Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Closer Strong film that finishes even stronger
2004 · Adventure, Fantasy · Alfonso Cuarón

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban doesn't need a comeback arc — it's winning at 64% across 155 matchups. But the gap between its overall record and its finals record is what makes it genuinely dangerous. The entry where the franchise found a real filmmaker and let him work. Cuarón brought a visual and emotional sophistication that the series never quite reached again, which gives this installment a claim the others can't make. It ranks #2 among 2000s films. Supporters decide in 2.7s. Opponents linger at 6.8s — rejecting it costs more thought than choosing it.

Synopsis

Year three at Hogwarts means new fun and challenges as Harry learns the delicate art of approaching a Hippogriff, transforming shape-shifting Boggarts into hilarity and even turning back time. But the term also brings danger: soul-sucking Dementors hover over the school, an ally of the accursed He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named lurks within the castle walls, and fearsome wizard Sirius Black escapes Azkaban. And Harry will confront them all.

Where it thrives

Already strong at 54% in the opening round, stronger at 66% in the semis, and strongest at 90% in finals. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has a finishing gear most films on the platform can't access.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the easy matchup at 100%. Toy Story is the kryptonite at 17%. The gap between best and worst opponent says a lot about what Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban can and can't handle.
