Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

I just returned home from an evening out with Andrew celebrating the end of another successful academic year, brilliant grades, and his first paying job (working in the organic chemistry lab) making and researching quantum dots. In fact, today was his first successful batch of quantum dots!

Alan and I got him a nifty little digital sound recorder with a rather nice built in camera. He wanted one so he could capture his summer session organic chemistry professor's lectures and then save them to files on his PC.

We decided to complete the celebration by watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on IMAX. So we met at the cinema near Lincoln Center and after buying tickets strolled up Broadway to a restaurant. A pleasant dinner, good food and good talk. Then back to the cinema for the much awaited Harry Potter 3 film.

I'm still thinking about it and deciding how I liked it as well as how much I liked it. It's not a simple decision as the first 2 films were. They were ace, they were brilliant, they were the book and the fantasy come to life. This one is different. I wouldn't bother seeing it on IMAX if you have a proper widescreen cinema.

I'll post my critque of the film later. Right now it's coffee and a cigarette time.
