- Best

In my opinion, this was the best harry potter movie and best soundtrack, under the guidance of the amazing John Williams. Reminds me of the old 2004 video game on my old windows xp... good times.

- Riddikulus 🎼, please

I would appreciate it if you could add the "Riddikulus 🎼" to this album, because it's funny.

- Enjoyable

"Buckbeak's Flight" is where it's at. It's fun, gives you chills, and feels like you could fly into the sky listening to the track. Of course, "A Window to the Past" is wonderful, as is "Double Trouble" (it's just a fun little song, although I don't know what MacBeth has to do with Harry Potter...but it's fun!), and "Lupin's Transformation" is actually kind of orchestrally intense, specifically because there are a lot of short notes, and the strings nailed it. Well played! Fun album....love the fourth album much more than this (the "Voldemort" track is my absolute favorite!!!) but this album is good as well.

- AMAZING!

In my opinion, this is the best Harry Potter movie, and that is mostly to do with how the music "sets the scene." Absolutely brilliant!

- Best Harry Potter Soundtrack Of All

I've listened to (and seen) all the HP soundtracks/movies, even Deathly Hallows part 2, which is extremely emotional :'( and beautiful. But even that can't top the Prisoner of Azkaban score. It's my FAVORITE because it has that magical, HP feel (including the actual theme!) and is just breathtaking, especially "Window to the Past," but also keeps its mischevious feel in "Double Trouble." Please purchase this! It's fantastic.

- Assom

I love all the songs

- Harry potter

I'm on this book!!

- Good, needs more happy themes

It's great, it just doesn't sound like J.W. did in the past two movies. If anything, I would suggest more joyful themes, like "Leaving Hogwarts", or "Harry's Wonderful World". But still great as I love all the HP soundtracks.

- brings me back... :)

To deal with my Post Potter Depression I decided to listen to my favorite songs from HP. How I missed this album. Though not as good as the HP 7 part 2 album this is a close second. My favorite songs are the theme ( of course :D ) double trouble, Buckbeaks flight ( always makes me wish I was Harry in that scene) , Hagrid the Professor and A Window to the Past ( that one makes me want to cry because it was one of my favorite Lupin scenes ever! :') . Though not the same as the other albums to me this one matched the movie ( and book) perfectly. LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER !! :D

- John William's finest recent work

THis is the culmination of all the Harry Potter music by Sir John Williams. All of the previous themes and many new and memorable ones (Buckbeak's flight in particular) come together to create a concise musical landscape to accompany one of the most successful movie franchises of all time. Fans of the books and films will enjoy how the full orchestral score evokes the places, characters and events of the movie and give an emotional urgency and depth to the wizarding world. I rarely give such high praise in a public forum to anything that is commercially successful and already well known and appreciated, but this really is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, and I have a collection of between 50 and 60 movie scores. In addition, MIschief Managed rolls a little bit of each highlight from this soundtrack into a lengthy, but manageable, package. If that track was avialable as an individual download it would be a must-have for anyone that claims to be a fan of the HP media empire. In any event, I would still recommend the full album.

- Written by: Overrated Expert in Music Clichés

This is pretty original, for John Williams. I mean, I know that we're all supposed to worship him because he made the themes everyone knows, but all it takes is to watch the movies he composes for to find out that they basically sound the same, and make the same sound effect when falling, fighting, running away, or getting afraid. Alfonso Cuáron actually had the skill to successfully get John Williams to make this sound somewhat not like Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones and any of the other franchises he composes for. It seems like other directors caught on quick, because if memory serves correctly, he has not made another movie since this.

- Buckbeak

AMAZING!!! the only thing is he retitled "Hedwig's theme" i don't get the point of that. BUT BUCKBEAK'S FLIGHT IS LIKE MY THEME SONGl! accually yelled "WAAAOOH!" like harry in the movie! EPIC ALBUM!!! i also LOVE the whomping willow!! I can just imagine the part when hermione clutches onto the tree and screams, and harry's looking for his glasses!

- Good Songs

These are good songs I like knight bus

- wow

this is one of my favorite soundtracks from the HP series. i love the dynamics of the sound and how its much darker than the first two soundtracks but still keeps some of that upbeat vibe we love. you need to buy this cd because it will be worth your money. i can gauruntee it!

- Best Ever

LOVE LOVE LOVE

- BEST EVER

I love the moves and this sound track is the best ever. I think everyone should get this.

- Lumos

You shine a light!!!

- Amazing

Heck hair is the best eve movie I’n the world who ever made this

- Love it!!!!!!

I love this soundtrack like i do all the others, but if you going to buy one of all the movies, get the order of the phoenix. I love that one its my fave

- Unbelievable

Warner bros.did OUT OF THIS WORLD! But this soundtrack is like 10 points up!! I could imagine everything that was in the movie!!A MUST BUY!!!!I just know I'm going to buy the whole album!!!when i heard the first song I TOTALLY knew how serious J.K Rowling,Warner bros.,and iTunes were about Harry potter.totallyloveit.😊

- Spectacular work for Harry Potter

From floating aunts, to werewolves, to spells and more, this album matches the mood scene for scene. John Williams did a great job! I think this movie is the tipping point of where the movies go from (for lack of a better word) more childish with not as much peril to where Harry, Ron, and Hermione are constantly faced with tense scences and i think that these songs match them all perfectly... definently a must buy for any TRUE Harry Potter fan!

- Strong, Strong Feelings...

I feel the feelings that the actors have when they are acting. The strongest part is when Sirius is riding away on Buckbeak, second is when Lupin is telling Harry about why he didn't let him face the boggart. If there was NO music at those parts, it wouldn't be the same. - Lily Grace -

- enh

blah this is pretty boring with a few exceptions. williams themes are always amazing, but usually everything but the themes is boring. (sorry, jw)

- Hagrid the Professor

It explains the true happiness of Ron, Harry, and Hermione about Hagrid becoming a teacher. And of course Hagrid's happiness too. This is a great song!!!!!!:)

- Truly amazing!

I especially love the choral arrangement of the song “Double Trouble”. John Williams is DEFINITELY the man!

- Amazing and Nostalgic

This was the very first CD I bought when I was younger! I got it as a 5th/6th grade graduation present, along with my very first CD player LOL (I still have the CD player). I use to listen to this CD non-stop, and now that I re-purchased it on Itunes, I plan to listen to it non stop again! I guess the more things change, the more the stay the same :)

- Need more iTunes Cards!

I have several tracks from several HP albums! Great to do your homework to! Great music!

- No no NO!!!!!

I love Harry potter but this was horrible!!!!! I'm sorry, but the only wonderful song was the werewolf scene. This was not good to me, but I hope the next ones won't embarrass themselves

- Amazing!!!

I really love this album! Double Trouble is the song I sang in choir! It was amazing! Love the movie and the soundtrack! Great job John Williams, J.K. Rowling and everybody else that has helped creat this movie and soundtrack!!! XD

- Magical!

Buckbeaks flight is one of the most moving pieces I have heard on all the Harry potter film scores. I can close my eyes while listening and imagine being right there in the midst of it all. It gives me such an elated feeling. A feeling of joy and happiness. Ten thumbs up!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture) Wiki

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban ( AS-kaa-baan, kuh-baan; also AS-ka-baan) is a fantasy novel written by British author J. K. Rowling. It is the third installment in the Harry Potter series. The novel follows Harry Potter, a young wizard, in his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Along with friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, Harry investigates Sirius Black, an escaped prisoner from Azkaban, the wizard prison, believed to be one of Lord Voldemort's old allies. The book was published in the United Kingdom on 8 July 1999 by Bloomsbury and in the United States on 8 September 1999 by Scholastic, Inc. Rowling found the book easy to write, finishing it just a year after she began writing it. The book sold 68,000 copies in just three days after its release in the United Kingdom and since has sold over three million in the country. The book won the 1999 Whitbread Children's Book Award, the Bram Stoker Award, and the 2000 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel and was short-listed for other awards, including the Hugo. The film adaptation of the novel was released in 2004, grossing more than $796 million and earning critical acclaim. Video games loosely based on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban were also released for several platforms, and most obtained favourable reviews.
