hand, running away like that, given the state of things, was very, very irresponsible. With great power comes great irresponsibility, Harry. The state of things. We have a killer on the loose. Sirius Black, you mean. But what's that got to do with me?

SPEAKER_12 28:45

The books are called Harry Potter? So everything to do with you. Fudge gives a very obvious lying face.

SPEAKER_09 28:52

Own nothing, of course. You're safe, and that's what matters. And tomorrow you'll be on your way back to Hogwarts.

SPEAKER_12 29:00

Back to Formula? No, back to Hogwarts. Oh ah, these are your school books. There better be some goosebumps and animorphs in there. I took the liberty of having them brought here.

SPEAKER_09 29:13

Now Tom will show you to your room.

SPEAKER_12 29:15

Tom aggressively shoves and pulls Harry towards the door. Harry calls Hedwig, who flies over.

SPEAKER_09 29:20

Oh, by the way, Harry, whilst you're here, it would be best if you didn't wander.

SPEAKER_12 29:25

Otherwise, Harry might get wondervision.

SPEAKER_02 29:28

Oh, the Marvel thing.

SPEAKER_12 29:31

Cut to morning. Harry is looking outside the window of his room when a train goes by. There are some real nice shots in this film where Rudy likes seeing him zoom out from the train to his rooms. Like some gorgeous shots in this. Harry spots a fairy book that is moving. It has a live about book latch around it. The book title: The Monster Book of Monsters. Harry unbuckles the latch, because of course you do. The book has little spider eyes and teeth on the side. The book opens up and tries to bite Harry. I like how the book is shredding its own pages as it chomps.

SPEAKER_02 30:02

You wanted to learn about blast standard scroots? Not on my watch!

SPEAKER_12 30:06

Harry drops the book on the ground. The book then starts to charge at Harry. Harry gets on the bed to avoid the book below. Imagine if this was how Harry died. The boy who was eaten by a book. The book goes under the bed. Harry, being the clueless one, at least in this moment, thinks it's a great idea to put his head down to see where the book is under the bed. The book snarls for a moment before charging at Harry's face. Harry pulls his head up. The book comes out, but can't see anyone. So it goes back under the bed. Harry then takes his shoe off and drops it to the ground. When the book comes charging out, Harry jumps on it. Cut to a housekeeper going door to door. They knock and open the door, only to get a large noise greet them in a strange light and wind. The door then closes in their face.

SPEAKER_02 30:54

I'll come back later.

SPEAKER_12 30:56

Harry then comes out of his room from another door. Harry sees a ginger cat chasing a rat before walking into the tavern. I'm warning you, Hermione, keep that buddy beast away from scabbers, or I'll turn him into a tea cozy. It's a cat, Ronald. What do you expect? It's in his nature. Harry smiles and starts to walk down the stairs. A cat? Is that what they told you? Looks more like a pig of hair, if you ask me.

SPEAKER_02 31:21

That's rich coming from the owner of that smelly old shoe brush. That's right, Cookshanks. Just ignore the mean little boy.

SPEAKER_12 31:28

Harry arrives at the bottom of the stairs.

SPEAKER_02 31:30

Harry! Harry!

SPEAKER_12 31:33

Harry! That's great, it's perfect. Cut to a moving photo of the Weasley's recent trip to Egypt. Harry and Ron are looking at it while sitting at a dining table. Egypt? What's it like? Brilliant! Loads of old stuff like mummies, tombs. Even Scabbers enjoyed himself. I don't think Scabbers has been mentioned this much in any other film before this. Hmm. Wonder why.

SPEAKER_02 31:56

Just embarrassment that Sunshine Daisy's buttermellow didn't turn that fat rat yellow.

SPEAKER_12 32:01

Chapter of Secrets drink.

SPEAKER_02 32:03

You know the Egyptians used to worship cats.

SPEAKER_12 32:06

Hermione is also at the table. Yeah, along with the Dun Beetle. Does anyone want to be Percy? Tense it's your chance to be Percy if you want to be.

SPEAKER_09 32:13

I can't really remember what Percy sounds like.

SPEAKER_02 32:15

As uptight as possible. Like imagine you got a giant wad of sticks on your ass.

SPEAKER_12 32:19

Uh-uh. Not flashing that clipping again, are you rum? Shut up, Percy. No one likes you. I haven't shown anyone. No, not a soul, unless you can't come.

SPEAKER_06 32:30

The day maid. The nightmaid. The bloke who came and fixed the toilet.

SPEAKER_02 32:35

Harry. Sounds like she was terrified.

SPEAKER_06 32:38

Mrs.

SPEAKER_08 32:39

Weasley.

SPEAKER_02 32:39

Good to see you, dear.

SPEAKER_08 32:41

Good to see you.

SPEAKER_02 32:42

Now, have you gotten everything you need?

SPEAKER_08 32:45

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 32:45

Yes? All your books?

SPEAKER_09 32:47

Yeah, it's all upstairs.

SPEAKER_03 32:48

Your clothes.

SPEAKER_09 32:49

Everything's there.

SPEAKER_12 32:50

Good boy.

SPEAKER_08 32:51

Thank you.

SPEAKER_12 32:51

Harry Potter. Mr.

SPEAKER_08 32:53

Weasley.

SPEAKER_12 32:53

Mrs. Weasley walks off. Harry, I wonder I might have a word.

SPEAKER_08 32:57

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_12 32:58

Mr. Weasley takes Harry over to a quieter part of a tavern, right behind a serious black mug shop poster. I should say that I have one of these posters on my bathroom door. You do? Looking forward to a new term? Yeah, should be great. Harry, there's some within the ministry who strongly discouraged me from divulging what I'm about to reveal to you. Arthur makes sure people nearby don't hear. But I think you need to know the facts. Arthur leads Harry closer to the seriously disturbed mugshop poster. Tickle Miamo was the biggest Christmas toy of 1996. Everyone had to have one. It was total chaos, Harry. Also, you're in danger. Grave danger. Has this anything to do with Sirius Black sir? Arthur looks around. Dramatic music kicks in. What do you know of Sirius Black Harry?

SPEAKER_08 33:46

Only that he's escaped from Azkaban.

SPEAKER_12 33:49

And do you know why? Harry shakes his head. Thirty years ago, when you stopped Voldemort. Don't say his name. Lucky he didn't say Joe Hendry. Wrestling fans will get that. Sorry. When you stopped you know who, Black lost everything. Arthur leads Harry to another part of the tavern where there is another serious black poster. It's like, gotta get that advertising and I'm gonna make sure we get that poster in every shot, guys. But to this day, he still remains a faithful servant. And in his mind, you are the only one that stands in the way of you know who, returning to power. Arthur leads Harry again to another part of the tavern. And that is why he escaped from Ascobarn to find you.

SPEAKER_08 34:27

And kill me.

SPEAKER_12 34:28

Harry, swear to me that whatever you might hear, you won't go looking for Black.

SPEAKER_08 34:32

Mr. Weasley, why would I go looking for someone who wants to kill me?

SPEAKER_12 34:36

It's true.

SPEAKER_02 34:36

We've all been depressed, Harry.

SPEAKER_12 34:39

Cut to Mrs. Weasley carrying scabbers, running to the Hogwarts Express on platform nine and three quarters.

SPEAKER_02 34:46

Ron!

SPEAKER_12 34:47

Ron! Ron is in the window of the train. Mrs. Weasley hands scabbers to Ron.

SPEAKER_02 34:52

Oh, for goodness sake! Don't lose him!

SPEAKER_12 34:55

The train starts moving as kids wave out the window. Kind of reminds me of Titanic at the start with the waving off at the Tragic. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are walking through the train corridor looking for a spare train booth. I didn't mean to blow her up.

SPEAKER_02 35:09

I just lost control. Brilliant! Honestly, Ron, it's not funny. Harry was lucky not to be expelled.

SPEAKER_12 35:16

I was lucky not to be arrested, actually.

SPEAKER_02 35:18

I still think it was brilliant.

SPEAKER_12 35:20

The trio come to a booth that had one lonely sleeping man in it.

SPEAKER_02 35:24

Come on, everywhere else is full.

SPEAKER_12 35:26

They enter the booth and sit down. Who do you think that is?

SPEAKER_02 35:29

Professor R. J. Lupin. He was also Ares in the Wonder Woman movie.

SPEAKER_12 35:33

Spoilers! Do you know everything? How is it she knows everything?

SPEAKER_02 35:37

It's on his suitcase, Ronald. Oh.

SPEAKER_08 35:40

Do you think he's really asleep?

SPEAKER_02 35:42

Seems to be.

SPEAKER_12 35:42

Why? Harry closes the booth's slide door.

SPEAKER_08 35:45

I've got to tell you something.

SPEAKER_12 35:46

Cut to a bit later. It's now dark, foggy, and rainy. Very much Van Helsing like vibes here. The Hogwarts Express is still chugging along. It cuts back into the train booth where Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Lupin are. Let me get this straight. Tickle Mielma was the hottest toy of Christmas 1996. And Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban to come after you?

SPEAKER_10 36:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 36:08

But they'll catch Black, won't they? I mean, everybody's looking for him. Sure? Except no one's ever broken out of Azkabam, and he's a murderous raving lunatic. Thanks, Ron. The train hits the emergency brakes. Why are we stopping?

SPEAKER_09 36:23

Because the brakes have been activated, therefore forcing the train to slow down and eventually stop. But that's not important right now.

SPEAKER_03 36:30

We can't be there yet.

SPEAKER_12 36:31

Harry opens up the booth slide door and pokes his head out. Kids in the other booths behind Harry do the same. There's then a violent shake of the train. What's going on?

SPEAKER_08 36:41

Dunno, maybe we've broken down.

SPEAKER_12 36:43

A magic train has broken down, Harry? I mean, seriously. The lights then go out. Reminds me of Titanic when the power starts to flicker.

SPEAKER_02 36:52

Ouch, Ron! That was my foot.

SPEAKER_12 36:54

Ron is distracted by something outside. He puts his palm to the window again. Again. Like Titanic. And is watching outside with a worried look. There's something moving out there. Spooky. The music is a sharp violin type score. Reminds me of the go old theme from Stargate. Very eerie. That kind of music.

SPEAKER_02 37:16

Wait, what kind? Yeah, no, I don't know if I got it.

SPEAKER_12 37:23

I think someone's coming on board. There is another violent shake of the train. The sliding door to the booth opens a little to show you that it's not locked. The window next to Ron starts to freeze over around his hand. Again, like Titanic. The water in a glass bottle next to the window also freezes over. You can see their breath due to the cold. Anyone want to say it? Just like in Titanic. Another shake rattles the train. The whole train booth has frozen up.

SPEAKER_16 37:52

Bloody how? What's happening?

SPEAKER_12 37:54

The silhouette of a large hooded figure appears on the other side of the train booth door. Just like no, not Titanic. Just like the frighteners. There is no music, only the sound of the wind. This is still based on a children's book, right? You see the shape of the long, slender fingers reach for the train booth door. But the figure uses finger magic or the force to slowly open the slide door. Finger magic's made a comeback from Philosopher's Stone, as you remember. There was plenty of finger magic in that. But the slender, cold, malice hand then grasps onto the side of the slide door. Harry is terrified. The hooded ghost-like reaper figure then enters the booth. Everyone is terrified, including Crookshanks and Scabbers. The hooded Reaper scans the room while this low moaning groan comes from it. Almost like when Dory speaks wail. The hooded figure starts sucking Harry's essence. Harry starts falling into a drugged-like state. Lupin opens his eyes. Lupin charges to his feet. Wand out, a bright light emerges from his wand, which sends the reaper fleeing. He uses magic without saying the actual charm as well. He never says Expecto Patronum. Very good. Very good. The shot then zooms into Harry's eye. A screaming, whistling sound can be heard saying, Harry.

SPEAKER_09 39:24

That's meant to be his mum, right? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 39:26

Yeah. Going into the night she died. Harry! The darkness starts to erode as Harry starts to regain consciousness.

SPEAKER_02 39:33

Harry, are you all right?

SPEAKER_12 39:35

Harry wakes up. They are still on the train in the booth. Harry gets his glasses handed to him.

SPEAKER_02 39:40

Yeah, eat this. It'll help. It's alright. It's chocolate.

SPEAKER_12 39:44

Lupin hands Harry a piece of chocolate. Hopefully not warehouse Waikedo chocolate. Gross. What was that thing that came?

SPEAKER_02 39:52

It was a Dementor, one of the guards of Azcaban. It's gone now. It was searching the train for Sirius Black. If you'll excuse me, I need to have a little word with the driver.

SPEAKER_12 40:01

Lupin gets up but leaves a bag of chocolate and walks away. Small note that is definitely vital to the story. The piece of chocolate Lupin gives Harry is very sharp on one end. I can see some potential mouth gums cutting from that. Lupin walks to the side door. Eat. You'll feel better. Lupin walks away. Harry carefully eats the sharp tip of the chocolate. What happened to me? Well, you sort of went rigid. We thought maybe you were having a fit or something.

SPEAKER_08 40:30

And did either of you two, you know, pass out?

SPEAKER_12 40:33

No. I felt weird though. Like I'd never be cheerful again. Like the audience in the Morbius Theatre. But someone was screaming. A woman.

SPEAKER_02 40:42

No one was screaming, Harry.

SPEAKER_12 40:44

Harry looks out the window to the pouring rain. It's a very uh interesting whole thing with the old booth. From beginning of the train sequence right to the end there. It's like it feels like a completely different movie. Happened again in the playground. It's happy go lucky Harry Potter, and then all of a sudden there's moments where this comes extremely dark. This one just felt like something kind of a horror. If I was watching like Red Eye or something like that, I kind of got that same kind of feeling, that same kind of dread. It's very interesting that they went with this. And I'm glad they did because back then it could have been like Batman and Batman Forever in Returns. How let's make this more kid friendly. Let's keep making this more kid friendly to make sure we market it for kids more. They didn't really do that so much in this. Yeah, it really works. The shot transitions from the reflection of Harry's face in the stormy window. There are two muddy carriages moving along towards the Honkwoods Castle. The carriages seem to be pulling themselves. Stay tuned for Order of the Phoenix to reveal why. Next time on, Harry Potter. Cut to everyone in the Great Hall. Professor Flipwick, now with a bowl cut haircut, is leading a wizard in which choir.

SPEAKER_02 41:47

I dare say that was one of the wildest changes.

SPEAKER_12 41:50

Bowl cut Flipwick?

SPEAKER_02 41:52

Like, did they de-age him and then decide to make him less cool?

SPEAKER_12 41:56

I think he just went and got hair plugs.

SPEAKER_02 41:58

Oh no, bro winter turkey.

SPEAKER_12 42:01

That was a wild change though. I thought, is that the same character?

SPEAKER_02 42:05

Yeah, I genuinely was like, who is this guy?

unknown 42:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 42:08

There are floating candles above. Some of the people have toads who are also singing. Well, ribbotine at least. The toads bob their heads like Kermit the Frog singing Rainbow Connection.

SPEAKER_11 42:20

Someday we'll find it. The Rainbow Connection. The lovers, the dreamers, and me. Oh, that was beautiful.

SPEAKER_12 42:31

That was great. The choir disperses and new Dumbledore, played by Michael Gambin, is revealed. I mentioned this in the Order of the Phoenix podcast, but in case you are listening to these in actual order, like some sort of freak, I will continue to voice Dumbledore as if he was Richard Harris from the previous two Harry Potters. I prefer that style as I find Gambin's version a little too gruff and dramatic for me. I much prefer the calming sense of Richard Harris.

SPEAKER_02 42:57

But how are you going to say, did you put your name in the gobble of fire?

SPEAKER_12 43:00

We'll find out. Maybe I'll be angry Richard Harris. No disrespect to Gambin though. He took the character and brought his own style rather than just try and copy Harris. It's very much just my opinion. So if you love Gambins more than Harris, you're not wrong. Gambin, this one, this I guess because it's the stories as well. He seems to be less caring of Harry. Which Dumbledore do you two prefer?

SPEAKER_09 43:22

I don't know. I like both of them, to be honest. I don't think I can pick a favourite of the two. I think I more remember Michael Gambin than Richard Harris. He played Dumbledore for a lot longer. But yeah, it's hard to pick.

SPEAKER_02 43:34

Richard Harris's Dumbledore is like what you want Dumbledore to be. And Michael Gambin's Dumbledore is the sociopath we all know him to be.

SPEAKER_12 43:41

True. He's more he's more human, I can make it. Yeah, less magical.

SPEAKER_02 43:45

More human. And I think also he brings a bit more vitality to Dumbledore. Like I couldn't have imagined Richard Harris getting through the films and having to, without spoiling anything, fight and be as active and really meet the demands of the Role because at first, you know, Dumbledore was written as an old wizened silver wizard, but in reality he did contain more multitudes. So I think if I had to pick, Gambin would be who I would go with, just because I think it suits the greater character arc a little bit better.

SPEAKER_13 44:16

Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. Now, I'd like to say a few words before we all become too befuddled by our excellent feast. First, I'm pleased to welcome Professor R. J. Lupin, who's kindly consented to fill the post of defense against the dark artist teacher. Good luck, Professor.

SPEAKER_12 44:38

The hall applauds as Lupin gets up and bows.

SPEAKER_02 44:41

Of course. That's why he knew to give you chocolate, Harry.

SPEAKER_12 44:44

Draco ps Potter over in Harry's direction.

SPEAKER_02 44:48

Is it true you fainted? I mean you actually fainted.

SPEAKER_12 44:52

Shove off, Malfoy. You shouldn't talk, Draco. Not with that new bowl cut. Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys look you got there. He does, he's got a bowl cut now.

SPEAKER_02 45:01

Okay, but it wasn't terrible.

SPEAKER_12 45:04

But it was like Nick Carter Backstreet Boy.

SPEAKER_02 45:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 45:06

Harry talks quietly towards Ron and Hermione.

SPEAKER_13 45:09

How did he find out?

SPEAKER_12 45:10

Just forget it. Our care of magical creatures teacher for many years has decided to retire in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs.

SPEAKER_13 45:20

Fortunately, I'm delighted to announce that his place will be taken by none other than our own, Rubius Hagrid.

SPEAKER_12 45:28

The hall applauds Hagrid. He's now Professor Hagrid. Professor McGonagall gives Hagrid an elbow shot to get him to stand up. So PAM, right in the gut. Acknowledge the applauding students. The table and floor move and shake a bit. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are extra excited.

SPEAKER_13 45:43

Finally, on a more disquieting note, at the request of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the Dementors of Azgaban.

SPEAKER_12 45:56

The students start to talk amongst one another. Dementors here at Hogwarts until such a time as Sirius Black is captured.

SPEAKER_13 46:05

The Dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds. Now whilst I have been assured that their presence won't disrupt our day to day activities, a word of caution. Dementors are vicious creatures. They do not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way.

SPEAKER_12 46:26

Therefore, I must warn each and every one of you to give them no reason to harm you. It is not in the nature of a Dementor to be forgiving. Harry looks worried. But you know happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. Whatever gladiator from Lord of the Rings, gosh. Dumbledore waves his hand over a candle flame.

unknown 46:52

Magic.

SPEAKER_12 46:53

Kato the students exiting the great hall. You see the moving staircases. The Gryffindor students go up to the lady in the painting who is now played by Dawn French. Fortuna Major. The lady in the painting just ignores the password and continues to sing in a high pitch and an attempt to break a wine glass in her hand with her voice. Here, listen, she won't let me in. Harry rocks up with Neville and Dean Thomas. Fortuna Major.

SPEAKER_03 47:19

No, no, no. Wait, wait, watch this.

SPEAKER_12 47:22

The lady in the painting tries to high pitch Sing Scream again to break the glass. This has Harry and the Gryffindors blocking their ears in pain. When she thinks they're not looking, she smashes the glass against a nearby wall.

SPEAKER_03 47:34

Amazing!

SPEAKER_02 47:35

Just with my voice.

SPEAKER_12 47:37

Fortuna Major.

SPEAKER_02 47:38

Well yes, alright. Go in.

SPEAKER_12 47:40

The Gryffindors enter the common room. Harry and Seamus talk about how she is still doing that after three years. The life of painting would get boring, even though you can leave and go to other paintings. I wonder why the lady stays. I would travel the world in different paintings. Dean Thomas walks through a ghost. Gross. But at least he didn't get slimed like Vinkman and Ghostbusters. Cut to Harry, Ron, and the boys messing around in their beds around bedtime. They're eating toffies, which gives them the ability to make animal sounds. Seamus starts to make monkey sounds. Hey, Neville, try an elephant. Harry throws Neville a toffee. Neville starts chewing, then starts making elephant noises. I can't do an elephant. That's the best I could do. Ron, catch. I will. Ron chews, then starts making lion sound. I'm gonna be a mighty king. So you must be aware. It's nice to see Harry just hanging out and having fun, especially in the film's adaptations. It's not often that Harry is showing to just be a kid doing kid things. Oh, don't try one of them. Oh no! Harry eats a toffee. Steam starts to come out of his ears as a train sound whistles comes out. Harry, the tank engine.

SPEAKER_02 48:52

Look at him! His face! Isn't there an engine called Harry?

SPEAKER_12 48:56

Is James? There's Percy? Is Gordon?

SPEAKER_02 48:59

Feels like there should be one called Harry, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_12 49:01

There should be a Harry. Very British name. As the boys fall around outside in the stormy castle grounds, the mentors are lurking around. There are so many of them.

SPEAKER_09 49:10

I love this shot, eh? It's so good. So good. Probably my favourite shot in the movie.

SPEAKER_12 49:14

I like the contrast of they're having fun inside, it's light and happy, but outside it's all very, very dark. Cut to morning. A little bird is flying around the castle grounds. You get your first look at the courtyard and the new bridge archway, as well as the new Scottish Hells version of Hogwarts. When I first watched Prisoner of Ascoban, I wasn't a fan of all the changes. The uniforms looked more typical school and less magical school looking. Hogwarts was completely different looking as well. Earthier and just a different landscape entirely. It took me a while to adjust, but eventually I learned to really like the changes to Hogwarts. It really does help the story as you go along, but at first it's like, whoa, everything's so hilly. What do you guys think about the changes?

SPEAKER_02 49:54

I think just the hilliness of it is what got me. It just felt so vertical in all the steers.

SPEAKER_09 49:59

I think as a kid it didn't really bother me too much. I still kind of got the vibe of Hogwarts. Personally, it didn't really I mean, yeah, the changes were a bit unusual, but it didn't really bother me.

SPEAKER_12 50:10

A little bird flies down towards Hagrid's hut, singing and chirping as it goes, until it is snapped up by the womping willow. Our old friend from the Chamber of Secrets. Drink! Cut to Divination Classroom at the top of the North Tower of Hogwarts. You need to go through a trapdoor to get there. We get our first look at Emma Thompson as Professor Sybil Trelawney. Welcome, my children. In this room you shall explore the noble art of divination.

SPEAKER_16 50:36

In this room you shall discover if you possess the sight. And whoever should hold his hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.

SPEAKER_12 50:43

Trelawney knocks the table in front of her as she gets up, which makes the children giggle.

SPEAKER_16 50:50

Hello, I am Professor Trelawney. Together we shall cast ourselves into the future. This term will focus on Tessamancy, the art of reading tea leaves. So please take your cups. Take the cup of the person sitting opposite you.

SPEAKER_12 51:04

Harry and Ron exchange tea cups, smirking as they do it. Trelawney is such an interesting character that doesn't get much to do in the films. With her big thick glasses, frizzy hair, and eccentric personality. Hope we'll see much more of her in the HBO TV series. Not sure he's playing her, right? I'm not sure the cast her yet, because she's like not in the first year.

SPEAKER_02 51:22

Yeah, still a wee while away.

SPEAKER_12 51:23

Maybe they'll get Emma Thompson back.

SPEAKER_02 51:24

That would be amazing.

SPEAKER_16 51:25

What do you see? The truth lies behind a sentence deep within a book. Waiting to be read. But first you must broaden your minds.

SPEAKER_12 51:34

Trelawney puts her hands on Seamus' head and starts shaking them. She's like, first you must look beyond.

SPEAKER_02 51:41

What a load of rubbish.

SPEAKER_12 51:42

Hermione has appeared in between Harry and Ron. Where did you come from?

SPEAKER_02 51:47

Me? I've been here this whole time.

SPEAKER_12 51:49

Weird, I swear she wasn't there before.

SPEAKER_02 51:51

Dun dun.

SPEAKER_12 51:52

Trelawney looks at Neville.

SPEAKER_16 51:54

You, boy. Is your grandmother quite well? I think so. I'm going to write a high-patch voice for Neville because I can't so I can distinguish him from everyone else.

SPEAKER_12 52:02

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Give me the cup. Dean Thomas gives Trelawney Neville's cup. Trelawney winces. Oh pity. Neville looks worried into his cup at Dean Thomas. Trelawney moves on. Broaden your minds. Trelawney spooks Ron. Oh Ron looks worried. Your aura is pulsing, dear.

SPEAKER_16 52:23

Are you in the beyond? I think you are. Sure. Look at the cup. Tell me what you see.

SPEAKER_12 52:30

Uh oh. Uh yeah. Um well Harry's got a sort of wonky cross that's trials and suffering. Yes. And that there could be the sun around and that's happiness. So uh you're gonna suffer, but you're gonna be happy about it. Give me the cup. Like as he says that cup. Trelawney glimpses the cup, then rocks back in fright. Harry is astonished. Oh my dear boy, my dear, you have the grim. The kids in the room gasp like they even know what that means. Could just be, you know, dental problems? Sorry, you got gingivitis. The grin. What's the grin? Not the grin, you idiot. The grim. Taking form of a giant spectral dog. Might be Clifford. A student named Boy One on the cast page reached from a book. It has his name, Boy One.

SPEAKER_02 53:27

It's among the darkest omens in our world. It's an omen of death.

SPEAKER_12 53:32

Harry looks deep into his teacup. Can't so Harry, Ron, and Hermione walking down some steep steps on the Hogwarts ground. Those steps are steep. Yeah. Those are gonna be ankle breakers in the wintertime. Fully. Scaligro. You don't think that grim things got anything to do with serious black, do you?

SPEAKER_02 53:53

Oh honestly, Ron, if you ask me, Divination's a very woolly discipline. Now, ancient runes. That's a fascinating subject.

SPEAKER_12 54:01

Ancient runes? Exactly how many classes are you taking this term? A fair few. Hang on. That's not possible. Ancient runes is in the same time as divination. How does Ron know that? That's pretty impressive for Ron. Go Ron. You'd have to be in two places at once. Wink at the camera. How indeed?

SPEAKER_02 54:18

Don't be silly, Ron. How could anyone be in two classes at once?

SPEAKER_12 54:23

At a magic school? Uh pretty easily.

SPEAKER_02 54:25

Broaden your minds. Use your inner eye to see the future.

SPEAKER_12 54:30

It's interesting how Hermione destructs definition as nonsense if she can't have it explained in a textbook. It does not exist. Me and Tens in the boat done it. Yeah. I love that Liberian. It does not exist. Cut to Hagrid with Harry's class in front of his hut. That's it. Come on now. Come closer. Let's less talking, if you don't mind. I got a real treat for ya today. A great lesson, so follow me. Hagrid leads the class into Fanghorn Forest. Not so deftly dangerous in the daytime, it seems. Right, you're lot less chattering. Form a group over there and open your books to page 49. The students each have one of these furry creature books that attacked Harry earlier at the leaky cauldron. And exactly how do we do that? Just stroke the spine, of course. Goodness me. Draco strokes the spine of the book while having his goofy cartoon bad guy face. Neville opens the book, but falls down as it tries to eat him.

SPEAKER_02 55:25

Oh book.

SPEAKER_12 55:26

Neville then gets overpowered by the book again.

SPEAKER_02 55:28

I think they're funny. Oh yeah. Terribly funny. Witty. God, what is this place? Come to the dogs? Wait till my father hears Dumbledore's got this oath teaching classes.

SPEAKER_12 55:40

Harry walks out in front of Ron and Hermione like a boss towards Draco.

SPEAKER_09 55:44

Shut up, Malfoy.

SPEAKER_12 55:46

Ooh. Draco hands his bag to Crab and walks towards Harry. The other students are crowded around. Draco starts to look scared behind Harry. Dementor! Dementor! Everyone including Harry, turn to look. Draco starts laughing. Draco, Crab, and Replacement Goyle then put their robe hoods up and make spooky fingers and sounds at Harry. They got replacement Goyle because it's not Goyle this time, is it? It's a different guy. He's not actually the same actor. I think it's a completely different character. They just couldn't get him for some reason. So it's got Crab, he's there still.

SPEAKER_02 56:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 56:17

But then some other random guy. That's called Replacement Goyle.

SPEAKER_02 56:20

Goyle the second.

SPEAKER_12 56:21

Hermione pulls Harry away. Ron talks to Neville. You're supposed to stroke it. Yeah. Neville's uniform is all ripped up. Hagrid coughs loudly to get the student's attention. Ta-ta-da! The students look at what Hagrid has revealed, but don't really know what it is. Isn't he beautiful? The animal is half eagle, half horse creature. Front half an eagle and the back half a horse. But all attitude and spunk.

SPEAKER_02 56:46

Hear me out.

SPEAKER_12 56:47

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 56:47

No, that's a joke. He's a hear me out. Have you guys seen the hear me out cakes online where people take characters and sometimes they're human, sometimes they're not from their childhood. It's like hear me out. What if?

SPEAKER_12 56:57

Yeah. Yeah. What if we got the back of a horse in the front of an eagle?

SPEAKER_02 57:00

Oh, it's more of a uh formative uh experiences with characters that you find attractive.

SPEAKER_12 57:06

Oh, that kind of artwork. Yeah. Say hello to Buckbeak. Hagrid throws Buckbeak a dead ferret to eat. Yum. Ron is astonished. Hagrid? Exactly what is that? That Ron is a hippogriff. First thing you want to know is that they're very proud creatures. Very easily offended. You do not want to insult a hippogriff. It may be the last thing you ever do. Now, who wants to come say hello? Everyone in the class, except Harry, takes a step back. Well done, Harry. Well done. Harry turns to see the class all further back. This made me laugh more than it probably should have. I really do like that, where he's like, what? Aw. Come on now. Ron gives Harry a little shove towards Hagrid and Buckbeak. Harry walks up towards Buckbeak. Now, you have to let him make the first move. It's only polite, so step up. Give him a nice bow. Then you wait and see if he bows back. If he does, you can go and touch him. If not, well uh we'll get to that later. Looking at you, Draco. Harry bows in Buckbeak's direction. Nice and low. Buckbeak is curious and lets out a wee squawk. Then flaps his wings in an aggressive manner.

SPEAKER_13 58:14

Back off, Harry. Back off.

SPEAKER_12 58:16

Harry backs away, but accidentally stands on a stick in the middle of the woods, who would have thought? Which makes a loud snapping sound. Keep still. Harry looks up from his bowing motion. Keep still. Buckbeak rests his wings and gives a friendly wee hippogriff chirp. Buckbeak then bows to Harry, with Hagrid in the middle between them. I love that shot. Harry's bowing, Buckbeak's bowing, and then Hagrid's just in the middle, like, yeah, a beautiful shot. Oh well done, Harry. Well done. Here, you big brute. Hagrid chucks another dead ferret to Buckbeak. Harry is relieved. Right, I think you can go and pat him now. Harry looks terrified towards Hagrid. Go on, don't be shy. A student gets shoved out of the way in the crowd of students by Draco, who is eating an apple. Harry cautiously approaches Buckbeak. Nice and slow. Harry sticks his hand out as he slowly walks closer and closer. Harry gets a bit too quick, so Buckbeak snacks back a little bit. Hermione grips Ron's wrist in fear. Harry slowly walks towards Buckbeak. Buckbeak walks towards Harry. They make out.

SPEAKER_17 59:21

Hear me out.

SPEAKER_12 59:24

Harry pats Buckbeak on the face. Hagrid applauds, as do the students. Well done, Harry. Well done. I think he might let you roll him now. What? Come on! Hagrid picks up Harry and places him on Buckbeak's back. So that ten times fast. Buckbeak's back. Buckbeak's back. Buckbeak's back.

SPEAKER_02 59:42

Buckbeak's back. Bat bit bit.

SPEAKER_12 59:43

I got my buckbeaks back. Betty Bupple bought some butter. Don't pull out any of his feathers, because he won't thank you for that. Hagrid slaps Buckbeak on the bum to get him moving. Buckbeak's bum. Hagrid is such a loose cannon as a teacher. Buckbeak's back bum, buckbeaks, back bum. It's like a beat, isn't it? Buckbeak rears up before sprinting off. Buckbeak then extends his wings and takes off into the air. Whoa! Buckbeak flies towards Hogwarts Castle. For me, this is an iconic Harry Potter moment. Reminds me a little of Superman and Lois' first flight together in Superman from the 1978 movie Superman, which was also composed by John Williams. Buckbeak then glides over the water. Harry can see the reflection in the water and starts to go from nervous to excited. Buckbeak dipping his talon in the water as they glide is a very nice touch. I love that. Just skims the water. Yeah, it's so cool. Harry then stretches his arms out to feel like he's flying. Just like anyone?

SPEAKER_18 1:00:39

The Titanic.

SPEAKER_12 1:00:40

Just like Titanic. I'm the king of the world. Buckbeak still looks incredible. CGI was. Yeah, I'd agree. We go from Philosopher's Stone to Chamber of Secrets, and some things look passable, some things look not passable, but I think Buckbeak looks incredible still, watching this. After a few magical moments, Harry loses balance and holds back onto Buckbeak. Hagrid whistles, which sends Buckbeak back down to the class in the forest. The class all clapped and congratulate Harry! Ha ha ha! Well done, Harry! Well done, Harry! And well done, Buckbeak. Draco gets up and starts pushing students aside. Oh please. Hagrid picks up Harry off Buckbeak. How am I doing, me first day?

SPEAKER_09 1:01:21

Brilliant, Professor.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:22

Draco continues knocking students out of the way as he storms towards Buckbeak.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:26

Yeah, you're not dangerous at all, are you, you great ugly brute. Malfoy, no!

SPEAKER_12 1:01:33

Malfoy gets up in Buckbeak's personal space, so Buckbeak kicks Malfoy to the ground, tearing Draco's uniform and hurting his poor wood alarm. Hagrid tries to calm Buckbeak as the students scream. Hagrid throws a dead ferret to an area where Buckbeak can be out of the way. Away, you silly creature. The only silly creature here is Malfoy.

SPEAKER_17 1:01:52

Oh, it's killed me.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:54

It's killed me. Calm down, it's just a scratch. Hagrid, he has to be taken to the hospital. He really has to. Has to.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:03

That's a local medical facility if you speak wrestling terms. I'm the teacher. I'll do it. Draco continues, overselling the injury as Hagrid picks him up and takes him off.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:13

Oh, you're gonna regret this. Class dismissed. You and your bloody chicken.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:18

Buckbeak gives Harry a friendly beak nudge as Harry watches Hagrid carry Malfoy away. Instant hippogriff love. And in the scene they had to introduce you to Buckbeak, but by the end of it, you had to care for Buckbeak because this is the only really scene you get with them before the execution stuff later on. They did a really good job of showing you what Buckbeak's character is and how Malfoy is an idiot. Yeah. Come back to the castle. A ghost riding a ghost horse ghost smashes through a ghost window, carrying a ghost head. A headless ghost riding another ghost horse also ghost smashes through the ghost window on hot pursuit of the other ghost who is riding a ghost horse. The ghosts charge into the great hall. The students are at the dining table. Malfoy has his arm in the sling. Does it hurt, Draco?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:00

It comes and it goes. Still, I consider myself lucky. Madame Pomfrey said another minute or two and I, uh, coulda lost my arm. I can't possibly do homework for weeks.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:10

Seriously, Draco. Harry, Ron, and Hermione look at Malfoy playing it up from the Gryffindor dining table. Listen to the idiot. He's really laying it on thick, isn't he?

SPEAKER_08 1:03:19

Yeah, but at least Hagrid didn't get fired.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:22

Yeah, I heard Draco's father's furious. We haven't heard the end of this.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:26

Plot set up. Has been sighted! Has been sighted! Who? Serious Bluck! The students huddle around the Dready Prophet newspaper that Seamus places on the table. Dufftown. I'm sorry. Dufftown, that's where Duff Man is from. Duff Bear for me. Duff Bear for you. I'll have a Duff. You have one too.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:46

That's not far from here. You don't think he came to Hogwarts, do you? No, he completed his studies.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:55

With Dementors at every entrance. Dementors has already slipped past the Muncie, hasn't he? Who's to say he won't do it again? That's right.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:03

Black could be anywhere. It's like trying to catch smoke. Like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:10

Cut to a picture of Sirius in the newspaper, screaming as he's held down for the shot. Cut to the Dementors, still stalking the outside grounds. The plants start to freeze around. Cut to the students in class. They are standing in front of a wardrobe, or closet, if you're American, with a mirror on the front of it. The wardrobe is shanking. Something inside wants out.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:32

Intriguing, isn't it? Would anyone like to venture a guess as to what's inside? Tom Cruise in the closet? He should be out of the closet.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:42

Get out of the closet, Tom. But um ts.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:44

That's a bogget, that is. Very good, Mr. Thomas.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:47

The wardrobe shakes again.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:49

Now, can anybody tell me what a bogget looks like?

SPEAKER_12 1:04:52

Uh Tom Cruise in the closet?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:54

Or Tom Cruise jumping on the couch exclaiming that he's in love.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:58

Ron gets a shock from an unexpected person beside him.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:01

No one knows. When did she get here? Boggets are shapeshifters.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:05

So you're saying it could be Tom Cruise in the closet.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:08

They take the shape of whatever a person fares the most. Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day. That's what makes them so so terrifying.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:17

Yes, yes, yes. The wardrobe shakes once more.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:21

Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a boggot. Let's practice it now. Ah, without ones, please. After me. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Very good. The wardrobe shakes. A little louder and very clear. Listen.

SPEAKER_17 1:05:37

Ridiculous! Ridiculous This class is ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:43

Very good. Well, so much for the easy part. You see, the incantation alone is not enough.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:50

Prince Emotep thanks you for your hospitality and for your eyes. And for your tongue, but I'm afraid more is needed.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:00

Whatever he wants. What really finishes a bogart is laughter. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Let me explain. Um Neville, would you join me please? Neville looks around the room. No, the other Neville. Come on, don't be shy. Come on, come on. Hello, Neville. What frightens you most of all? Um Professor Snape? Sorry? Professor Snape? Professor Snape. The class laughs. Ha ha ha Yes, frightens all. And I believe you live with your grandmother.

SPEAKER_12 1:06:37

Yes, but I don't want to turn to her either. The class laughs. No. The wardrobe shakes behind Professor Lupin.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:45

It won't. I want you to picture her clothes. Only her clothes. Very clearly in your mind.

SPEAKER_12 1:06:52

She carries a red handbag.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:54

We don't need to hear it. As long as you see it, we'll see it. Now, when I open that wardrobe, here's what I want you to do. Excuse me.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:02

Lupin whispers in Neville's ear.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:05

And here's my little secret. I killed Mulfasa.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:10

What Lupin actually said.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:12

Imagine Professor Snape in your grandmother's clothes. Can you do that?

SPEAKER_12 1:07:17

The wardrobe shakes.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:18

Yes, wand at the ready.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:20

Professor Lupin pulls out his wand. One, a two, a three. At the count of three, Lupin uses his wand to unlock the wardrobe. The door handle turns and the door slowly opens. Professor Snape comes lurking out. Think, Neville. Think. Professor Snape starts walking towards Neville. Neville points his wand at Snape. Ridiculous! Snape's clothes change from his dark robes into Neville's grandmother's attire. A skirt, jacket, with a hat that has a bird on top and a fox scarf. The whole class laughs. Ha ha ha, including Professor Lupin.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:53

Wonderful, Neville. Wonderful. Incredible. Okay, to the back. Neville. Everybody form a line.

SPEAKER_12 1:08:00

Draco and Coa shoving people around, but eventually a line gets formed.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:04

I want everyone to picture the thing they fear the very most and turn it into something funny.

SPEAKER_12 1:08:11

Professor Lupin puts a record on.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:13

Girl, put your record on.

SPEAKER_12 1:08:15

Exactly the song too, yeah. Some swinging big band stuff that reminds me of the mask.

SPEAKER_15 1:08:20

Boom! Boom! Boom boom.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:23

Next, Ron.

SPEAKER_12 1:08:25

Ron looks nervous.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:26

Concentrate, face your fear, be brave.

SPEAKER_12 1:08:30

The bogot transforms from Snape and old lady clothes into a giant spider. Ron squeals in fear and pulls out his wand. Ridiculous! The giant spider starts skating around as Ron has added some roller skates to its legs. Yes, you see. Very good, very good. The students continue to have their turn at the bogart. Perverti conjures a giant snake, like Jafar in the animated El Adon film. When she casts ridiculous, the snake turns into a giant rocking clown or jack in a box, which is more terrifying. That's way more terrifying. Harry is up next. The giant clown transforms into a Dementor. As it charges at Harry, Professor Lupin steps in the way. Here! The Dementor then changes into a full moon. Lupin casts Ridiculous. The full moon turns into a deflating flying balloon. Lupin gets to the balloon to go back and the wardrobe then locks the door.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:26

Right, right. Sorry about that. That's enough for today. If you would all like to collect your books from the back of the class, that's the end of the lesson. Thank you. Sorry. You can have too much of a good thing.

SPEAKER_12 1:09:37

Harry just stares at the wardrobe as the rest of the class starts to leave. Pretty sure Harry's scar is on the wrong side of his head here. It's on his left side, but I'm pretty sure it was on the right. And in the books, I think the scar is more centre of the forehead.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:50

And in my fanfic, it's honors. Nope.

SPEAKER_12 1:09:52

Honors. One's ready. Cut to the students meeting at an outside entrance by a giant swinging pendulum.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:00

Remember, these visits to Hogsmead Village are a privilege.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:04

To be used for the good of mankind.

SPEAKER_18 1:10:06

Should your behaviour reflect poorly on the school in any way, that privilege shall not be extended again.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:12

Mr. Filch is standing next to McGonagall, collecting permission slips. Harry comes up to Professor McGonagall.

SPEAKER_18 1:10:19

No permission form signed, no visiting the village. That's the rule, Potter.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:24

But I'm Harry Potter. I haven't met a rule yet that I haven't broken.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:29

Oh those with permission follow me. Those without stay put.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:34

Look, Professor, I thought if you signed it, then I could.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:38

I can't. Only a parent or guardian of the galaxy can sign. Since I am neither, it would be inappropriate.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:44

Professor McGonagall starts to walk away, but then turns back and puts her hand on Harry's shoulder as Ron and Hermione watch on. I'm sorry, Potter. That's my final word. Professor McGonagall walks away to break more hearts.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:57

Forget about it, guys. Let the more be a smoothie. I'll see you later.

SPEAKER_12 1:11:01

Directors are gonna contact me and go, What the hell, man? Just stop. Harry starts to walk back inside the castle. Hermione and Ron jog to catch up to the hogsmeat group, while Harry turns back to look longingly outside.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:13

He's like, hmm.

SPEAKER_12 1:11:16

Cut to Harry talking to Professor Lupin on the outside bridge walkway.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:20

Professor, can I ask you something?

SPEAKER_02 1:11:22

You want to know why I stopped you facing that bogget?

SPEAKER_09 1:11:25

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:25

I thought it'd be obvious. I assumed it would take the shape of Lord Voldemort.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:30

I did think of Voldemort at first, but then I remembered that night on the train and the Dementor.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:35

I'm very impressed. That suggests that what you fear the most is fear itself. This is very wise.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:42

Before I fainted, I heard something. A woman screaming.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:45

Well, Dementors force us to relive our very worst memories. Our pain becomes their power.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:52

I think it was my mother the night she was murdered.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:55

Murdered?

SPEAKER_03 1:11:56

Murder Murder.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:59

You know, the very first time I saw you, Harry, I recognized you immediately. Not by your scar, by your eyes.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:06

Those horrible yellow eyes.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:08

They're your mother, Lily's. Yes, oh yes, I knew her. Your mother was there for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others. Even, and most especially, when that person couldn't see it in themselves. And your father, James, on the other hand, he uh he had a certain, shall we say, talent for trouble. A talent, rumour has it, he passed on to you.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:36

It's always dad's fault.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:38

No, legit, I have kids, it's always the dad's fault. You're more like them than you know, Harry. In time, you'll come to see just how much.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:47

In time. Sit up for later. Cut to the moving staircases. Harry is back with Ron and Hermione. Honey Duke's speech shop is brilliant, but nothing beats Zonko's joke shop. Zonko's. Puts the ha and have a nice day. We never got to go to the shrieking shack though.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:04

You heard it's the most haunted building in Britain. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_12 1:13:08

Something is going on.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:09

What's going on?

SPEAKER_12 1:13:10

Pretty much the entire Gryffindor house is waiting on the stairs and by the painting entrance. Probably Neville forgot the password again. Hey! Ron, Harry, and Maya look behind them to see Neville there. Oh, you're there.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:23

Let me through, please. Excuse me, I'm head boy.

SPEAKER_12 1:13:27

Oh look, everyone, Percy's here. Yay!

SPEAKER_07 1:13:30

Get back all of you.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:31

No one is to enter the dormitory until it's been fully searched.

SPEAKER_12 1:13:36

Jinny makes her way down the stairway full of people to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The fat lady, she's gone. Harry Harry looks up to see the reveal of the empty portrait. But that's not all. The portrait also has big claw marks gouged through it. Serves her right, she was a terrible singer. It's not funny, Ron. The paintings around the stairway start moving about the portraits. Dumbledore arrives and makes his way through the crowd to the empty gouged portrait. Felch is behind Dumbledore. When Dumbledore sees the painting, he looks deeply concerned.

SPEAKER_13 1:14:10

Mr. Felch! Round up the ghosts! Tell them to search every painting in the castle to find the fat lady.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:17

There's no need for ghosts, Professor. The fat lady's there.

SPEAKER_12 1:14:22

Felch points up to a nearby painting. The crowd, including Dumbledore Felch and a pissed off Percy, make their way up to a painting of a herd of hungry, hungry hippos. Dear lady, who did this to you? Fat lady appears from behind one of the hippos.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:37

Spike messenger knocked me down. Eyes like the devil he's got. And a soul as dark as his name. It's him, Headmaster. The one they all talk about. He's here. Somewhere in the castle. Sirius Black.

SPEAKER_12 1:14:51

The crowd start murmuring to one another, Oh my god, it's Marius Black. I probably heard that's the guy who was gonna go to prison every time. Murderer Dumbledore talks to Filch.

SPEAKER_13 1:14:59

Secure the castle, Mr. Filch. The rest of you to the great hall.

SPEAKER_12 1:15:04

Harry looks worried. The Hogwarts gate close as a full moon can be seen outside, accompanied by the howl of a wolf. The rest of the doors in and out of Hogwarts are shut. The big steel panel that extends out and turns to create a lock is a pretty cool image. Outside the castle you see the mentors closing in once more. Cut to the school sleeping in the great hall. Filch comes into the room with a lantern.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:28

I searched the astronomy tower and the alley, but there's nothing here.

SPEAKER_12 1:15:32

But yeah, there are owls there. Thank you. Professor Flipwick says that the third floor is also clear with his bowl cart!

SPEAKER_13 1:15:39

Very good.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:40

And I've done the dungeons, headmaster. No sign of black. Nor anywhere else in the castle.

SPEAKER_13 1:15:49

I didn't really expect him to linger.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:52

Remarkable feat, don't you think? To enter Hogwart's castle on one's own, completely undetected.

SPEAKER_13 1:16:01

Quite remarkable.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:03

Any theories on how he managed it?

SPEAKER_12 1:16:06

Er probably magic?

SPEAKER_13 1:16:09

Many! Each as unlikely as the next.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:12

You may recall prior to the start of term I expressed concerns about your appointment of professor.

SPEAKER_13 1:16:19

Not a single professor inside this castle would help Sirius Black to enter it.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:25

Harry comes into shot. He's listening to the convo the teachers have decided to have an airshot to all the students for some reason.

SPEAKER_13 1:16:32

And I'm more than willing to send the students back to the houses.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:36

What about Potter? Should he be warned?

SPEAKER_13 1:16:40

Perhaps. But for now, let him sleep. Otherwise this movie might end prematurely.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:47

Dumbledore looks creepily over Harry. Sweet dreams! We enter a world that's entirely our own. Let them swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud. Uh what? What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_02 1:17:02

Sometimes you've just got to get poetic.

SPEAKER_12 1:17:04

The shot goes up to the stars and galaxies on the ceiling of the Great Hall. Cut to daytime. A leaf falls off the womp willow, then does a forest gumpter fall to the ground. The rest of the leaves then comically all shed at once. Cut to defense against the dark arts class, Professor Snape comes storming in, using his wand to shut all the windows. Snape then pulls a cord which brings down a projection screen.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:29

Turn to page three hundred and ninety four.

SPEAKER_12 1:17:33

The students grab their books and turn the pages.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:36

Excuse me, sir, where's Professor Lupin? That's not really your concern as a putter. Suffice to say your professor finds himself incapable of teaching at the present time. Turn to page three hundred and ninety-four.

SPEAKER_12 1:17:53

Snape taps his wand on a projector. Is it a magic projector or just a standard one?

SPEAKER_02 1:17:58

Aren't all projectors magic?

SPEAKER_12 1:18:00

True. Ron is slowly turning pages. Snape, seeing this, frustratingly uses his wand to turn the pages at Ron's book. Werewolves?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:09

But sir, we just learned about redcaps and hinky punks.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:12

I'm sure Hermione wasn't sitting next to Harry just before.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:15

What's going on? We're not meant to start that for weeks.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:20

When did she come in? Did you see her come in? I love how much Hermione appearing is messing with Ron's mind like the whole entire year.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:28

Harry is confused. Now which one of you can tell me the difference between an animagus and a werewolf?

SPEAKER_12 1:18:37

Hermione raises her hand.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:39

No one. How disappointing.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:42

Please, sir. An animagus is a wizard who elects to turn into an animal. A werewolf has no choice.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:48

This is the second film we've covered this year involving werewolves, the other being Van Housing.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:54

With each full moon, he transforms. He no longer remembers who he is. He'd kill his best friend if he crossed his path. Furthermore, the werewolf only responds to a call of its own kind.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:04

Draco howls.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:06

Thank you, Mr. Moffi. That is the second time you have spoken out of tone, Miss Granger. Are you incapable of restraining yourself, or do you take pride in being an insufferable narrative?

SPEAKER_12 1:19:20

He's got a point, you know? No, Ron, he hasn't. Been told off for correctly answering a question. This is low even for Snape. You can tell in this whole thing he's really angry. He's just pissed off. And he's taking it out in her monitor.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:32

Five points from Gryffinder.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:34

Draco sets off a paper butterfly.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:36

As an introduct to your ignorance and on my disc by Monday morning.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:42

Harry catches the paper butterfly.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:44

Two rows of parchment on the werewolf with particular emphasis on recognizing it.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:50

The whole class groans.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:52

Oh man. Sir, it's Quidditch tomorrow.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:55

Snape gets right up in Harry's face.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:58

Then I suggest you take extra care, Mr. Potter. Lust of limb will not excuse you. Page three hundred and ninety four.

SPEAKER_12 1:20:08

Snape walks off.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:10

The term werewolf is a contraction of the Anglo Saxon word were which means man and wolf. Werewolf, manwolf.

SPEAKER_12 1:20:20

Harry unfolds the paper butterfly and looks at it, then gives Draco a filthy look as Draco smiles at him.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:26

There are several ways to become a werewolf.

SPEAKER_12 1:20:29

Harry looks at the paper note as an animated drawing of Harry being hit by a thrown quarle.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:35

They include being given the power of shape shifting being bit by a werewolf.

SPEAKER_12 1:20:41

The scene fades out. It transitions from the animated drawing to the Quidditch game the next day. Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff. It's pouring rain, so the players are wearing goggles. You see an umbrella flying through the stormy sky. This is the most striking looking Quidditch match in any of the movies, in my opinion. This has like got the most environmental stuff in it. So good. It's really cool.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:02

Go Harry!

SPEAKER_12 1:21:03

There is lightning strikes in the air, which sets some of the players' brooms on fire. They wouldn't postpone or cancel Quidditch in this type of weather. Well, nah, mate, she'll be right. Harry flies into the rainy skies, chasing the golden snitch. The Hufflepuff Seeker is nearby. It must be Cedric Diggory as he played Seeker and was team captain of Hufflepuff. But it's not Robert Batterson. That's right, I said Batterson because he's Batman. This guy looks completely different. Might be his brother, Doug Diggory. Doug Diggory gets hit by a lightning bolt and falls from the sky. Flash origin story right there. DC Flash, that's how he comes Flash.

unknown 1:21:38

Flash.

SPEAKER_12 1:21:40

Harry looks through the clouds. The lightning strike nearby reveals a wolf shape in the clouds. The golden snitch then flies right in front of Harry. The chase is back on. As Harry chases the golden snitch, the end of his broom starts to freeze. His goggles also start freezing up. The flying umbrella narrowly misses Harry as well. This game is much more dangerous than bull rush. As Harry continues chasing the snitch, a Dementor will start flying in from behind. Harry sees it coming and bolts. As Harry is looking behind at the chasing Dementor, another one comes charging in from the front. Harry uses his sick flying skills to evade the front Dementor. Harry does a fly up, then drop-down fast maneuver, which helps him evade the chasing dementors. More and more Dementors arrive. One of them pops up right in front of Harry and starts sucking him off. Harry starts to fall from the skies at a rapid pace. Harry can hear the kettle whistle screams of the woman once again. The crowd can only watch on as they see Harry free fall. And he's free Free Fallin! Dumbledore gets up and points his hand towards the fallen Harry.

SPEAKER_16 1:22:50

Aristo!

SPEAKER_12 1:22:51

Momentum! The scene turns into darkness. He looks a bit peaky, doesn't he? Pinky?

SPEAKER_06 1:22:56

What do you expect? He fell over a hundred feet. Ron, let's walk you off the tower and see what you look like.

SPEAKER_12 1:23:03

Harry opens his eyes to see Ron. Fred, George, Hermione, Seamus, and Neville in front of him.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:10

Probably a right sight better than he normally does.

SPEAKER_12 1:23:13

Ah, the group all have a good laugh. Haha, you're ugly. How are you feeling?

SPEAKER_09 1:23:17

Like a bike messenger, knock me down. Oh brilliant.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:21

You gave us a rugged skin there, mate. Sound Australian.

SPEAKER_12 1:23:25

But that's what they're gonna sound like. They sound very nasally. What happened? Well, you fell off your broom.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:31

Really? I meant the match. Who won?

SPEAKER_02 1:23:33

Um, no one blames you, Harry. The Dementors were not supposed to be on the grounds. Dumbledore was furious.

SPEAKER_12 1:23:39

Gobble of Fire furious? Did you Harry? Did you fall off your broom? As soon as he saved you, he sent them straight off. There's uh there's something else you should know too, Harry. Um, when you fell, your broom sort of blew into the womping willow and uh well Ron reveals Harry's Nimbus 2000. It's broken into pieces. Harry is gutted. The shot transitions from Harry in the sick bay to Harry outside in the forest. Was Professor Lupin?

SPEAKER_02 1:24:08

I'm sorry to hear about your broomstick. Is there no chance of fixing it?

SPEAKER_09 1:24:12

No. Professor, why do the Dementors affect me so? I mean more than anyone else.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:18

Listen, the Dementors are the foulest creatures to walk this earth. They feed on every good feeling, every happy memory, until the person is left with absolutely nothing but his worst experiences. You are not weak, Harry. The Dementors affect you the most because there are true horrors in your past. Horrors your classmates can scarcely imagine. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

SPEAKER_09 1:24:40

I'm scared, Professor.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:42

Well, I'd consider you a fool if you weren't.

SPEAKER_09 1:24:44

I need to know how to fight them. You could teach me. You made the one on the train go away.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:48

There was only one that night.

SPEAKER_09 1:24:50

But you made it go away.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:51

I don't pretend to be an expert, Harry.

SPEAKER_12 1:24:53

Harry! Professor Lupin and Hebwig, who just turned up, look on at a small island in front of them.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:59

But as the Dementors seem to have developed a particular interest in you, perhaps I should teach you. But after the holidays.

SPEAKER_12 1:25:07

Headwood flies away after a few pats from Harry.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:10

For now, I need to rest.

SPEAKER_12 1:25:17

The classic Harry Potter theme kicks in. Harry is now inside the face of a giant clock in the castle. He watches the other students leave for Hogsmead. Cut to a snowy courtyard outside. Fred and George are building a snowman while footprints appear in the snow by them. Fred and George grab an invisible person.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:43

Guys, let me go. Clever Harry. But not clever enough. Besides, we've got a better way. I'm trying to get to Hogsmeade. Wait. No.

SPEAKER_12 1:25:52

Don't worry. We'll get you there. Fred and George drag Harry back into the castle.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:56

We'll show you a quicker way if you pop down.

SPEAKER_12 1:25:59

Let me go. Come on. Don't.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:02

Now, Harry. Come and join the big boys.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:06

JB's like, yeah, bring it on. Fred and George let go of Harry by an old wooden staircase. Harry removes the invisibility cloak. What are you doing? Shhh. Fred and George look around to make sure no one else is around. George gives Harry a blank piece of parchment. It's funny because they look around and see no one's there, but later on when they're talking, someone's walking past. Clearly not caring now. What's this rubbish? What's this rubbish? he says.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:30

That there is the secret to our success.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:33

Like the Michael J. Fox film. It's a wrench, giving it to you, believe me.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:37

But we've decided your needs are greater than ours. George, if you will.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:41

George whips out his wand and points it at the piece of parchment. I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good. As the wand taps the parchment, text and pictures appear on the front. The page is split down the middle. Text reads Mrs.

SPEAKER_08 1:26:55

Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to present your dinner. Be our guest, be our guest. Put our service to the test. Tie a napkin round your neck, sherie, and we provide the rest.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:09

No wait, that was Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast. Soup du genre! There's also the Simpsons version too. See my vest, see my vest, made from real grills, chest. See my sweater, there's no better made from real life Ariaseta. See my hat, 'twas my cat. My evening wear vampire bet. So good. The Marauders map. We owe them so much. Harry opens up the pages. It's a map of Hogwarts. Hang on, this is Hogwarts.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:35

And that no, is that really Dumbledore.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:39

And a study.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:40

Pacing does that a lot.

SPEAKER_08 1:27:41

So you mean this map shows Everyone. Everyone?

SPEAKER_06 1:27:45

Where they are?

SPEAKER_12 1:27:46

What they're doing.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:46

Every minute.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:47

Of every day. Harry is astonished. Brilliant. Where'd you get it? Decked it from Felcher's office, of course.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:54

First year.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:55

Now listen, there are seven secret passageways out of the castle. We'd recommend. This one. George points at the map.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:01

The one-eyed witch passageway. That will lead you straight to Honey Duke's. Your best Harry filter's heading this way.

SPEAKER_12 1:28:08

Oh, and Harry, don't forget, when you're done, just give it a tap. And say Mischief Managed. Otherwise anyone can read it.

SPEAKER_09 1:28:17

That was a great little last one.

SPEAKER_12 1:28:19

The text and images disappear. Guts are Harry popping up from a tile on the floor in the Honey Duke's basement. Harry watches a man head upstairs with some stock. The basement looks like a 19th-century laboratory. Almost like in Beauty and the Beast. Belle's dad. Crazy old Maurice's lab. Harry climbs out from the hole in the floor. Harry pops his invisibility cloak back on and heads upstairs. The Honey Duke's shop is chock full of candy. Can't lollygag in there. Everything looks to be in peppermint condition. A lifesaver for sweet fans. Neville goes to lick a giant lollipop. When invisible Harry swipes it from him and goes out the door. Nothing to see here, just a floating lollipop. I guess in the magic world it's coming. CGI on the lollipop hasn't aged particularly well. Doesn't look too real against the live action backdrop. It looks a little cartoonish compared to the rest of the world. Cut outside to the shrieking shack. The shot zooms out to Hermione and Ron looking at the shack from afar behind a barbed wire fence.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:18

It's meant to be the most haunted building in Britain.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:21

I thought the Shrieking Shack is a little old place where we can get together.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:27

Did I mention that? Twice! Oh, do you want to move a bit closer?

SPEAKER_12 1:29:32

Some haunting music starts. Ron and Hermione are being watched. Huh? To the Shrieking Shack. Oh uh actually, yeah um I'm fine here. Well, well, look who's here. Ron and Hermione turn around to see Draco in a Russian style winter hat, along with Crab and replacement Goyle coming down the snowy banks towards them.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:56

You two shopping for your new dream home. Bit grand for you, isn't it, Weasel Bee? Don't your family sleep in a one room?

SPEAKER_12 1:30:04

Shut your mouth, Malfoy. More like Mouthfoy? Am I right?

SPEAKER_02 1:30:09

Ooh, not very friendly. Boys, I think it's time we teach Weaselbee how to respect his superiors.

SPEAKER_12 1:30:17

Draco grabs his coat in the front like a yuppie, and Marty laughs.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:21

I hope you don't mean yourself.

SPEAKER_12 1:30:23

How dare you talk to me, you filthy little mud blood. A snowball gets thrown at the side of Draco's face, but nobody does it. Bennett is there. Who is that? A snowball comes flying in and out of nowhere. I do enjoy the first person shot of seeing a snowball coming towards the camera.

SPEAKER_09 1:30:41

Yeah, it's real cool.

SPEAKER_12 1:30:42

Malfoy gets hit square on. When he does, comical music starts to play. Draco and his boys panic as they are scared of the incoming snowballs and start to panic. Crab gets down traded. Remember that in primary school getting downtratted? I remember those days. Well, replacement Goyle gets dragged around by a scarf, all by an invisible Ary. How is Harry doing this without revealing his hands and arms under the cloak? Draco gets bootstrapped dragged down the hill. What's up, Malfoy? Lost your skis? Draco gets dropped. He runs back up to his boys. Then they take off in the other direction. Hermione squeal laughs and Ron smiles. Ron stops smiling when he sees his hat cords moving by themselves. Hermione smiles when her hair starts dancing.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:25

Harry!

SPEAKER_12 1:31:26

Harry appears from the cloak behind them. Harry laughs. Bloody hell, Harry! That was not funny. Cut to Harry, Ron, and Hermione walking in the snow by a wooden posted sign that has the screaming, serious black poster. They are walking through the snowy streets of Hogsmead. Those weasels! Never told me about any marauders' map.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:46

Harry isn't going to keep it. He's going to turn it over to Professor McGonagall, aren't you?

SPEAKER_12 1:31:51

Oh sure. Along with his invisibility cloak.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:53

Oh, look who it is. Madame Rose Murder. Ron fancies her.

SPEAKER_12 1:31:58

That's not true. Melissa Fudge is nearby in a magic carriage. Hagrid is helping him exit out of it.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:04

Hagrid accidentally rips the door off the carriage. Sorry about that. Rose murder, my dear. I have businesses good.

SPEAKER_12 1:32:11

It'll be a lot better if the ministry wasn't sending Dementors into my pub every night. I can just imagine Dementors getting drunk inside, singing pirate sea shanties. Rosemurta gets right up in Fudge's face with the hammer she was just using on her front door frame. Professor McGonagall walks up to Fudge and Rosemurta.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:29

We we have a we have a killer on the loose.

SPEAKER_12 1:32:32

Sirius Black and Hogsmead? And what would bring him here? I reckon the chocolate frogs. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are still watching them from close by. Fudge whispers close to Rosemurta.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:43

Harry Potter.

SPEAKER_16 1:32:44

Harry Potter?

SPEAKER_12 1:32:45

Shh come. Fudge and Professor McGonagall lead Rosemurta inside. It cuts back to Ron and Hermione, who turn to look at Harry. They all heard Rosemurta. Harry is already invisible though, and goes inside the pub. Hermione and Ron try to go in after Harry but get carded at the door by some shrunken heads.

SPEAKER_09 1:33:03

I see no underage wizards allowed in today.

SPEAKER_18 1:33:06

Shut the damn door. So rude. Thick heads?

SPEAKER_09 1:33:10

Thick, how dare they?

SPEAKER_18 1:33:11

Who are they calling that?

SPEAKER_09 1:33:13

Young whippersnappers.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:15

Hermione and Ron stay outside and look through the glass window in the door. Harry starts searching through the pub for Rosemurta, Fudge, and McGonagle. The first person view with the breathing is a nice touch. You gotta hear Harry going.

unknown 1:33:29

Oh yeah. It's fudge.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:33

Oh fudge. Fudge.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:36

Harry finds them in an upstairs room. Nobody is going to come to a pub where they're gonna get scared out of their wits.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:42

Professor Dumbledore doesn't want dementors around the place, I can assure you.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:46

As Harry enters the room, still under the cloak, for his murder looks confused as to why the door opened. Harry sneaks around her while she closes the door. Now tell me, what is this all about?

SPEAKER_02 1:33:56

Well, years ago, when Harry Potter's parents realized they were marked for death, do you remember? They hid. Few knew where they were. One who did was Sirius Black, and he told you know who.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:08

Not only did Black lead him to the Potters that night, but he also killed one of their friends, Peter Pettigrew.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:14

Peter Pettigrew? Little lump of a boy, always trailing after Sirius Black.

SPEAKER_12 1:34:18

I remember. Never let James and Sirius out of his sight. But what happened to him?

SPEAKER_02 1:34:23

Peter Pettigrew tried to warn them.

SPEAKER_12 1:34:25

Fudge is opening a bottle of liquor near where Harry is standing. Fudge looks suspicious in Harry's direction. It's probably all the Fudge.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:36

And might have, had he not run into an old friend, Sirius Black.

SPEAKER_12 1:34:40

Fudge decides, ah, it was nothing, and starts pouring the liquor into glasses.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:44

Black was vicious. He didn't kill Peter Patagrew, he destroyed him. A finger. That's all that was left. A finger, nothing else.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:52

Yes, Sirius Black may not have put his hands to the potters, but he's the reason they're dead.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:56

And now he wants to finish what he started.

SPEAKER_12 1:34:59

I don't believe it. Fudge hands Professor McGonagall a drink. That's not the worst of it.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:03

What could be worse? This Sirius Black was and remains Harry Potter's godfather.

SPEAKER_12 1:35:10

I wonder if people came to see Sirius on the day of his daughter's wedding. Harry is astonished. Harry cloakruns away out of the pub.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:18

Ron, look!

SPEAKER_12 1:35:19

Hermione sees footprints appearing in the snow from the bench they were sitting at. Must be Will Smith, as they look to be fresh prints.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:26

Oh, that was good.

SPEAKER_12 1:35:28

Invisible Harry walks right through a group of carolers. Harry is a jerk. Hermione and Ron politely apologize and make their way through the fallen carolers as they pursue Harry. Ron and Hermione follow the footprints in the snow until they stop. They can hear Harry sobbing under the cloak nearby. It's quite sad actually. Then when they pull off his cloak, he hasn't been crying at all.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:48

The moment's gone.

SPEAKER_12 1:35:49

Yeah, he hasn't been crying. You can tell by his face. They could have gone Wainswield and put water on his face. Hermione goes up towards the invisible, crying Harry. Hermione gently removes the cloak.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:58

Harry, what happened? Both messages not reach out.

SPEAKER_09 1:36:06

He was their friend.

SPEAKER_08 1:36:07

And he betrayed them. He was their friend. I hope he finds me.

SPEAKER_12 1:36:12

Because when he does, I'm gonna be ready. Kudo Harry going over plans to set up home alone style traps at Hogwarts.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:18

When he does, I'm gonna kill him.

SPEAKER_12 1:36:20

Cut to a shot of the womping willow once again. Winter is melting away. Spring is here. The womping willow shakes snow off its branches like a dog. Harry, there you are, you came. The shot transitions from the womping willow to Harry and Professor Lupin in the defence against the Dark Arts classroom. Lupin is looking up from the balcony, similar to when Professor Lockhart was introduced in the Chamber of Secrets.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:45

Drink! Now, are you sure about this, Harry? This is very advanced magic, well beyond the ordinary wizarding level.

SPEAKER_12 1:36:52

Must be trying to make a good Morbius film. I'm sure.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:56

Well, everything's prepared.

SPEAKER_12 1:36:58

Lupin heads down the nearby stairs.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:00

Now the spell I'm going to try and teach you is called the Patronus Charm. Did you ever hear of it?

SPEAKER_12 1:37:05

Harry shakes his head.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:07

No? Well, a Patronus is a positive force, and for the wizard who conjures one, it works something like a shield with the Dementor feeding on it rather than him. But in order for it to work, you need to think of a memory. Not just any memory, but a very happy memory. A very powerful memory. Like in the movie Hook with Robin Williams. Can you do this?

SPEAKER_12 1:37:28

Harry nods with about half confidence.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:32

Yes, very well. Close your eyes.

SPEAKER_12 1:37:35

Harry closes his eyes.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:37

Concentrate. Explore your past. Do you have a memory?

SPEAKER_12 1:37:41

Harry nods. Lupin walks around Harry.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:44

Allow it to fill you up.

SPEAKER_12 1:37:45

I hope this is a clean dream.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:47

Lose yourself within it. Then speak the incantation. Expecto patronum.

SPEAKER_12 1:37:53

Expecto patronum. Very good. Lupin walks over to a large chest and prepares to open it.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:00

Shall we? Wand at the ready.

SPEAKER_12 1:38:02

Harry points his wand at the chest. Lupin unlocks the chest. I do love all the different types of locks there are in the wizarding world. The lock in the Gringotts Vault and Philosopher's Stone. The lock on the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. Drink! They are also creative. Lupin opens up the chest. A bogart Dementor comes flying out. Harry tries the incantation. Expecto patronum. It doesn't work. The Bogart Dementor is unaffected. Expecto, Expecto. Harry starts to lose focus and energy. Harry passes out.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:31

Here we go. Come on. Sit up. Deep breaths.

SPEAKER_12 1:38:35

The shot goes from a foggy blur around the edges, but clearer as Harry regains consciousness. Harry wakes up and sits on the floor.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:43

It's alright. I didn't expect you to do it the first time. That would have been remarkable.

SPEAKER_12 1:38:48

Lupin reaches into his pants.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:50

Here, eat this. You'll feel better.

SPEAKER_12 1:38:52

Lupin gives Harry a piece of chocolate. That's one nasty Dementor.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:57

Oh no no no. That was a bogget, Harry. A bogget. The real thing would be much worse. Much, much worse.

SPEAKER_12 1:39:05

Yeah, I remember when Big D gets sucked off by a Dementor at Order the Phoenix. Much worse.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:13

Big D.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:13

Big D.

SPEAKER_12 1:39:14

Harry gets up off the floor.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:16

As a matter of interest, what were you thinking? Which memory did you choose?

SPEAKER_12 1:39:21

The first time I rode a broom. Lupin looks at Harry like, really?

SPEAKER_02 1:39:25

Well, that's not good enough. Not nearly good enough.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:29

Harry starts to think and paces around the room. There's another. The first time I listened to nobody does it, Bennett. There's another. When Michael Jordan came back to the NBA and rejoined the Chicago Bulls. There's another. When they brought back the Macrib. There's another. It's not happy exactly. Well it is. It's the happiest I've ever felt, but it's complicated.

SPEAKER_17 1:39:50

Is it strong?

SPEAKER_12 1:39:51

Harry stops playing with a candle flame and turns back to look at Professor Lupin and nods his head.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:57

Then let's give it a try. You feel ready?

SPEAKER_08 1:39:59

Just do it.

SPEAKER_12 1:40:00

Round two. Lupin unlocks the chest once more and releases the Bogart. Dementor from the chest. The Bogart Dementor rises up in the air. Expecto patronum. Nothing happens.

SPEAKER_08 1:40:11

Expecto patronum!

SPEAKER_12 1:40:14

A bright white light radiates from the end of Harry's wand. It blocks the bogart from getting to Harry. The choir music in this moment gives it a real religious feel, like Harry is using the power of God. Like even later on when he does it, this is that choir music, that angelic music. The bogart is trapped. Triumphant music plays as Harry uses the patronum shield to guide the Bogart Dementor back into the chest. Lupin is ecstatic. Lupin closes the chest, trapping the Bogart once more.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:41

Well done, Harry. Well done.

SPEAKER_12 1:40:44

I think I've had enough for today.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:46

Yes, sit down here.

SPEAKER_12 1:40:47

Lupin hands Harry another piece of chocolate.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:50

Eat this. It helps. It really helps. And just so you know, Harry, I think you'd have given your father a run for his money, and that is saying something.

SPEAKER_08 1:41:00

The same blood flows through my veins. Same weakness. Just noticed the wee train set in the room too. I was thinking of him and mum, seeing their faces.

SPEAKER_09 1:41:10

They were talking to me. Just talking. That's the memory I chose. I don't even know if it's real, but it's the best I have.

SPEAKER_12 1:41:17

It's a nice moment with him and Lupin. Lupin's like the only defense against Dark Arts teacher that actually Harry really gets along with. Like I guess fake Moody kind of does as well. Yeah. But this one, like, you see the relationships of him and Lupin. It's a shame that they don't get any more time in the series pretty much to actually kind of establish what they're built here. Just this movie, yeah. It's almost like Sirius takes over that role for Harry. Once this movie finishes, he becomes in the fourth, mainly in the fifth movie. More the surrogate dad that Lupin kind of starts here with the relationship. Cut to Harry, Ron, and Hermione walking outside to the courtyard.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:50

Beautiful day. Gorgeous.

SPEAKER_12 1:41:51

Unless, of course, you've been ripped to pieces.

SPEAKER_08 1:41:54

Ripped to pieces? What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_12 1:41:56

Ronald has lost his rat. I haven't lost anything. Your cat killed him. Rubbish. Hermione storms off in front. Ron looks back to Harry. Harry, you've seen the way that bloodthirsty beast of hers is always lurking about, and Scabbers is gone.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:11

Well, maybe you should learn to take better care of your pets.

SPEAKER_12 1:42:14

Hagrid says exactly the same line to him later on, pretty much. Scabbers pops up on the concrete wall in front of them. Cats always know when you're talking about them. Your cat killed him. Did not. Did? Didn't. Cut to Hagrid's skimming discus-sized stones in the like. Hagrid is thigh deep in the water. He's also wearing a fairy jacket and a tie. I think it's the same jacket he wears in Gobble the Fire when he goes to the dance. Harry, Ron, and Hermione appear shoreside.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:39

How'd it go, Hagrid? The hearing?

SPEAKER_12 1:42:41

Well, first off, the committee members took turns talking about why we were there. Hagrid skimmed another stone. Then I got up and did my piece. Said our buckbeak was a good hippogriff. Always cleaned his feathers. And then Lucius Malfoy got up. Well you can imagine. He said Buckwick was a deadly and dangerous creature who would kill you as soon as look at ya. Hagrid skims another stone. And then he asked for the worst. Did old Lucius? They're not sacking ya. No, I'm not sacked. Hagrid skims a stone. Buckbee's been sentenced to death. Hagrid throws a stone. It just splashes. Hagrid cries. Makes me so sad to see Hagrid cry. Cut to a sweeping shot of the great hall before cutting to Harry and his Gryffindor bedroom while the other students sleep. He's reading something while using his wand for light. Harry also seems to be eating something. Not sure what he was eating, but he's eating something. Ron wakes up from a nightmare involving spiders.

SPEAKER_16 1:43:36

The sp spiders! Spiders the spiders, they want me to tap dance. I don't want to tap dance.

SPEAKER_09 1:43:44

You tell those spiders, Ron.

SPEAKER_13 1:43:46

Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:43:47

Tell them. I'll tell them, yeah, I'll tell them. I'll tell. Ron drifts back off to sleep. Harry is looking at the Marauders map. Harry sees Filch moving around the map. Harry then turns up to another part of the map. Another name comes up. It's Peter Pettigrew. Harry is astonished. Harry remembers back to the pub conversation Rose Murta, Professor McGonagall, and Fudge were having, remembering Peter Pettigrew's name being mentioned. Peter Pettigrew was murdered by Sirius Black. Only a finger was left. So how is Peter now appearing on the Marauders map? Harry gets out of his bed and puts his shoes on. Seems to be a very precious thing to have your shoes right next to your bed so you can just land in them when you get out of bed.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:29

I can understand slippers, but shoes.

SPEAKER_12 1:44:32

Yeah, and he does it without touching anything. He's just like BOP. Harry sneaks his way around the castle, moving past some snoring portraits. Why do ghosts need to sleep? We ask the tough questions here at Nobody Does a Bennett. Questions that people don't dare to ask.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:46

Questions that keep you up at night.

SPEAKER_12 1:44:48

One of the portraits gets blinded by Harry's one light. Put that light out! Harry points the one light back at the Marauder's map. Harry moves slowly in the darkness. Harry can see that Peter Pettigrew is coming right towards him on the map. Harry shines his one light in front of him, frantically looking to see who this mystery Peter Pettigrew is, but sees nothing. Harry looks at the map again. Peter is getting closer and closer to him, walking in a zigzag type way on the map. Harry still sees no one in front of him. Peter Pettigrew's icon on the map comes right up to Harry. He still sees nothing. Harry turns and gets startled as he sees someone. It's Harry, staring at his own reflection in a nearby mirror. Harry frantically searches for him as Peter Pettigrew's icon moves away from him. The constant one waving is annoying some of the nearby portraits.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:35

Watch out there, boy.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:37

We're trying to sleep, yeah?

SPEAKER_05 1:45:38

Yes, we are.

SPEAKER_12 1:45:39

Harry looks back down at the map. Snape is coming towards him on the map. Harry prepares as Snape comes around the corner. Mischief managed. Knocks. Harry's wand light goes out. Did Snape see him? It goes from pitch black to Professor Snape appearing behind Harry. I think Snape did see Harry.

SPEAKER_09 1:45:56

Potter. What are you doing wandering the corridors at night? I was sleepwalking.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:02

If he was moonwalking, he could have transformed into a car.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:05

How extraordinary like your father you are. Potter. He too was exceedingly arrogant, strutting about the castle. My dad didn't strut, and nor do I. Now if you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you could lower your wand.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:22

Harry is a bit of a punk here. Snape slightly lowers his wand.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:26

Turn out your pockets.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:29

Harry ignores Professor Snape.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:32

Turn out your pockets.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:34

Harry pulls out the Marauders map.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:36

What's this spare bit of parchment? Really. Open it.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:42

Harry opens up the spare bit of parchment. Professor Snape points his wand to the parchment.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:47

Reveal your secrets.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:49

The parchment starts to show text and images.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:53

Read it. It's some form of elvish. I cannot read it. Read it. Mrs. Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs offer their compliments to Professor Snape and go on. And request that he keeps his abnormally large nose out of other people's business. Why you insolent little Professor.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:15

Snape turns and points as one behind him. Professor Lupin is there.

SPEAKER_09 1:47:19

I love this Snape quote. This one's so good. Well, well, Lupin. Out for a little walk in the moonlight, are we?

SPEAKER_12 1:47:28

Lupin has scratch marks across his face. Must have been an itch he needed to scratch. Harry, are you all right?

SPEAKER_09 1:47:35

That remains to be seen.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:38

Professor Snape snatches a piece of parchment from Harry's hand.

SPEAKER_09 1:47:41

I have just now confiscated a rather curious artifact from Mr. Potter. Take a look, Lupin. Supposed to be your area of expertise. Clearly it's full of dark magic.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:54

I seriously doubt it, Severus. It looks to me as though it's merely a parchment designed to insult anyone who tries to read it. I suspect it's a Zonko product.

SPEAKER_12 1:48:04

Professor Snape tries to take the parchment back from Professor Lupin, but Lupin pulls his hand away.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:10

Nevertheless, I shall investigate any hidden qualities it may possess. It is, after all, as you say, my area of expertise. Harry, would you come with me, please? Professor, good night.

SPEAKER_12 1:48:22

Harry and Professor Lupin walk off.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:24

Are you deaf? Put that light out.

SPEAKER_12 1:48:27

Professor Snape gives the portrait a dirty look before walking off and putting the light out on his wand. Cuts are Harry and Professor Lupin entering the defense against the Dark Arts classroom. It's almost dawn as light starts to come through the window. Unless it's moonlight, which wouldn't even be a werewolf if it was, I don't know. It's very light in there though.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:44

Come in. Now I haven't the faintest idea, Harry, how this map came to be in your possession, but quite frankly, I am astounded that you didn't hand it in. Did it ever occur to you that this, in the hands of Sirius Black, is a map to you?

SPEAKER_12 1:48:57

Harry shakes his head.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:59

No.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:00

No, sir.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:01

You know, your father never set much store by the rules either, but he and your mother gave their lives to save yours. And gambling, their sacrifice by wandering around the castle unprotected with the killer on the loose, seems to be a pretty poor way to repay them. Now, I will not cover up for you again, Harry. Do you hear me?

SPEAKER_12 1:49:19

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:20

I want you to return to your dormitory and stay there.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:22

Harry nods and starts to walk away.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:24

And don't take any detours. If you do, I shall know.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:28

As Harry walks away and Professor Lupin walks in the other direction. Harry stops and turns back.

SPEAKER_09 1:49:34

Professor, just so you know, I don't think that map always works.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:37

Professor Lupin turns back to face Harry.

SPEAKER_09 1:49:39

Earlier on, I it showed me someone in the castle, someone I know to be dead.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:44

Oh, really? And who might that be?

SPEAKER_09 1:49:47

Peter Pettigrew.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:48

Lupin gives Harry a look of disbelief.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:50

That's not possible.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:52

That's just what I saw. Good night, Professor. Harry heads out of the classroom. So going by this, Lupin thought Sirius was getting Guilty for like all these years. Mm-hmm. Until this moment? Correct. Wow. This part obviously is there, so you did have an idea that he thought he was guilty, but when he meets him at the end, it almost seems like that was part of their plan all along. That's why I was always like, when did he know? It was always kind of mysterious. Cut to divination clasp with Professor Trelawney. Broaden your minds, you must look beyond. The art of crystal gazing is in the clearing of the inner eye. Harry and Ron are glaring into the crystal ball in front of them. Well, Harry is. Ron is asleep. Only then you can see. Try again. Professor Trelawney comes towards Harry and Ron's table, which wakes Ron up in a hurry. Now what do we have here?

SPEAKER_02 1:50:40

Oh, do you mind me trying?

SPEAKER_12 1:50:42

Hermione appearing out of nowhere again. Professor Trelawney looks at Hermione.

SPEAKER_02 1:50:46

The grim, possibly.

SPEAKER_16 1:50:48

My dear, from the moment you step foot in my class, I sense that you did not possess the proper spirit for the noble art of divination.

SPEAKER_12 1:50:57

Professor Tronny looks at Hermione's hands. Hermione looks unimpressed.

SPEAKER_16 1:51:01

No, you see there? You may be young in years, but but your heart beats as if shriveled as an old maid's. Your soul is dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave.

SPEAKER_12 1:51:12

Hermione pulls her hand away, clearly upset. Hermione gets up and backhands the crystal ball off the table and walks away like, whoa, that's an overreaction. Hermione walks around the rolling crystal ball to leave. Professor Trelawney looks at Harry. Have I said something? No. Got to Ron and Harry walking down the spiral staircase after divination class. She's gone mental, Hermione has. I mean, not that she wasn't always mental, but now it's out in the open for everyone to see. Hang on. Harry bends down and picks up the crystal ball. Weird it stopped rolling midway down the stairs. Movie magic. Hmm. Or maybe it wanted to be found by Harry. We better take this back. I'm not going back. Fine. See ya later. See ya. I ain't gone back. Screw that. Do you see that spiral staircase? No. Harry starts walking back up the spiral staircase with the crystal ball. Harry enters a divination classroom. It's a nice tracking shot of Harry walking back through, so you're following him from behind and just follows him. Kind of reminds you of boogie nights when they're walking through the house. There's a cat sitting on a chair in the classroom. Harry puts the crystal ball on a nearby table. Something about the crystal ball then catches Harry's eye. He looks deeply into it. Serious black can be seen within the crystal ball.

SPEAKER_13 1:52:25

Harry Potter!

SPEAKER_12 1:52:26

A hand then grabs onto Harry's shoulder from behind. It's Professor Trelawney. Oh, Professor Trelawney.

SPEAKER_16 1:52:33

He who returned tonight!

SPEAKER_08 1:52:36

Sorry.

SPEAKER_16 1:52:36

Tonight! He who betrayed his friends, whose heart rots with murder shall break free! And as the blood shall be spilled, and it's over the masters shall be reunited once more.

SPEAKER_12 1:52:49

Trelawney snaps out of the trant she was just in. Uh-huh. I'm sorry, de boy. Did you say something?

SPEAKER_09 1:52:55

No. Nothing.

SPEAKER_12 1:52:56

Harry now fully traumatized, walks past Professor Trelawney and then runs out of the classroom. Again, it's a nice tracking shot, but this time with Harry walking towards the camera and Professor Trelawney just behind him. Very scary when I first saw that coming in. She's like, holy cow, she It's very intense. She does have powers, but she can't control them.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:15

Mm-hmm. Again, the book goes so into the history of all the prophecies that she has happened to make over the years, but in between times it's just like cabbage level bad divination. Just really, really bad, and no one can understand why Dumbledore had her at the school. But again, it gets delved into in much greater detail in those books, and it's fascinating.

SPEAKER_12 1:53:34

I guess every time she has a prophecy, a crystal ball pair at the ministry.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:37

Someone has to put them into the orbs though.

SPEAKER_12 1:53:39

So not just like an automatic thing like marbles.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:42

I don't think so. I don't know. I don't know if it really specified the automation.

SPEAKER_12 1:53:46

Have you ever seen Minardi Report whenever they have like a premonition? There's like a marble ball that rolls out and kind of hits and joins other ones. That's why I always thought maybe that was like the marble room. Monarch reports a Harry Potter spin-off, Tom Cruise.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:57

And this is why you listen to the Greg Bennett podcast for all of the thoughts that keep you up at night.

SPEAKER_12 1:54:02

Cut to an executioner sharpening his big axe blade outside in the Hogwarts courtyard. It's Buckbeak's execution day. Hermione leads Harry and Ron through the courtyard. They see the executioner. The trio walk past and over the wooden bridge walkway.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:15

I can't believe they're going to kill Buckbeak. It's just too horrible.

SPEAKER_12 1:54:19

Especially with an axe? Doesn't the magical world have a more humane way like even muggles do? Just a quick avata cavala should do the trick. Just saying. It just got worse. Harry, Ron, and Hermione walk out of the bridge exit to see Malfoy with his posse. They are looking at Hagrid's hut with binoculars.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:36

What did I say? Father said I can keep the hippogriff's head. I'll donate it to the Gryffindor's room.

SPEAKER_12 1:54:41

Hermione walks up to Malfoy Crab and replacement goal.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:45

Look who's here, huh? Come to see the show. You, you foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!

SPEAKER_12 1:54:51

Hermione points her wand at Malfoy's throat. Malfoy starts to cower in fear. He's so cartoonish in this, he's always like, please don't! Hermione, no, he's not worth it. As Malfoy snivels away, Hermione lowers her wand and turns away, but then turns back and punches Malfoy right in the nose. She was lucky that Malfoy didn't crack the back of his head on that large rock behind him.

SPEAKER_02 1:55:12

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_09 1:55:13

It's pretty close, eh?

SPEAKER_12 1:55:14

That could have been very messy.

SPEAKER_02 1:55:16

Especially when the rock behind him looks like the one in the Outlander series that she travels through the stones in time.

SPEAKER_12 1:55:21

Ooh. Malfoy cries in pain as his boys hold him up. The three run away, saying not a word to anyone. That felt good. Not good. Brilliant! Harry, Ron, Hermione run down the steps and towards Hagrid's hut. They see Buckbeak sitting outside in the pumpkin patch, chained up, waiting to die. Buckbeak is sitting in a very classy and majestic way. It then cuts to Harry, Ron, and Hermione inside the hut with Hagrid. Harry and Hagrid are looking out the window. Look at him. Loves the smell the trees when the wind blows through him. Why don't we just set him free? The know it was me. And then Dumbledore would get into trouble. He's coming down, you know, Dumbledore. Says he wants to be with me when they uh when it happens. Hagrid loses himself for a moment in his thoughts before snapping back to reality. A great man. Dumbledore. Great big bushy bear. A great man. Hagrid turns back into the hut where Ron and Hermonia are sitting. Hagrid feeds the large creature that is hatching out of an egg in the corner of the hut. I looked it up to see what it was called, and it's called Egg Creature.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:20

Egg creature. That's what it is.

SPEAKER_12 1:56:22

It's not actually an actual creature that we know of.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:24

Oh, wait, no, you don't know about the lore of the egg creature? Oh my god. Okay, so this is totally explained in the unpublished extra books because I'm talking.

SPEAKER_12 1:56:32

I was gonna say, oh, there's gonna be a whole backstory? No. There was this whole war of the egg creatures. There was this whole thing that like they're gonna probably turn into the second Hellquartz game about the egg creatures war.

SPEAKER_17 1:56:42

Was that convincing though?

SPEAKER_12 1:56:43

Yeah, it was. I fell for it. Nice. I was waiting for a story. Yeah, got me, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:46

Thank you, thank you. I'll take my bow. We'll stay with you too, Hagrid.

SPEAKER_12 1:56:50

You'll do no such thing. Think I want you seeing something like that. No, you just drink your tea and be off. Oh, before you do, Ron, Hagrid walks over to a tin on a shelf and opens it and grabs something from it. Scabbers, you're alive! Gotta keep a closer eye on your pet, Ron. Pretty much what Hermione said.

SPEAKER_02 1:57:07

Uh-huh. Amen, sister. I think you owe someone an apology.

SPEAKER_12 1:57:11

Right. Next time I see crookshanks, I'll let him know.

SPEAKER_02 1:57:14

I meant me.

SPEAKER_12 1:57:15

Punch him, Hermione. A pot near Hermione gets broken. Bly me! What was that? Hermione finds a stone that looks a bit like a seashell. Another one comes through the window and hits Harry in the back of the head. Ow! As Harry turns in pain, he sees Dumbledore, Minister Fudge, and the executioner walking down the path towards the hut. I always thought that Lucius should be there with them because he's wanting to see this. But I guess like, do we need Jason Isaac for this role? So let's just cut some costs and not have him there. I'm not sure he's in the book or not. He's very much the person wanting this to happen.

SPEAKER_02 1:57:45

I think he's on the premises. I don't think he's ever at the execution because he there's one scene where he's talking to Dumbledore, I'm pretty sure, back at the castle later in the evening.

unknown 1:57:55

Hmm.

SPEAKER_12 1:57:56

Felt it weird because I was actually typing when I was doing this, say Lucius was there. Wait a second, he's not.

SPEAKER_02 1:58:01

We wish he was there.

SPEAKER_12 1:58:02

Just have another scene with him there, you know? Just get more Lucis. Yeah. Yeah. Hagrid. Hagrid comes over to the window. Oh, Crikey. That sounded more like Steve Irwin. Crikey, mate! Crikey, mate! Oh, Crikey. It's late. It's nearly dark. You shouldn't be here. Someone sees you outside the castle at this time of night. You'll be in trouble. Particularly you, Harry. There is a knock at the door. With you in a moment! Hagrid throws a blanket over the egg creature, which we now know the whole history for. In the corner and ushers Harry, Ron, and Hermione quietly out the back door of the hunt. Harry turns to Hagrid as he leaves. Hagrid, it'll be fine. It'll be okay. It's funny how Hagrid's like, I know, but get out of here, stop wasting time.

SPEAKER_09 1:58:42

Just leave.

SPEAKER_12 1:58:43

Go on! Go on! The trio escape out of the back door as Dumbledore, Fudge, and the executioner go in from the front. The executioner needs to leave his large axe outside. Dumbledore seems to be diverting Minister Fudge and the executioner's attention away from the view of the back door for some reason. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Scabbers run away and hide behind the pumpkin patch so they can see what's happening at the hut still. Fudge explains to Hagrid that Buckbeck, the condemned, shall be executed this day at sundown. Hermione hears a noise in the woods behind her and has a look. What? I thought I just saw Hermione thinks realistically for a moment.

SPEAKER_18 1:59:19

Never mind.

SPEAKER_12 1:59:20

Let's go! The trio take off up the hill. They take one last look back at Buckbeck. Buckbeck gives them a wee chirp. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Scavers watch the heart from the hill above. They watch as the executioner brings down his large axe down where they last saw Buckbeck. Crows fly away and chirp. Hermione leads over to Ron, crying. An injustice was done this day. I mean how many dangerous things are there in the forest nearby? I'm sure they have hurt students but don't get killed. Scabbers bites Ron's finger, which forces Ron to drop him. Scabbers runs away. He bit me, Scabbers! Ron chases after Scabbers while Harry and Hermione chase after Ron. Ron dives and catches Scabbers on the ground near a tree.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:02

Harry, do you realize what tree this is?

SPEAKER_12 2:00:05

Oh, that's not good. Ron, run! Ron looks up at Harry and Hermione, but he also has fear on his face, but not for himself. Harry! Hermione! Run! Harry and Hermione turn around and see a black wolf. Might just be a straggler from a 90s TV show Tux Wonder Dogs. Wonder Dogs! Love that. He used to go over the seesaw and through the tunnel and ever slightly sagility course. Ah, such a good show.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:32

My dog just sleeps all day.

SPEAKER_12 2:00:33

It's the Grim! The Grim charges at Harry and Hermione, but leaps over them and instead charges at Ron. Maybe the Grimm is a hated term in the wolf community. The Grimm grabs Ron's trouser leg and drags him down under the trunk of the womping willow. Harry and Hermione give it a good try to help him though. You can see Harry like diving and trying to reach him, but no. Good effort. All the noise wakes the womping willow. The branches start to move. Harry and Hermione get smacked in the gut by a branch which sends them flying backwards. They get up and watch as the womping willow fully wakes. You can hear the echoes of Ron's screams. Come on. Harry and Hermione do a mad dash through the Womping Willow's attacking branches, avoiding the incoming shots as they make their way to the hole in the base of the trunk. Harry gets hit by a branch which knocks his glasses off to the ground next to him. Hermione does a nice jump to avoid an incoming branch, but gets hit by another. Hermione hangs from the moving branch. Harry almost gets pounded by a thick, sledgehammer type branch, but does a pippin' style roll to avoid it. Like in Two Towers of the Horse.

SPEAKER_09 2:01:47

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:01:47

And he rolls. Harry can't see too well without his glasses.

SPEAKER_03 2:01:51

He can't see without his glasses.

SPEAKER_12 2:01:53

Hermione screams as she is bull riding the branch. Harry ducks and avoids getting clotheslined by the Hermione branch. Harry finds his glasses. Harry! Hermione grabs onto Harry's top, cartoon style. As it takes a few seconds before he takes off with Hermione and the branch, he's like, oh, and then gets pulled. He's like, gets cartoon style. Hermione perfectly aims Harry and throws him into the hole at the base of the trunk. Harry slides and lands on a cave-like passageway. Hermione slides in behind and lands on top of Harry.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:21

Oh, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_12 2:02:23

Don't worry.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:24

Where do you suppose this goes?

SPEAKER_12 2:02:25

I have a hunch. I just hope I'm wrong. Harry leads Hermione on through the passageway. Cats are Harry popping up at a hole in a wooden floor panel. Harry and Hermione enter the room via the hole and look around at an old looking place with a wooden staircase nearby.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:40

We're in the shrieking shack, aren't we?

SPEAKER_12 2:02:42

Come on. Harry leads Hermione up the stairs. You can hear the cries of terror and pain below the shack. Harry and Hermione get to a room upstairs and find the source of the noise. Ron. Harry and Hermione race into the room over to the back corner where Ron is lying in pain.

SPEAKER_02 2:03:00

Ron, you're okay.

SPEAKER_12 2:03:02

The dog. Where is it?

SPEAKER_02 2:03:04

Harry, it's a trap.

SPEAKER_12 2:03:05

He's the dog. He's an anime. Ron points to the corner of the room behind Harry and Hermione. There are wet paw prints that lead to the corner where a man is now standing. It's Sirius Black. Black closes the door and walks towards Harry. Hermione throws herself in front of Harry.

SPEAKER_02 2:03:21

If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too.

SPEAKER_12 2:03:24

No, only one will die tonight. Harry pushes Hermione out of the way and charges at Sirius. Then I'll be you. Oh a whistle at the end there.

SPEAKER_11 2:03:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:03:33

You Harry grabs Sirius by the throat. Sirius falls to the ground with Harry on top of him, strangling them. Harry's back is to the door. Harry pulls out his wand and points at Sirius' forehead. Sirius laughs like a madman.

SPEAKER_08 2:03:48

Are you going to kill me, Harry? I certainly would like to.

SPEAKER_12 2:03:53

Good old Anakin. There is a loud bang. Expeliamus as Lupin comes crashing through the door. Lupin disarms Harry and gestures with a nod at Harry to get to the back where Hermione and Ron are. Lupin points his wand at Sirius on the ground.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:08

Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged, aren't we? Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within.

SPEAKER_12 2:04:14

Well, you would know about the madness within, wouldn't you, Remus? Lupin lowers his wand, smiles, then helps Sirius Black back to his feet. Sirius and Professor Lupin hug. Harry and Hermione can't believe it.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:27

I found him! I know. It's him. I understand.

SPEAKER_12 2:04:30

Let's kill him.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:31

No! I trusted you! And all this time you've been his friend!

SPEAKER_12 2:04:35

Hermione looks back to Harry and Ron.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:37

He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes.

SPEAKER_12 2:04:40

Lupin looks at Hermione.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:42

How long have you known? Since Professor Snape set the essay. Well, well, well, Hermione. You really are the brightest witch of your age I've ever met.

SPEAKER_12 2:04:50

Enough talk, Remus. Come on, let's kill him. Wait! I did my waiting! Twelve years of it! An Azkabon! Professor Lupin looks back at Harry. Lupin then hands his wand to Sirius.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:01

Very well. Kill him.

SPEAKER_12 2:05:03

They really wanted to make Harry think that they wanted to kill him. Could have been more obvious about it here from a start.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:09

Right. They're making it very much a twist. So entrapping. But wait one more minute. Harry has the right to know why.

SPEAKER_08 2:05:15

I know why. You betrayed my parents. You're the reason they're dead. Didn't James and Lily Potter die in a car crash?

SPEAKER_17 2:05:22

A car crash!

SPEAKER_12 2:05:23

A car crash.

SPEAKER_17 2:05:24

Killed Lily and James Potter. It's an outrage.

SPEAKER_12 2:05:28

No, Harry, it wasn't him. Also, a person called Lupin as a werewolf. Very on the nose, and I love it.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:35

Somebody did portray your parents, but it was somebody who, until quite recently, I believed to be dead. Who was it then?

SPEAKER_12 2:05:42

Peter Padigrew! And he's in this room right now.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:47

Come out, come out, Peter! Oh, that line. Every time it's like chills. Come out, come out, Peter! Like he's just so unhinged.

SPEAKER_12 2:05:55

He is. At a start, he's a madman.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:05:58

It's funny though that once he starts talking to Harry again, he starts becoming back to serious. It's just like he's still the prisoner until he starts realizing that Harry's there and all of a sudden it transforms him back to being a normal person.

SPEAKER_02 2:06:10

100%. The book explores it as well with regards to Peter Pettigrew, and even to a point Rita Skeeter later on, um, the longer they spend in their Animagus forms, the more dissociated from their sense of being human they become.

SPEAKER_12 2:06:21

So he was a dog the whole entire time in this movie.

SPEAKER_02 2:06:24

Didn't actually change back to very infrequently was he in human form.

SPEAKER_12 2:06:28

I just thought he was hiding out in the shack. Peter Pettigrew!

SPEAKER_17 2:06:34

Can get together.

SPEAKER_12 2:06:36

Professor Snape appears in the doorway behind Sirius. Come out, come out and play! Snape disarms Sirius. Snape points his wand at Sirius Black.

SPEAKER_09 2:06:48

Vengeance is sweet. How I hoped I'd be the one to catch you.

SPEAKER_12 2:06:54

Severus. Snape points his wand at Lupin and gets him to stand next to Sirius.

SPEAKER_09 2:06:59

I told Dumbledore you were helping an old friend into the castle. Now here's the proof.

SPEAKER_12 2:07:04

Brilliant Snape. Once again you've put your keen and penetrating mind to task, and as usual, come to the wrong conclusion. Now, if you'll excuse me, Remus and I have some unfinished business to attend to. Snape puts his wand to Sirius Black's throat.

SPEAKER_09 2:07:19

Give me a reason, I beg you.

SPEAKER_17 2:07:22

Severus, don't be a fool. He can't help it.

SPEAKER_12 2:07:25

It's habit by now.

SPEAKER_17 2:07:26

Be quiet.

SPEAKER_09 2:07:28

Be quiet yourself, Remus. You two quarrelling like an old married couple.

SPEAKER_12 2:07:33

Why don't you run along and play with your chemistry set? Snape digs his wand deeper into Sirius' throat.

SPEAKER_09 2:07:39

I could do it, you know. But why deny the Dementos? They're so longing to see you. Do I detect a flicker of fear? Oh yes, a Dementor's kiss. One can only imagine what that must be like to endure. It tastes strawberries. It's said to be nearly unbearable to witness, but I'll do my best.

SPEAKER_02 2:08:04

Severus, please.

SPEAKER_12 2:08:06

Harry reaches into Hermione's side pocket and starts pulling out her wand.

SPEAKER_09 2:08:10

After you.

SPEAKER_12 2:08:11

Harry points the wand. Sirius closes his eyes, ready to be hit. Harry quickly changes his direction to Snape.

SPEAKER_09 2:08:19

Expeliarmus.

SPEAKER_12 2:08:20

It's Harry. Well, Harry sounds like Snape. Expeliarmus. Harry blasts Snape into the wall. Okay, how did Harry knock Snape into the wall with a disarming charm?

SPEAKER_02 2:08:32

Well, maybe it was because he said it first in Snape's voice and therefore had more power.

SPEAKER_09 2:08:38

Yeah, that helped.

SPEAKER_12 2:08:39

He was pretty good at that too. He suddenly just liked Snape. Harry! What did you just do? You attacked a teacher! What's next, Harry? Younglings. Harry points his wand at Sirius. Tell me about Peter Pettigrew.

SPEAKER_02 2:08:53

He was at school with us. We thought he was our friend.

SPEAKER_08 2:08:56

No, Pettigrew's dead. You killed him.

SPEAKER_02 2:08:58

No, he didn't. I thought so too until you mentioned seeing Pettigrew on the map.

SPEAKER_08 2:09:03

The map was lying then.

SPEAKER_02 2:09:04

The map never lies.

SPEAKER_12 2:09:06

Pettigrew's alive. And he's right there. Sirius pointed Ron. Me? He's male. No, not you. Your rat. Scabbers has been in my family for twelve years. Curiously long for a common garden rat. He's missing a toe, isn't he? So what?

SPEAKER_08 2:09:23

All they can find of Pettigrew was his finger.

SPEAKER_12 2:09:26

The dirty coward cut it off so everyone think he was dead. And then he transformed into a rat. Show me. Sirius wrestles to get Scabbers away from Ron. Give it to him, Ron. What are you trying to do to him? Sirius gets the hold of Scabbers. Scabbers, leave him alone. Get off him. What are you doing? Sirius puts Scabbers down to hit him with a spell. But Scabbers starts to run off. Sirius misses a couple of times but hits Scabbers with a spell just as he's trying to escape through a hole in the wall. Scabbers turns into a fully sized rat looking man. Like a yeah. Sirius and Lupin pull Peter Pettigrew out of the wall and pull him to his feet. Sirius and Lupin point their wands at the rat man.

SPEAKER_03 2:10:06

Remus? Sirius? My old friends!

SPEAKER_12 2:10:11

Peter tries to make a break to the door, but Lupin and Sirius stop him and shove him back. Peter looks at Harry.

SPEAKER_02 2:10:16

Harry, look at you. You look so much like your father. Like James. We were the best of friends. How dare you speak to Harry? How dare you talk about James in front of him? You sold James and Lily to Voldemort, didn't you? I didn't mean to. The Dark Lord. You have no idea the weapons he possesses. Ask yourself, Sirius, what would you have done? What would you have done?

SPEAKER_12 2:10:37

I would have died rather than betray my friends. Harry blocks the door so Peter can't flee.

SPEAKER_03 2:10:42

Harry, James wouldn't have wanted me killed. Your dad would have spared me. He would have shown me mercy.

SPEAKER_12 2:10:48

Sirius and Lupin yank Peter away from Harry. You should have realized, Peter, that if Voldemort didn't kill you, we would together! No. Harry, this man.

SPEAKER_09 2:10:57

I know what he is, but we'll take him to the castle. Peter drops to his knees.

SPEAKER_03 2:11:02

Bless you, boy! Bless you!

SPEAKER_09 2:11:04

Peter reaches out to Harry. Get off. I said we'd take you to the castle. After that, the Dementors can have you.

SPEAKER_12 2:11:10

Peter starts quivering in fear. Catherine Professor Lupin, Sirius Black, Harry, Ron, and Hermione walking through the underground passage. Harry and Sirius are carrying the injured Ron. Sorry about the bite. I reckon that twinges a bit. A bet! A bet! You almost tore my leg off! Well, I was going for the rat. Normally I have a very sweet deposition as a dog. In fact, more than once James suggested that I make the change permanent. The tail I could live with. But the fleas, they're murder. Sirius laughs, knowing just how funny that joke was. That was not so serious black. The team make it out of the underground passage and arrive back out at the now dormant weeping willow. Ron rests as Sirius walks around looking at all the beautiful nature. Harry is with Ron and Hermione. You better go.

SPEAKER_08 2:11:59

No, no. Don't worry, it's fine, okay? It's fine. I'll stay.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:03

You go, I'll stay. You jump, I jump, right? How many Titanic references have I put in here? Not enough.

SPEAKER_12 2:12:09

A few. Harry gets up and walks over to Sirius.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:13

That looks really painful.

SPEAKER_12 2:12:14

So painful.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:15

They might chop it. I'm sure Madame Pomfrey will fix it in a heartbeat.

SPEAKER_12 2:12:19

It's too late. It's ruined. It'll have to be chopped off. This exchange between Hermione and Ron is during the shot of Harry walking over to Sirius, so I never really paid much attention to it until now. This is like a wee gym for Convo though. Harry arrives next to Sirius, who is looking up at Hogwitz Castle. It's beautiful, isn't it? I'll never forget the first time I walked through those doors. It'll be nice to do it again as a free man. That was a noble thing you did back there. He doesn't deserve it.

SPEAKER_09 2:12:42

Well, I just didn't think my dad would have wanted his two best friends to become killers. Besides dead, the truth dies with him. Alive, you're free.

SPEAKER_12 2:12:49

Can hear Peter in the background pleading with Professor Lupin.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:52

Turn me into a flubble worm. Anything but the Demenders.

SPEAKER_12 2:12:55

Peter crawls towards Ron.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:57

Ron, haven't I been a good pet? You wouldn't let them give me to the Dementers, will you? I was your rat.

SPEAKER_12 2:13:03

Peter turns to Hermione.

SPEAKER_02 2:13:04

Sweet, clever girl, surely you won't. Get away from her.

SPEAKER_04 2:13:09

Get back, I say, or I'll shoot you all like dogs.

SPEAKER_12 2:13:12

Another Titanic. I don't know if you know, Harry. But when you were born, James and Lily may be your godfather.

SPEAKER_08 2:13:20

I know.

SPEAKER_12 2:13:21

But I can understand if you choose to stay with your aunt and uncle. But if you ever wanted a different home.

SPEAKER_08 2:13:25

What?

SPEAKER_12 2:13:26

Come and live with you. Uh well, it was just a thought. I can understand if you don't want to.

SPEAKER_02 2:13:31

I'm sorry, but why are we trusting me and we just meant offering us to live with him?

SPEAKER_12 2:13:34

Exactly. Like later on, I make that point too is like, you're exactly right. You just met him half an hour ago. Yeah. And now you're planning a future with him?

SPEAKER_09 2:13:41

A bit weird.

SPEAKER_12 2:13:42

I think it's just the desperation of Harry wanting to have someone in his life that he really cares for. He now believes Sirius is a good person because of that and because he doesn't have that in his life, he wants to latch onto it straight away. That's why I think he trusts him because he really desperately wants him to be good. Hermione shouts out Harry! Sirius and Harry turn to look at Hermione as she points to the full moon in the sky. Seems to be important. Lupin's heartbeat starts to increase. Both his eyes and body start to transform. Remus, my old friend, have you taken your potion tonight? There's a werewolf potion? Ozan Buffy the vampire slayer had to chain himself up every full moon. He did though.

SPEAKER_09 2:14:18

He did, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:14:18

You know the man you truly are, Remus. This heart is where you truly live. This heart. Here. This flesh. It's only flash. Lupin drops his wand. Peter grabs it. Harry sees Peter grab the wand.

SPEAKER_08 2:14:31

Expell the Armas.

SPEAKER_12 2:14:33

Peter gets disarmed, but smiles and waves at Harry before turning back into a rat and running away, leaving the clothes he magically grew before behind. Shouldn't he have been naked in that wolf with his ass cracked sticking out of them?

SPEAKER_02 2:14:44

No one wants to see that.

SPEAKER_12 2:14:46

Harry goes to chase Rat Peter, but Hermione stops him as Lupin's too close. Sirius is holding Lupin, trying to stop him from fully wolfing out. But it's no use. Lupin goes full werewolf. I recently covered Van Halseen, which has one of the best werewolf transformations in movie history, as well as a decent look twist design. This, however, in my opinion, is one of the worst designs for a werewolf. Looks pretty darn ugly. He has a weird elongated body, less hair than most, with really long and skinny limbs.

SPEAKER_02 2:15:17

But like also, why does it have a strange coma over thing going on?

SPEAKER_12 2:15:20

Yeah, it's odd. It's just hideous. Like if you watch Fed Hells, the people who become werewolves rip their skin off and the werewolves underneath them, it's incredible. But this yeah. Sirius is thrown away. Hermione approaches the wimpy naked mole rat looking Lupin werewolf. Lupin werewolf looks sadly at Hermione.

SPEAKER_02 2:15:36

Professor Lupin.

SPEAKER_12 2:15:37

Lupin werewolf howls. Hoo Startling Hermione, Harry, and Ron. Nice doggy! Nice doggy. Snape comes out of the undertrunk passage and grabs Harry, not realizing Lupin Werewolf is behind him.

SPEAKER_05 2:15:52

There you are, putter.

SPEAKER_12 2:15:54

Snape turns when he hears a roar. You notice Snape's first instinct when he sees Lupin Werewolf is to protect the kids. He puts his arms out to try and shield them. It's very interesting you see that you go back and see what Snape was, and you see that obviously if you haven't seen the last ones, spoilers, but obviously now you can go back and see these moments that Snape really get. Lupin Werewolf swipes at Snape and knocks the whole group to the ground. As Lupin goes to attack the group on the ground, Sirius Dog attacks Lupin' Werewolf, knocking them to the ground. Sirious Dog and Lupin Werewolf get back up. Sirious Dog gets in front to Harry, Snape, and Ron and Hermione to protect them. Loop and Werewolf and Sirious Dog charge at one another, having a vicious dogfight. Sirious Dog gets knocked down but keeps coming back at Lupin Werewolf, stopping Loop and Werewolf from attacking the group. Sirious Dog gets Loop and Werewolf to chase after him, leading Loop and Werewolf away. Sirius. Harry runs after Sirius and Lupin. Come back here, Potter. Harry runs a bit and sees Loop and Werewolf getting the better of Sirius Dog. Harry runs closer to try and help Sirius Dog. Harry throws a rock at Loop and Werewolf. Loop and Werewolf growls at Harry. Harry then realizes what he's fully done and has a oh crap. Moment. As Lupin Werewolf heads towards Harry, he is stopped by a howl in the distance. A female werewolf. Loop and Werewolf run away after the howls in the distance. Harry then sees Sirius Dog collapse nearby. Dog whimpering in pain. Sirius then gets up, back in human form, and he staggers down a hill. Harry then sees Sirius Dog collapse nearby. Dog whimpering in pain. Harry chases after Sirius. Harry runs through some trees and spots Sirius down by the shoreline at the lake. Sirius is unconscious, or maybe dead. Sirius. Sirius! No. Sirius! The water in the lake in the front of Harry and Sirius starts to freeze. The entire lake area is frozen over within seconds. Sirius wakes for a moment, freaking out about something. Harry looks above. The Dementors have found him and are circling above like vultures. There are dozens of them. One of the Dementors comes gliding down and starts sucking on Sirius, then takes off again. Harry takes out his wand and points it at the Dementors in the air.

SPEAKER_08 2:18:03

Expecto patronum!

SPEAKER_12 2:18:05

Harry's wand glows as the patronum chance shields come to his defense, but the Dementors start charging the patronum barrier one by one. But there are too many of them. Harry gets sucked off by a Dementor. More and more Dementors come flying down, sucking Harry and Sirius off as they pass by. Sirius stops moving. A bluish white light emanates from Sirius's mouth. Did the Dementors just take Sirius's soul?

SPEAKER_02 2:18:29

They're about to.

SPEAKER_12 2:18:29

Harry is too weak to fight and can only watch. Harry then looks across the lake as the Dementors float above him. There is a white lighted figure on the other side of the lake. A light in the shape of a stag. A ghost deer, if you will. The glowing stag is pulsating energy but seems to be staring at Harry. There is then a brilliant flash of blinding white light that comes across the lake. The white light shields Harry and Sirius from Dementors who get knocked around by the light's energy pulses. That bluish white light that left Sirius before floats back into his mouth, giving him life once more. Harry starts to pass out. He sees a figure when the light diminishes away, but can't make out who it is. Harry then completely passes out. A voice calls out to Harry in the darkness.

SPEAKER_03 2:19:09

Harry!

SPEAKER_12 2:19:10

Harry starts to wake. He's in Hogwarts hospital.

SPEAKER_09 2:19:12

I saw my dad.

SPEAKER_02 2:19:14

What?

SPEAKER_09 2:19:14

He sent the Dementors away. I saw him across the lake.

SPEAKER_02 2:19:18

Listen, Harry, they've captured Sirius. Any minute the Dementors are gonna perform the kiss.

SPEAKER_12 2:19:22

You mean they're gonna kill him?

SPEAKER_02 2:19:23

No, it's much worse.

SPEAKER_12 2:19:25

Must be Mormon time.

SPEAKER_02 2:19:27

They're gonna suck out his soul.

SPEAKER_12 2:19:29

Dumbledore dramatically comes through the double doors of the hospital wing where Harry and Hermione are. Harry gets off the bed while Hermione walks towards Dumbledore.

SPEAKER_02 2:19:37

Headmaster, you've got to stop them. They've got the wrong man.

SPEAKER_12 2:19:40

It's true, sir. Sirius is innocent. It's Scabbers who did it. Oh yeah, Ron is also lying in a bed due to the leg bites from Sirius's dog. He's just there out the- Oh yeah! Scabbers! He's my rat, sir. He's not really a rat. He was a rat. He was my brother Percy's rat, but then they gave him an owl and The point is we know the truth.

SPEAKER_02 2:19:57

Please believe us.

SPEAKER_13 2:19:58

I do, Miss Granger, but I'm sorry to say the words of three thirteen-year-old wizards, or convince a few others.

SPEAKER_12 2:20:06

Dumbledore walks between Harry and Hermione and walks over to Ron's bed. A child's voice, however honest and true. Dumbledore puts his hand on Ron's sore foot, which causes Ron to wince in pain, saying is meaningless to those who have forgotten how to listen. A large clock chimes nearby outside. This seems to put Dumbledore into a fearful trance as he starts to walk towards the door. Mysterious thing time. Dumbledore walks past Hermione and Harry. Powerful, and when meddled with dangerous. Dumbledore stops by the door. Mysterious Black is in the topmost cell of a dark tower. Dumbledore turns back towards Harry and Hermione.

SPEAKER_13 2:20:45

You know the laws, Miss Granger. You must not be seen, and you will do well, I feel, to return before this last time. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to disgust. If you succeed tonight, more than one innocent life may be spared.

SPEAKER_12 2:21:04

Three turns should do it, I think. Dumbledore walks away out the door and starts to close them. He has one last thing to say before closing them fully.

SPEAKER_13 2:21:10

Oh by the way, when in doubt, I find retracing my steps to be a wise place to begin. Good luck. What the bloody owl was that all about?

SPEAKER_12 2:21:20

Sorry, Ron, but seeing as you can't walk, Hermione pulls out a necklace from under the hoodie. It's really long, so Hermione puts it around both herself and Harry's neck. There is a small golden pendant attached to it with an hourglass in the middle. Harry goes to touch the pendant. Hermione slaps Harry's hand away like a parent to a child. Hermione starts twisting the pendant's device side dial, which flips the hourglass part around. As Hermione lets go, the device starts flipping on its own, as well as making a time-ticking noise. Back in my day, you needed plutonium in a car that could go up to 88 miles per hour to do this. Harry looks around the room as Hermione fully concentrates on the turning pendant. There is a blur of commotion around them, like a 90s music video. People seem to be running them fast forward. The pendant stops turning. It's now daylight. Hermione takes a necklace off Harry. What just happened? Where's Rom?

SPEAKER_02 2:22:09

7.30. Where were we at 7.30?

SPEAKER_12 2:22:11

I don't know. Going to Hagrid's? Hermione grabs Harry by the hand and leads him at the door.

SPEAKER_02 2:22:16

Come on, we can't be seen.

SPEAKER_12 2:22:18

Hermione and Harry start running. The shot going through the gears of the clock is awesome. The shot then looks down on the courtyard outside where you see Harry and Hermione still running. Beautiful the shot that continues. Again later on, it does the same thing with the clock. Some gorgeous shots in this. Harry and Hermione start running across the wooden walkway bridge. Hermione, Hermione, wait. Hermione, will you please tell me what it is we're doing? Hermione stops at the end of the bridge walkway and spies on the events outside. Harry sees what Hermione is looking at. It's Harry. Hermione and wrong with Malfoy and his goons from before. How is this possible? That's us. Hermione has her wand trained on Malfoy. It's just before she punches him in the face.

SPEAKER_09 2:22:57

This is not normal.

SPEAKER_12 2:22:58

Hermione pulls Harry back inside the bridge entranceway. Hermione pulls out the necklace.

SPEAKER_02 2:23:02

This is a time turner, Harry. The Gonagal gave it to me first term. This is how I've been getting to all my lessons all year.

SPEAKER_12 2:23:08

And explains all the random pop-up appearances. You've you mean we've gone back in time?

SPEAKER_02 2:23:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_12 2:23:14

Harry is astonished.

SPEAKER_02 2:23:16

Dumbledore obviously wanted us to return to this moment.

SPEAKER_12 2:23:18

Hermione looks back out at their past selves.

SPEAKER_02 2:23:21

Clearly, something happened that he wants us to change.

SPEAKER_12 2:23:24

Well, first off, not cancelling Briscoe County Jr. in Firefly should be first priority. They watch past Hermione punch Malfoy. Good punch.

SPEAKER_02 2:23:32

Thanks.

SPEAKER_12 2:23:33

Hermione smiles.

SPEAKER_02 2:23:34

Malfoy's coming.

SPEAKER_12 2:23:35

Hermione and Harry hide away through a nearby windowway. They hear Malfoy and his boys running away, saying tough guy things while running cowardly away. Hermione and Harry watch as their past selves and Ron go off to Hagrid's hut. Hermione and Harry watch for the big rock on the hill. Look, Bugbeat's still alive. Hermione has a realization.

SPEAKER_02 2:23:54

Of course. Remember what Dumbledore said? If we succeed, more than one innocent life could be spared. Let's go.

SPEAKER_12 2:24:00

Hermione and Harry hide behind the pumpkin patch near Hagrid's hut. They see their past selves inside with Hagrid. They see Dumbledore, Minister Fudge, and the executioner heading towards the hut. Here they come. I better hurry. Hermione stops Harry.

SPEAKER_02 2:24:13

Fudge needs to see Buckbeck before we steal him. Otherwise he'll think Hagrid set him free.

SPEAKER_12 2:24:18

They watch pass Ron, get given scabbers back by Hagrid. That's Pettigrew. Harry prepares to go charging in after Peter Pettigrew. Hermione stops him.

SPEAKER_02 2:24:26

Harry, you can't.

SPEAKER_08 2:24:27

Hermione, that's the man who betrayed my parents. You don't expect me to just sit there.

SPEAKER_12 2:24:32

Hermione holds Harry back once more.

SPEAKER_02 2:24:34

Yes, and you must.

SPEAKER_12 2:24:35

Hermione leads Harry to another position around the side of the pumpkin patch.

SPEAKER_02 2:24:39

Harry, you're in Hagrid's hut now. If you just go bursting in, you'll think you've gone mad. Awful things happen to wizards who meddle with time, Harry.

SPEAKER_12 2:24:46

Luckily, Cher never found a way to turn back time. If she could find a way, she would take back those words that hurt you, and you would say, We can't be seen.

SPEAKER_02 2:24:58

Fudge is coming.

SPEAKER_12 2:24:59

Yum. I mean, Hermione looks back into her gritarity.

SPEAKER_02 2:25:03

And we aren't leaving?

SPEAKER_12 2:25:04

Hermione looks at the giant pumpkin in front of her. One of those spiral stones that broke the pot earlier is on top of it. It's a pumpkin pipstone. Hermione throws the pipstone through the window and smashes the pot inside the hut. Are you mad? Hermione throws a second pipstone which hits past Harry in the back of the head. Present Harry seems to feel the pipstone pain too. Ow, that hurt. Sorry. So I think he feels it at the same time, doesn't he? Like even that moment he feels the pain again. Harry and Hermione watch as Dumbledore fudge and the executioner get to the door to Hackridge's hut. Past Harry, Ron, and Hermione exit out the back like before.

SPEAKER_02 2:25:39

Come on, we're going out the back door. Go.

SPEAKER_12 2:25:41

Hermione and Harry run to avoid their past salves running into them. Hermione and Harry go into the woods behind the pumpkin patch. They watch their past salves from behind the tree.

SPEAKER_02 2:25:50

Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?

SPEAKER_12 2:25:53

Hermione snaps a branch by mistake, so quickly hides behind the tree to avoid past Hermione seeing her. Seems past Hermione did see her though. Be a bit easier for her mind to comprehend since past Hermione knew about the time turner anyway. Harry and Hermione watch their past versions run off with Ron. They then go back to their position behind the pumpkin patch.

SPEAKER_02 2:26:12

Okay, go, Harry, go.

SPEAKER_12 2:26:13

Harry makes his way around the pumpkins, keeping low and undetected. The crows are all around the pumpkins and are annoying, as their noise can cause Harry to be seen. Some of the crows try and hump Harry's leg.

SPEAKER_16 2:26:27

Give it to me.

SPEAKER_12 2:26:28

Harry carefully makes his way back up to Buckbeak. Harry bows. Buckbeak bowels back from his sitting position. Harry then walks up to Buckbeak's chain that is attached to a nearby post. Harry unchains Buckbeak as well as my heart. Minister Fudge starts to open the front door, but Dumbledore starts talking him into staying inside. So Fudge closes the door and goes back in the hut. Okay, Buckbeak, come quickly. Come with us now, eh?

unknown 2:26:52

Come on.

SPEAKER_12 2:26:52

Harry pulls on Buckbeak's chain, but can't even budge the big bird.

SPEAKER_02 2:26:56

Keep trying. Come on, quickly.

SPEAKER_12 2:26:58

Buckbeak refuses to move. Buckbeak.

unknown 2:27:01

Okay. Quickly. Hurry up. Okay.

SPEAKER_12 2:27:04

Hermione runs off from behind Harry. Hermione then reappears with some dead ferrets.

SPEAKER_02 2:27:09

Come on! Come on, Buckbeak! Come and get the nice dead ferret.

SPEAKER_12 2:27:12

Buckbeak gets up as he wants some ferret. Hermione throws him a ferret to eat. Hermione leads Buckbeak with the second dead ferret as Buckbeak gobbles on the first one. As Harry and Hermione are still leading Buckbeak away, Dumbledore, Minister Fudge, the executioner, and Hagrid come out the door. Dumbledore distracts the group in the opposite direction to where Harry and Hermione are.

SPEAKER_03 2:27:32

Come on, Buckbeak.

unknown 2:27:33

Come on.

SPEAKER_12 2:27:34

Harry and Hermione successfully get Buckbeak away into the nearby woods. Minister Fudge then turns to see that Buckbeak is gone.

SPEAKER_04 2:27:41

Where is it? I saw the beast just now. Not a moment ago.

SPEAKER_12 2:27:44

The group look around but find no Buckbeak. Buckbeak? Hermione, Harry, and Buckbeak watch from behind the trees. Buckbeak keeps nudging Hermione to get the other dead ferrets she has around her neck. Come now, Dumbledore.

SPEAKER_04 2:27:56

Someone's obviously released him.

SPEAKER_12 2:27:58

Hagrid?

SPEAKER_13 2:27:59

I don't think the minister suggests you had anything to do with us, Hagrid. After all.

SPEAKER_12 2:28:03

How could you? You've been with us the whole time. Uh we could have asked someone else to release Buckbeak earlier. You were with us, so clearly no one you asked earlier could have done it for you.

SPEAKER_02 2:28:14

They're the only three people that exist in the world.

SPEAKER_12 2:28:16

Right. Well well, we must search the grounds.

SPEAKER_13 2:28:20

We will search the skies if you must, Minister. Meanwhile, I'd like a nice cup of tea or a large brandy. Oh executioner, your services are no longer required.

SPEAKER_12 2:28:32

Thank you. The executioner raises his axe and cuts down a pumpkin. Now we'll need a second executioner to come and execute the executioner for killing a school pumpkin. Harry and Hermione never saw Buckbeak being executed on that hill after all. It was just a pumpkin. Murder of the pumpkin.

SPEAKER_02 2:28:49

It's a murder in the pumpkin pouch.

SPEAKER_12 2:28:51

Harry and Hermione lead Buckbeak deeper into the forest. Now what?

SPEAKER_02 2:28:55

We save Sirius.

SPEAKER_12 2:28:56

How?

SPEAKER_02 2:28:57

No idea.

SPEAKER_12 2:28:57

Hermione and Harry run up a hill when stop when they have a view of the womping willow.

SPEAKER_02 2:29:02

Look, it's Lupin.

SPEAKER_12 2:29:03

Lupin uses the Imobinus charm on the Womping Willow so he can access the pathway underneath the trunk. He's on his way to confront Harry, Sirius, Ron, and Hermione and the shrieking shack.

SPEAKER_02 2:29:14

And Snape's coming.

SPEAKER_12 2:29:15

Snape follows Lupin through the hidden pathway. And now we wait.

SPEAKER_02 2:29:19

And now we wait.

SPEAKER_12 2:29:20

Tom Petty taught me that the waiting is the hardest part. Every day you see one more card. You take it on faith. You take it to the heart. The waiting is the hardest part. Time passes while Harry and Hermione wait. Some magic bats scatter through the sky. Buckbeak manages to chomp on one of them. Another Batman reference for me. As the bats fly past Harry and Hermione, they see Buckbeak jumping up trying to eat them.

SPEAKER_02 2:29:46

At least someone's enjoying himself.

SPEAKER_09 2:29:47

Yeah, Hermione.

SPEAKER_02 2:29:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 2:29:49

Before, down by the lake, when I was with Sirius, I did see someone. That someone made the Dementors go away.

SPEAKER_02 2:29:55

With a Patronus. I heard Snape telling Dumbledore. According to him, only a really powerful wizard could have conjured it.

SPEAKER_12 2:30:01

Penantella, maybe?

SPEAKER_02 2:30:03

Mysterio.

SPEAKER_08 2:30:04

True. It was my dad. Harry smiles. My dad conjured the Patronus.

SPEAKER_02 2:30:09

Harry, but your dad's dead.

SPEAKER_08 2:30:11

Like Cedric Diggory will be in a year. I know. I'm just telling you what I saw.

SPEAKER_18 2:30:15

Here we come.

SPEAKER_12 2:30:16

Hermione and Harry can see Sirius. Past Harry, past Hermione, Peter, Lupin, and Ron. You can see Sirius talking to me there. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_08 2:30:24

He's asking me to live with him.

SPEAKER_12 2:30:25

That's great. He sounds so bored. Whatever.

SPEAKER_09 2:30:29

When we free him, I'll never have to go back to the Dursleys. It will just be me and him at Dracula's estate. We could live in the country, someplace you can see the sky.

SPEAKER_12 2:30:39

Harry's knowing Sirius for what? A couple of hours? And he's already planning their future together? What if he's a hoarder?

SPEAKER_09 2:30:45

I think he'll like that after all those years in Azkaban.

SPEAKER_12 2:30:49

The light on Harry's face turns into a moon glow blue. They see Professor Lupin change from afar and see their previous selves in danger.

SPEAKER_08 2:30:57

Let's ago.

SPEAKER_10 2:30:58

Let's go!

SPEAKER_12 2:30:59

Let's a go. Harry and Hermione run through the forest tracking Lupin, Werewolf, and Sirius Dog. They see Harry confront Lupin Werewolf. Hermione starts making a howling noise. It was Hermione doing it all along. What are you doing? Saving your life. Hermione howls again.

SPEAKER_00 2:31:16

Oh Thanks.

SPEAKER_12 2:31:18

Loop and Werewolf starts running towards them. Great. Now it's coming for us.

SPEAKER_02 2:31:22

Yeah, I didn't think about that. Run!

SPEAKER_12 2:31:25

Harry and Hermione start running for their lives. Loop and werewolf in hot pursuit. Harry and Hermione stop and hide behind a massive tree. The girth of the trunk is incredible. They move around the tree to avoid detection from loop and werewolf. As they move backwards around the tree, they are unaware that loop and werewolf is stalking them from behind. They turn and come face to face with Loop and Werewolf. As Harry shields Hermione and prepares to get attacked, there is a loud screech. Buckbeak intercepts Lupin Werewolf and attacks. Getting whacked by a giant bird telling would be nasty. Lupin Werewolf runs off. Hermione is shaken by the near-death experience.

SPEAKER_03 2:32:01

That was so scary.

SPEAKER_08 2:32:03

Poor Professor Lupin's having a really tough night.

SPEAKER_12 2:32:06

A chilling breeze comes in. Hermione and Harry look up to the sky. The Dementors are on their way to the lake. Sirius. Come on. Harry runs ahead of Hermione and sees past Harry and Sirius being sucked off by the Dementors from across the lake.

SPEAKER_02 2:32:19

This is horrible.

SPEAKER_08 2:32:21

Don't worry. My dad will come. He'll conjure the Patronus.

SPEAKER_12 2:32:24

They continue to watch the Dementors attack past Harry and Sirius. Any minute now.

SPEAKER_08 2:32:29

Right there you'll see.

SPEAKER_02 2:32:30

Harry, listen to me.

SPEAKER_08 2:32:32

Listen to me now.

SPEAKER_02 2:32:34

No one's coming.

SPEAKER_08 2:32:35

Don't worry. He will. He will come, Sirius.

SPEAKER_02 2:32:39

You're dying. Both of you.

SPEAKER_12 2:32:41

Harry charges forward.

SPEAKER_02 2:32:42

Harry!

SPEAKER_12 2:32:43

Harry sticks out his wand and in a commanding and heroic voice says Expecto Patronum! Harry's wand lights up with a massive white glow and pulsates a massive energy wave. The energy protects past Harry and Sirius by knocking the Dementos away. Again, very religious undertones here with the angelic voices in the score. Harry's wand stops glowing. Harry breathes heavily as the energy he used there was immense. Cut to Harry and Hermione flying on Buckbeak's back.

SPEAKER_09 2:33:11

You are right, Hermione. It wasn't my dad I saw earlier. It was me. I saw myself conjuring the Patronus before. I knew I could do it this time because, well, I had already done it. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_02 2:33:23

No, but I don't like flying.

SPEAKER_12 2:33:25

Buckbeak starts diving down towards Hogwarts Castle as Hermione screams. Cut to Sirius in a prison cell at the top of the dark tower. The zoom anonymous are nice shot, so it zooms in from the cell into Sirius?

SPEAKER_09 2:33:36

It's quite quick as well.

SPEAKER_12 2:33:37

Very nice shot. Hermione and Harry show up outside a cell.

SPEAKER_18 2:33:40

Bombarder!

SPEAKER_12 2:33:41

Hermione opens Sirius' cell with an explosive charm. Why not Alohemora? Maybe it had a like enchantment on the lock to stop people from opening. Harry, Hermione, and Sirius fly away on Buckbeak. Sirius laughing with delight. Buckbeak lands in the Hogwarts courtyard. Sirius, Harry, and Hermione get off Buckbeak. I'll be forever grateful for this to both of you. I want to go with you. One day, perhaps, for some time my life will be too unpredictable. And besides, you're meant to be here. But you're innocent. Hermione walks away and confronts Buckbeck so Harry and Sirius can have a moment. And you know it. And for now, that will do. I expect you're tired of hearing this, but you look so much like your father, except for your eyes.

SPEAKER_16 2:34:23

Those horrible yellow eyes!

SPEAKER_08 2:34:25

You have my mother's eyes.

SPEAKER_12 2:34:27

It's cruel that I spent so much time with James and Lily, and you so little. But know this the ones that love us never really leave us, and that you can always find them. Sirius places his palm over Harry's heart. And here, Sirius walks back over to Buckbeak and gets on his back. Sirius looks at Hermione as he holds the chains of Buckbeak like horse reins. You really are the brightest witch of your age. Sirius, hayaz! The chains! Buckbeak takes off into the air. The clock starts chiming. Hermione grabs Harry by the arm.

SPEAKER_02 2:34:55

We have to go.

SPEAKER_12 2:34:56

Harry and Hermione run off. There is another sweeping shot. There is another sweeping shot through the clock tower. Hermione and Harry arrive up at the top of the clock tower just as Dumbledore is closing the doors. Dumbledore turns to see Hermione and Harry sliding to a stop.

SPEAKER_13 2:35:09

Well?

SPEAKER_12 2:35:10

He's free. We did it. Did what? Good night. Dumbledore walks off. Hermione and Harry go back into the hospital wing to see Ron. They see their past selves disappear through time. How did you get there? Here were I was talking to you there and now you're there.

SPEAKER_09 2:35:25

Uh magic run?

SPEAKER_02 2:35:27

What's he talking about, Harry?

SPEAKER_09 2:35:28

I don't know.

SPEAKER_08 2:35:29

Honestly, Ron.

SPEAKER_12 2:35:30

How can somebody be in two places at once? They both laugh. Messing with mates is the best. Cut to the womping willow in the daytime. Another poor bird runs into it. Cut to Harry in the defense against the dark arts classroom. He walks towards Professor Lupin's office. Harry is about to knock on the open door as Professor Lupin is looking away towards a bookshelf.

SPEAKER_02 2:35:51

Hello, Harry.

SPEAKER_12 2:35:52

Harry is confused.

SPEAKER_02 2:35:54

I saw you coming.

SPEAKER_12 2:35:54

Lupin uses his wand to pack away a case. Harry notices marks on Professor Lupin's face. I've looked worse, believe me. You've been sacked?

SPEAKER_02 2:36:02

No. No, I resigned, actually.

SPEAKER_09 2:36:05

Resigned? Why?

SPEAKER_02 2:36:06

The change from Coke to Pepsi. There are just some things I can't sacrifice. Also, it seems that somebody lets slip about the nature of my condition. This time tomorrow, the owls will start arriving and parents will not want an um well, someone like me teaching their children.

SPEAKER_08 2:36:21

But Dumbledore?

SPEAKER_02 2:36:22

Dumbledore has already risked enough on my behalf. Besides, people like me are well, let's just say I'm used to it by now.

SPEAKER_12 2:36:29

Lupin uses his wand to pack up another case.

SPEAKER_02 2:36:32

Why do you look so miserable, Harry?

SPEAKER_08 2:36:33

None of it made any difference. Pettigrew escaped.

SPEAKER_02 2:36:36

Didn't make any difference. Harry, it made all the difference in the world. You helped uncover the truth. You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate. It makes a great deal of difference. If I am proud of anything, it's of how much you've learnt this year. Now, since I'm no longer your teacher, I feel no guilt whatsoever about giving this back to you.

SPEAKER_12 2:36:56

Professor Lupin points Harry to the Marauders map on the table.

SPEAKER_02 2:37:00

So now say goodbye, Harry. I feel sure we'll meet again sometime. Until then, mischief managed.

SPEAKER_12 2:37:06

The map folds and goes blank once more. Professor Lupin carries his things out the door. Harry watches Professor Lupin leave. Another defense against Dark Arts teacher is gone within the air. Cut to the Great Hall. The ghosts are still playing chase with the head on horseback. Ron is talking with some other Gryffindors around him when Harry walks in. Harry! Wherever did you get it? Can I have a go, Harry? After you, of course. What are you talking about? Quiet! Let the man through. I didn't mean to open it, Harry. It was badly wrapped. Ron points at Fred and George. They made me do it. Harry removes the brown paper from the already opened parcel. It's a broomstick.

SPEAKER_06 2:37:43

It's a firebolt.

SPEAKER_09 2:37:44

It's the fastest broom in the world. For me?

SPEAKER_12 2:37:47

But who sent it? No one knows. Hermione pulls out a large grey feather. This came with it. Whoa! Hippogriffs can buy things.

SPEAKER_02 2:37:55

I mean. He's a particularly awesome hippogriff.

SPEAKER_12 2:37:59

Imagine him going into the shop just randomly paying with a massive Hippogriff. Oh, you want the fireball, do you? Wow. That would be 3,000 coins. The group run to the courtyard outside. Harry excitedly gets on his new fireball broom. Harry rockets off at an insane speed. At freeze frames on Harry soaring through the air. Probably my least favorite shot in the film. It also reminds me of Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2 when he's in the raindrops keep falling on my head montage. At the end at freeze frames with him. End of movie. Now that we've gone through the movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Escobar, let's go to our ratings. Nobody doesn't bin it. Harry Potter. Right, so let's get to our ratings. Since I started the podcast with only two hosts, only two rating scores will count. It helps keep the balance in the ratings. Therefore, since there are three of us here today, my score will not count on the official charts. I'll still give you my scores, but only Gemma and Tenzin's ratings will count. You might say my ratings have been locked away in Azkaban.

SPEAKER_03 2:39:03

Twelve years!

SPEAKER_12 2:39:05

Right, so let's go through the ratings. So let's start off with Story. Tenzin, what have you given Story?

SPEAKER_09 2:39:10

I've given Story four and a half. I really liked the story of this movie and like the pacing of it, atmosphere, and all of that was just perfectly told, in my opinion. So yeah, four and a half. And Gemma.

SPEAKER_02 2:39:22

I gave it a three and a half. I feel like there's a couple little plot holes, there's a couple bits that feel a bit rushed, and it's never going to measure up to the depth of story in the book.

SPEAKER_12 2:39:31

I have given it a four out of five. I think the story really steps up the maturity. Like Chamber of Secrets, we talked about got darker from Philosopher's Stone, but this one really brings up the horror and the kind of like, okay, Harry needs to grow up fast here because everything around him's changing. And this really starts to bring in the longer-term storytelling. Like there was a little bit in that in Chamber of Secrets, obviously of Tom Riddle and whatnot, but with Sirius coming in, Lupin coming in, you're getting these characters that are gonna keep popping back up in the next few movies. I've also Peter Pettigrew, him bringing back Voldemort in the next movie. This really kicks off where all that kind of starts kicking in. I'm a sucker for time travel. I always like when I go back in time. So yeah, that was really well done. Awesome. And I wasn't expecting that when I first saw the movie because I hadn't read the book at the time. So when I saw that it's time travel, I was like, there's time travel in this?

SPEAKER_02 2:40:15

Pop off.

SPEAKER_12 2:40:16

So yeah, four out of five. Acting, Gemma, what have you given acting out of five?

SPEAKER_02 2:40:21

I've given it a four. I reckon it's pretty solid. You got some really good performances from Gary Oldman in particular. And then the kids are still kids, still figuring it out, but on the whole, I think it's actually pretty solid.

SPEAKER_09 2:40:32

And Tenzin. I've given three and a half, basically for similar reasons to Gemma. I think a lot of like the old school actors really enhance their performances more than the kids do. As we mentioned, Daniel Raycliffe hasn't quite gotten his emotional sort of grasp of the character down yet. That's why I pulled my rating back a bit. But overall, you know, it can't complain. The acting is relatively good.

SPEAKER_12 2:40:55

For me, I have given acting a four out of five. I think everyone's gotten better. Like I think it's less overdramatic and more like less bordered in from the kids. Hermione was always a great actress anyway. But I think especially um Harry, even though he's not there yet, he's a lot better than he was in the previous movies. And the extra inclusions of Professor Trelawney, Ember Thompson, you got Professor Lupin, you got Sirius Black, you got all these extra ones that add more layer to the whole thing. And there's so many characters in this. I'm not doing the character list for this whole review. There are so many people on this, and all of them are great actors. Wormtail, the guy who plays Wormtail, he's been in other things, he's an amazing actor.

SPEAKER_09 2:41:32

Yeah, great British actor.

SPEAKER_12 2:41:33

I'll give it a four. I might give it a five because it's say it's not perfect, it's not there yet, but four out of five, I think, is a good way of doing it. Four, how well does it hold up? I have given it a five out of five. When I first saw this, I liked this less. As I've watched this more and more over the years, I liked this way more than I ever did. It took me a while to get used to the changes. I think the changes in the atmosphere have been a lot different, more mature. It threw me off because I was expecting more whimsical, more magical experience. You don't get that, but then you realize when you go back and watch other ones how this progresses the story so well and how much better it is for it. So I give it a five out of five because I think it's actually holds up really well. The CGI for the most part is pretty incredible still, like I said with Buckbeak. It's all looks really good, and there's nothing I watch from this go, oh, that's rather jarring when it comes to special effects. Even the clock tower looks amazing, and it's all CGI, of course. So yeah, I'd give it a five because I think it's really held up well. Tenzin.

SPEAKER_09 2:42:24

I've given it a four, basically for similar reasons to you. I think looking back at probably all of them, this is probably the one that's aged probably the best, to be honest. Even like some of the later ones, I feel, probably haven't aged as well as this one. But as you mentioned, Buck Beak and a lot of the CG still looks like really strong. So yeah, I've given a solid four.

SPEAKER_12 2:42:44

And Gemma, how well's the hold up for you?

SPEAKER_02 2:42:46

To mirror everything that's been said, I gave it a four and a half. Much the same things. I feel like it's let down by just a couple little bits that over time, like to me, the whole werewolf thing does let it down. I look at it now and like at the time it was cool, even if it was a weird depiction of a werewolf, and now I just go, ugh.

SPEAKER_12 2:43:02

Yeah, that's all great. Yeah. Right, so for music, Gemma, what have you given them?

SPEAKER_02 2:43:06

Five. Five? I love the Harry Potter soundtracks. Amazing, exceptional music.

unknown 2:43:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 2:43:11

Uh for me, four and a half. I think John Williams uses some variations in the score. Like, I really remember and recognize the theme of like when Harry does the Patronus spell and the choir, as you mentioned, is like really, really haunting and like, as you said, a religious experience, which I definitely agree with. So it's nice that he kind of introduces some more themes and ideas to the score. So yeah, that's why I've given four and a half.

SPEAKER_12 2:43:38

I've given it a four out of five. I think John Williams and his fine this is his final time composing for Harry Potter. It shows you his genius. This is a completely different director, completely different tone, completely different atmosphere. Yeah, he cases his music for what the director needs, not for what he thinks should be the soundtrack. First two was very whimsical and magical, and this one he pulls it back to be more serious, more dark, more cold, more chilling. Like the scenes and stuff in the train. You hear the violins and stuff, it's very violent, it's very obtrusive. To your mind, it feels like something's coming that's unwelcome, and he's so good at that. And sometimes just won't put music in places if it doesn't need it. One example was Jurassic Park. The whole T-Rex paddock scene. There's no music, it's just rain. All we hear is the rain coming down. John Williams is a genius, and this shows you again, he can adapt to be anything you need him to be. I think that's his greatest strength over like Danny Alfman and everything like that. Danny Alpin's a great composer, but I don't feel like he adapts like John Williams can adapt to anything he needs it to be. Yeah, I gave it a four. I didn't give it a five because obviously they're reusing a lot of the themes that they have in previous ones, so I don't feel like there's a lot new or like amazing, incredible in you, but just the way that he uses the music to tell the story and create the tone, I think still well enough to get a four out of five. For visuals, iconic shots or moments, I have given it a five out of five. This, in my opinion, now looking back at it, I never really looked at this until probably the last couple of times I've watched President of Razigaban. This is the best shot Harry Potter film out of all the Harry Potter films. The shots he gets through the clock tower, tracking shots of Harry going through Trelawney's room, just seeing all these different shots that you see brought into it, like the hippogriff going across the water for the first time and touching the water. It's really incredible shots. Columbus did a good job. There might be some iconic shots, but this one is more artistically showing you just some shots that you didn't know you needed until you watched us and go, holy crap.

SPEAKER_09 2:45:30

That's Alfonso Carran's like influence, big time.

SPEAKER_12 2:45:33

And you can tell this is like no other Harry Potter. Next one after that, like Gulf World of Fire and whatnot, don't have these kind of similar kind of artistic shots. They just kind of go back to what kind of works more, which is fine because it's a big, massive blockbuster, but the fact that he took such artistic choices in a franchise that's already been established and we're trying to create a new atmosphere, I think was well done. Bravo. What have you given?

SPEAKER_09 2:45:55

I've given visuals four and a half basically for similar reasons to you. There's so many iconic shots in this film that have stuck with me for a long time over the years. Like even just the hands of the Dementor on the train carriage or the look of the playground at the beginning. Yeah, just that real dark, haunting atmosphere. But also the great shot of all of the Dementors coming towards the castle when they first get to Hogwarts as well. Like their image is just imprinted in my mind. So yeah, four and a half for me. Amazingly well shot the movie.

SPEAKER_12 2:46:28

And Gemma.

SPEAKER_02 2:46:29

All the same reasons, I also gave it a five. And I feel like my score was actually upgraded as we went through the podcast, and you guys were remarking on the shots as we went, because otherwise I would have said, Yeah, it was beautiful, but perhaps wouldn't have realized how impactful they were without their discourse. So it's yeah, I was probably sitting at more of four to four and a half, but after now we're at a five.

SPEAKER_12 2:46:50

That's the beautiful thing about going back and seeing these again. Even if you've seen the movies 10 times, if you see something new for the first time, that can completely turn how you see it. This is what's great about these Harry Potter films is you go back, you see more each time you go back. So I'll just go through what I've given. So for story, I gave it a four out of five. For acting, I gave it a four out of five. For how well it holds up, I gave it a five out of five. For music, I gave it a four out of five. And for visuals, iconic, amazing shots or moments, I gave a five out of five, which gave me a 22 out of a possible 25 stars. Of course, mine don't matter, but hey, I gave it a top props. And Jimmer.

SPEAKER_02 2:47:24

So to recap, we had three and a half stars for story, four for acting, four and a half for how it holds up, five for music, and five for visuals, leading to a grand total of twenty two.

SPEAKER_09 2:47:35

And Tenzin. So for story I've got four and a half. Acting I've got three and a half stars. How well it holds up, four stars. Music, four and a half stars, visuals, four and a half stars, leading to twenty-one.

SPEAKER_12 2:47:47

If we add those both up, we get a grand total of forty three stars out of a possible fifty. So with 43 stars, where does that put us on the NDIB ratings? So with 43 stars, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is in 10th place by itself. So we have a brand new top 10 with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban getting 10th on its lonesome. It's just behind Spider-Man from 2002, but it's just ahead of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. So this is now the best reviewed Harry Potter we've done so far. The highest reviewed, as they say best, they're all fun. Top 10. I think that's a really good rating for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Ascaban. I think it's it's hailed as one of the best ones. I never really saw it as that until more recently, but the more I watch it, the more they really enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_09 2:48:37

It definitely grows on you, eh?

SPEAKER_12 2:48:38

Absolutely. Right, so now that we've completed our ratings for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Ascaban. Tenzin, any final thoughts on Prisoner of Ascabon?

SPEAKER_09 2:48:46

Yeah, I mean it's definitely a great movie. I've enjoyed going back to it a lot over the years. If I wasn't gonna re-watch the entire series, it would be the one that I'd oh, you know, if you like watching a Harry Potter movie, I'll put it on. It's age definitely the best of them all. Yeah, it's probably my favorite of the Harry Potter movies.

SPEAKER_12 2:49:05

Now it's top the highest in the NDA B rating, so I think it sits just right where it is.

SPEAKER_09 2:49:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:49:10

And Gemma, any final thoughts on Prisoner of Azcaban?

SPEAKER_02 2:49:13

Yeah, I mean, I still stand by the fact that while it is an objectively excellent film, it's beautiful, I enjoy it, it is still not my favourite Harry Potter film. It's probably not my least favourite though. Maybe The Goblet Fire is the least. I don't know. Maybe I should go back on my statements from the beginning. But for me, Harry Potter, each movie in and of itself, it doesn't stand alone. It's all one giant experience. And this is a great instalment in that, but there are still other parts of the story that I think I enjoy more just from a storytelling perspective. But excellent movie. I think it's in a great place in the rankings here. I would agree with where it's at 100%. And now that I'm looking at it, I am sad that we didn't put Titanic a little bit higher, to be honest. But yeah, great movie. Enjoyed it. I think I enjoyed playing through it beat by beat with you guys more than I did watching it recently, though.

SPEAKER_12 2:50:01

That's the fun of the podcast. So it's reliving it but through a different lens and having fun just talking about it. Well I find about these podcasts is it's just us chatting about movies we love and see. Even if we have things on the chance, never at a critical eye. More about how much we love something rather than how much we don't like something. Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Escoban is a movie that I have come to enjoy more and more over the years. The change in style eventually won me over as I feel it really worked as the story got darker and darker. The director Alfonso Caron had an interesting style to his camera work that I really enjoyed. So many great shots in this one. Jimmer Tenzin, thank you for joining me.

SPEAKER_02 2:50:36

Thank you for having us.

SPEAKER_09 2:50:37

Yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_12 2:50:38

It's always good to come back. It's been two years since Harry Potter. I know I released Chamber of Secrets last year, but that was recorded back in 2023. It's good to be back in the saddle, and yeah, I am looking forward to doing The Gob with the Fire later in the year. I'll say it now to put pressure on me.

SPEAKER_17 2:50:54

Yeah, I'll put it out in the universe.

SPEAKER_12 2:50:56

So thank you, both of you. Honestly, thank you so much for this. It's been so much fun. And thank you for listening. Remember, some others may do it better, but nobody does it, Bennett. Take care.

unknown 2:51:06

Kaki Day.

SPEAKER_01 2:51:07

It's the end of the show. Now it's time to go. Don't be sad. Just be nobody. Nobody. Nobody
