Description

It’s Year Three at Hogwarts, and things are taking a dark turn. Alfonso Cuaron takes over the director’s chair for Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban, infusing the series with new life and cinematic splendor in what many consider the strongest installment of the film franchise. We’re treated to a deep exploration of animal magic, from the culturally ubiquitous werewolf to the British folklore-infused Black Dog and the more abstract Patronus charm. Our first Divination class introduces us to the ancient history of prophecy, and sees our Enlightenment-educated Hermione Granger take on centuries-old assumptions. Join us for a lively discussion of dogs, Dementors, Time Turners, and the Roman Empire. Lumos maxima!
