Two Harry Potter movie fans sit down to discuss the third instalment in the franchise with a self-confessed Potter hater and someone who didn’t even bother to watch the film.
J.K. Rowling's fantasy novel series for younger readers garnered huge success in its own right before it was adapted for the big screen in 2001 with the release of the first cinematic instalment, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The third highest-grossing film series of all time with an estimated worldwide box office totalling almost $8bn, both the novels and films have captured the imaginations of children and adults alike. Bad Dad Peter Andre, whose hulking physical form belies an individual with the mental acuity of a slightly damp lettuce leaf, is a huge fan as is Sidey, but what will the sceptical Reegs or the oblivious Dan make of this?
At Peter's insistence we drop in to the 3rd entry in the series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Widely regarded as the moment where the franchise grew up, and directed by the incredible Alfonso Cuarón, Prisoner of Azkaban adds Gary Oldman, Michael Gambon, Emma Thompson and David Thewlis to an already star filled cast. The story follows Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts where he is informed that Oldman's Sirius Black, a mysterious figure who has escaped the inescapable Azkaban prison, has an apparent intention to kill the young wizard.
As we all eagerly await Peter’s first blog post - his crayon-stained, bloated sausage fingers hammering letters on a keyboard essentially at random - why not bide your time listening to us dissect this modern classic, our first foray into the Potterverse.
We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com.
Until next time, we remain...
