Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban returns to cinemas once more in honour of its 20th anniversary as Warner Bros announce the news back in UK cinemas for a limited time only.
The movie premiered in 2004 and is the third instalment in the iconic Harry Potter series. The film quickly became a runaway success and grossed over $804m worldwide as the story revolved around Harry Potter turning 13 as Hogwarts is plagued by a maniacal mass-murderer who has escaped from Azkaban pursued by a soul-sucking Dementor who guards the prison.
To celebrate the anniversary the incredible Harry Potter Studio Tour in London also has a ‘Return to Azkaban’ event running where guests can step into the Divination classroom set for the first time along with a new section of Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom to explore.
Guests can also step inside the Knight Bus as you can experience the set rattling, the chandelier swaying, beds moving and London’s city streets zooming past, just as Harry did during his journey to the Leaky Cauldron where he first encountered The Monster Book of Monsters.
The original Leaky Cauldron bed, used during filming, will also be displayed at the Studio Tour. Fans will witness The Monster Book of Monsters go on a rampage in Harry’s room with an in-depth discussion on the mechanics that brought that infamous book to life.
