'Orrible eh? An' you know what Black did then" Stan continued in a dramatic whisper. "What?" said Harry "Laughed," said Stan. "Jus' stood there an' laughed." We're here to welcome our viewers back both old and new to the next installment on this fabled Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Review & Evaluation Part 1! This week we will cover the events detailed in our outline from the beginning of the book through Chapter 9 "Grim Defeat". With the Prisoner of Azkaban being one of the big turning points in the series, Chase & Josh will be tackling this book/movie in a 4 episode sequence. Outlined points will be Favorite Moments, Foreshadowed Events, Potential Plot Holes/Discrepancies, Interesting Facts and lastly, our Top 5 Magical Creatures that appear in this story (this ranking will appear on episode 3). This volume jumps right out of the gate with some memorable scenes where Harry and Uncle Vernon's sister get into a heated altercation, a certain bus makes its appearance for the first time and we learn about a fateful escape from one of the world's most feared prisons. Stay with us along the rails of the Hogwarts Express as the Riddikulus Crew meander through big key moments that come into play later on in the series with the debut of a certain Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher, the guards of Azkaban making their presence felt and a traitor in the golden trio's midst, you don't want to miss this! In the words of Peeves the Poltergeist, "Nasty temper he's got, that Sirius Black."
