"Harry," said Mr. Weasley quietly, "come over here a moment." He jerked his head toward a pillar, and Harry followed him behind it, leaving the others crowded around Mrs. Weasley. "There's something I've got to tell you before you leave ----" said Mr. Weasley, in a tense voice. " It's alright Mr. Weasley," said Harry. "I already know." "You know? How could you know?" "I ---- er ---- I heard you and Mrs Weasley talking last night. I couldn't help hearing," Harry added quickly. "Sorry ----"

Today is the day the Riddikulus Crew gives The Prisoner of Azkaban its farewell for the arc. We close out this installment of the Harry Potter series by highlighting some of the major key differences between the novel and the film.

From the blowing up of Aunt Marge, to the dog seen in Magnolia Crescent, to Harry's time at the Leaky Cauldron before the start of the Hogwarts School year, there are so many removed moments that made the story what it was. Including the Quidditch Cup Final, the omission of important characters, Harry's first Hogsmeade experience, the Firebolt, and entering the Whomping Willow just to name a few!

With the acutely detailed examination that you've come to expect from Chase & Josh, we detail both major and minor variations that stuck out to us, cover some alterations that really changed the story, spotlight huge events that were plainly omitted, and discuss the very few times the film added a unique deviation that enhanced the story. You may be surprised just how different the film and novel are once we provide evidence, so don't miss out.

"Didn't make any difference?" said Dumbledore quietly. "It made all the difference in the world, Harry. You helped uncover the truth. You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate." (Page 425)
