I don't recall Harry Potter being passive in Prisoner of Azkaban, or there being any exposition cut out, or - - as it was the only stand-alone film since the first - - there being any need to be familiar with either the other films or any of the books. Nor was there anything untight about the story construction.
This is before we get to the beautiful art direction, winning performances, terrific score, and creative directorial choices.
After also reading about your "horrible" experience ducking into Barnes & Noble last night, Alex ... I don't know what weirdly alternate Harry Potter universe you exist in ... but I'm glad I don't inhabit that one.
