J.K. Rowling gave a video interview
to Reuters in which she discusses Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban being the best movie so far. This interview expands on her comments previously posted from USA Today where she credits Alfonso Cuarón with everything and says that Prisoner was the easiest book to write.
An excerpt from the video:
"Nobody who's read the books is going to be at all disappointed, he has taken essentials, and I'd be very surprised if people didn't find their favorite parts in that film."

This is great!! I'll take a peek at the video later.
Wow, well I agree with JK. From what I've seen, the Prisoner of Azkaban is going to be the best yet.

That was SO cool. Jk Rowlinf is my idle. It was a bit blurry but besides that it was good! I feel sorry for Jk about how much pressure she feels to write each book. *looks innocent* Its not like fans like us are pressuring her or anything.

That's good to know. I don't want to get kicked out of the theater for yelling at the screen for leaving something out...

I still have some doubts about the film with the muggle clothes and flying dementors. But I think it's defiently going to be the best of the 3.

She does seem to be very happy, indeed. So I am sure it will be a fabulous film. Sometimes us fans our tougher then the author herself. I sill have faith in (spanish accnet) Alfonso Cuaron.

It was great to see Jo say it like she sees it -- that this film is the best movie HP movie yet...and it was nice to get the fact that there are clues to books 6 & 7 confirmed in both audio and video on the clip.

If JK thinks it's great, I'm sure it is. How can you argue with the creator?!
Only a few more days, guys!

One question before I comment...Why are some people posting in bold?
I definitely agree with wahnaroo...
JK has to be the toughest critic of the HP movies. If she really likes the film and thinks it's the best it has to be! Who'd want to argue with JK anyway? Afterall, she is the genius who created it all!

Yay I'm gonna go see it next saturday. I'm also glad to hear that J.K likes the movie. I hope it shuts up those people that want to sit in the theater for ten hours to see an exact copy of the book on screen. I want to see a film not the book, for that I have one right next to me, which I can turn to whenever I want, without having to turn any electrical devices on.

Well, she's going to be surprised then, because some folks are already complaining that their "favorite part" is gone.
