The Marauder's Map: DVD track index for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

DVD list and notations explained - The Akashic Record - More HP stuff

Having ranted about the previous extras DVDs, I should say here that this one's a real improvement. Much less dross, much better proofreading, and with irrefutable signs of pre-planning. Now, if someone could just introduce them to the proper meaning of "user testing"...

Specimen: Region 1 widescreen

Note on tour interface: As on the previous extras DVD, the stopping points on the tours will show you arrows indicating in which directions you can turn or move, with a down arrow indicating there are details you can look at. Pressing the down arrow at this point moves the focus to the upper part of the screen to highlight details. Unlike the previous DVD, continuing to press the down arrow won't cycle through all the details available. So you need to press the down arrow, then use the right/left arrows to cycle through the details, then press the down arrow to get back to navigation.

17. Unfinished scene warning. What this means is that you'll be able to see wires, bluescreens, the edges of sets, etc. It's kind of neat to see how it works, actually, but if your children are going to be traumatized to learn that they haven't been seeing real magic, I guess this is where you send them out of the room.

Title 8. Catch Scabbers

Here's a game where you are Crookshanks, pursuing Scabbers along a table in the Great Hall. You have to press your arrow keys to go left, right, or forward (up) to navigate around obstacles and catch up to him. The cue to press a key is not the appearance of Scabbers, but rather an item on the table lighting up. You then need to press an arrow key to aim for that item. If you press the key before the item lights up, it will have no effect. If you don't press it in time, the narrator scolds you for missing and you are sent back to the beginnning or the middle of the level. Four misses and you've failed, going to the extra copy of this menu (9.1).

1. Introduction
2-3. Start menu: The cup takes you back to the Great Hall menu (4.2), while the three rats take you to level 1 (8.4), level 2 (8.26), and level 3 (8.49) respectively.
4-24. Level 1. In addition to the lit-up items, you're cued with a ding to let you know when it's time to press a key. Here are the directions:

25. End of level 1
26-47. Level 2. No audio cues here, and you have less time to press the keys. 48. End of level 2
49-70. Level 3. At this point, you pretty much have to remember when something is going to light up so you can press the key right at that moment. 71. End of level 3
72. "Missed him by a whisker!"
73. "Ouch! That's go to hurt!"
74. "You must be more careful."
75. "Come on, now! He's only got nine toes." (Whereas a normal rat missing one toe would have 17 or 19, depending on the species.)
76-79. Extra copies of 72-75
80. Extra copy of ending

Title 9. Copy of menu in 8.2-3

Title 10. The Quest of Sir Cadogan
1. Transition from previous menu
2-3. Introduction to Sir Cadogan. Pressing the select/OK button will skip ahead some; pressing the left arrow will take you to the gallery tour (10.32).
4-6. Instructions and approach to castle. The start of the actual game portion isn't well signalled. As you approach Hogwarts, a pair of swords will briefly appear at the bottom of the screen. Pressing the left arrow key at this moment will give you the wanted poster (10.33)
9-10. Heading down a hallway inside the castle, the swords appear again. Once again, the left arrow key lets you take the right way down the stairs (10.38), but anything else takes you to the next track.
11. Uncontrolled plummet down the stairwell, continues to the next track
12. First appearance of the Time Turner. You continue to the next track.
13-15. Decision point: Choose a door to determine your susbsequent path. Each door leads to a different painting, but after that first painting each of the paths is the same.

17-19. Transition to moat painting, which follows
20. Leap across moat by pressing the select/OK key when the sword appears. You get three chances. A successful leap goes to the transition to the next painting (10.82), the first two unsuccessful ones to a fall in the moat (10.79), and the third to the Great Hall approach in the next track.
21-25. Continuing to the Great Hall painting, with an appearance from the Time Turner and a portrait flying by with a hint
23-25. Further continuing to the Great Hall
26-27. The swords appear again; turning left takes you to the candle lighting (10.28) and any other way simply continues onward (10.83)
28. Candles line up; I think you get points for this. Continues onward (10.83).
29. Quidditch part 1. Regardless of the instructions, when the target appears it's already too late. Pressing the select/OK button at about 1-second intervals throughout this track will usually let you hit the point where it needs to be pressed and send you on to part 2 (10.87). Failure takes you out of the painting (10.89).
30. Successful leap across the moat, then onward to the Great Hall (10.21)
31. Transition into portrait gallery
32. Tour of the portrait gallery, after which you return to the lead-in (10.1). Watch carefully; the pause button is disabled.
33-37. You dive down a hallway and see the wanted poster, then continue down the correct hallway (10.9)
38. You slide down the stairs, then continue on toward the doors (10.13)
39. Beginning of clock painting. To get through it, press the select/OK key whenever a sword appears. The first two times you mess up, you cycle through the wrong-way track (10.48); on the third, you're booted out toward the next painting (10.49).
40-41. Clock segment 1
42-43. Clock segment 2
44-45. Clock segment 3
46. Sucessful exit from the clock, leading to the next painting (10.17)
47. Copy of clock mistake track not accessed from anywhere
48. Clock mistake first and second time
49. Third mistake on clock; on to the next painting (10.17)

53. Selection 2
54. Selection 3
55. Selection 4
56. Selection 5
57-58. Next try after making an incorrect selection; goes to selection 2 (10.53) if you make the first one correctly.
59. Yellow beaker selected, slips back to selection 2 (10.53) if left a few seconds 60. Blue beaker selected, slips to selection 3 (10.54)
61. Blue beaker selected, slips to selection 4 (10.55)
62. Blue beaker selected, slips to selection 5 (10.56)
63. Skips back to the approach to the alchemy lab painting (10.50)
64. Second wrong choice in the alchemy painting; you're sent onto the next one (10.17)
65. Successful completion of alchemy puzzle; on to the next one (10.17)
66-68. Transition from doors into snake chamber #1. The symbols above the doors are: circle with dot, star, figure containing the letter B, a horned figure, and an hourglass. Your first two mistakes loop through this chamber's error track (10.75), your third to a transition to chamber #3 (10.112).
69. First row of snake chamber #1
70. Second row
71. Third row

78. Transition to the moat painting (10.17)
79. Falling into the paint moat and continuing to the extra copy of the moat in the next track
80-81. Second and third attempt at moat. A second failure loops back to the previous track; the third takes you to a transition to the next painting
82. Successful jump across moat; continues to the Great Hall painting (10.23)
83-86. Continuing through the hall to the Quidditch painting (10.29)
87. Quidditch segment 2; again, failure skips to the selection puzzle (10.89). Success goes on to the next track
88. Successful conclusion of Quidditch painting; continues to next track
89-90. Transition to painting selection puzzle
91-92. Painting selection puzzle. This is an endless loop until you select the right painting, as far as I can tell. You want the Gryffindor Tower painting. Actually, you want to hit the button when you see the green square appears in the lower right-hand corner.
93. Successful completion
94. Scored to the rank of "Knight", followed by a forcible tour of the second copy of the gallery (10.99)
95-96. Scored as "Squire"
