If the actors playing Harry, Ron, and Hermione end up two or three years older than those characters by the time the last books are filmed, what would you prefer happen? I’d rather the same actors play the characters in all seven films I’d rather new actors who are the right ages take over in later films Take another poll

The third Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, opened on May 30, 2004, in the United Kingdom and June 4, 2004, in the United States. As readers of the books know, the third one introduces the character of Sirius Black, brilliantly played here by Gary Oldman. At the start, he has just escaped from Azkaban, a maximum-security wizard prison, and is believed to be on his way to attack Harry Potter at Hogwarts. Dementors—a sort of magical prison guard—are sent to Hogwarts to try to stop him. By the end of the book (and the movie), we learn some surprising things about Sirius, and about the night Harry’s parents were killed.
We also meet Professor Lupin (played by David Thewlis), the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, who turns out to have secrets of his own. The last two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors made it through only one year at Hogwarts each; will he turn out to be different? And there’s Professor Trelawney (Emma Thompson), the Divination professor whose predictions sometimes actually come true.
