The movie grossed $796.6 million worldwide, [[AcclaimedFlop but it's the lowest-grossing movie of the series]]. Among the other seven, ''Prisoner of Azkaban'' also received the worst ranking among the top 50 highest-grossing movies ever, at #41. But hey--at least it scored some AcademyAward nominations.

What differentiates ''POA'' from the [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone first]] [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets two]] movies is that it develops a highly non-linear path from [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban the book]]--the exact opposite of what Creator/ChrisColumbus would've done. Anyone who hasn't read the book will find the film incomprehensible and quite [[{{Wangst}} wangsty]]. These changes helped cement the movie as one of the most controversial of the eight--as well as [[TrueArtIsAngsty one of the best]]. Cuaron's twist on the story as well as the DarkerAndEdgier tone was lauded by critics, to the point where it placed among Empire's top 500 greatest movies list. It also did damn good on the [[Website/RottenTomatoes Tomatometer]] with a 91% rating.

** Lupin teaching Harry's class how to deal with the Boggart, a magical creature that is warded off with the combination of a spell and positive thoughts, foreshadowing him teaching Harry how to deal with Dementors.
*** In this class, we learn that the Boggart can take on the form of a person's greatest fear. When Lupin pushes himself in front of Harry to protect him from the Boggart-as-Dementor, the boggart turns into [[spoiler:a full moon. Why a full moon?]] Hmmmm...
*** In the very next scene in the movie, [[spoiler:Snape has to cover Lupin's class (because Lupin is "unable to teach at the moment" and he jumps ahead a few chapters to do a lesson on werewolves. He then finds an excuse to assign the entire class (or maybe it's just Gryffindor) to write up a report on werewolves, focusing on recognizing them, due the next day.]]
