6/16/202658 min
A map that knows a little too much, a full moon that changes everything, and a night that refuses to stay in the past - third year gets very complicated. Host Rhianna Dhillon is joined by Law Sharma to revisit the second half of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, as the truth about Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and the past finally comes to light. Together, they explore how the film’s biggest twists reshape everything we thought we knew, dive into the history of the Marauders, and unpack why Harry’s Patronus marks a turning point in his journey. Plus, Special Effects Supervisor John Richardson joins to reveal how the film’s time-turning finale was brought to life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
