“I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good” | Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Part 1 with Law Sharma
6/9/20261 hr 1 min
A runaway wizard, an unexpected trip on the Knight Bus, and a school year that begins with a murderer on the loose… something wicked this way comes. Host Rhianna Dhillon is joined by Law Sharma as they revisit the first half of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, from Harry’s dramatic exit from Privet Drive to a return to Hogwarts that feels darker, stranger, and now features 100% more Dementors. Together, they explore how the series finds a new visual language and tone under the direction of Alfonso Cuarón, and why this is the moment the wizarding world starts to feel more real, more dangerous, and more grown up.
