      I would say it is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, although probably it is not just dependant on the movie, but also on the books. I would love to have a challenge like that, where I would have to solve puzzles and use my mind in order to win a prize. Maybe that would be something that the Imascientist team can come up with after this competition is over 🙂

      My favourite *film* was the third one – Prisoner of Azkaban – and it was entirely its direction by Afonso Cuaron. The look of the film was absolutely beautiful – the others simply didn’t compare. Particularly the scene in the Leaky Cauldron near the start when Mr Weasley is telling Harry about his godfather. It is a single scene with amazing camera work. Also, watch the guy clearing the tables, and watch what happens to the wine bottle. Absolutely beautiful!
      For story, I think that Goblet of Fire had the best narrative – that was when the story suddenly became “dark” – it was no longer ‘jolly japes around school’ and things got serious!

      For me it is between the final film (Deathly Hallows Part 2) and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Just like Andrew, The Prisoner of Azkaban was made by Alfonso Cuaron and it was the best directing decision by the makers! His film is beautiful and the actors really seemed to improve and mature in this one. The final bit in Deathly Hallows Part 2 always makes me well up though, those kids have all grown up now and it is so touching! I grew up with those actors (they’re my age) so I feel like I went through my turbulent teens with them and when I saw that they’d grown up and learnt so much it reminded me of how much I’ve grown up and learnt along the way too.
