^More than anything, though, I see this film as being almost entirely a set-up for the next 2 films. Consequently, the focus on romance and regular boarding school life will be heavily contrasted by the importance of Voldemort's coup in the next film, and the eventual rebellion in the final film. So, quite literally, this is Harry's swan song for his innocence, before he takes the plunge into the darkness of a world without Dumbledore. (This is not to say that the film is without fault, and affter seeing it a second time, I am forced to lower my initial grade down to a 7.0 - 7.2 on a 10.0 scale.)

That being said, yes Alfonso Cuarón's Azkaban is still unequivocally the best Harry Potter film, and I would have delighted to see how Cuarón could have shaped The Half-Blood Prince.
