I solemnly swear that the exits are located in the back of the theater
I finally saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban last night, at the Navy Pier IMAX, with not one but two hot babes. Which is the best way to see anything, really.
Just as a matter of interest, anyone out there see the movie but not read the book? I came away thinking it was incomprehensible if you hadn't. And dwelling entirely too much on what was left out, which is why I'm also resisting the powerful urge to re-read the thing.
Yeah, I know, geek. Shut the hell up.
Update: Because it bears repeating: 
And because if lots and lots of you buy the book, it'll defray some small fraction of what it costs to park near Navy Pier.
About that title. . . the house lights came up and the audience was notified, over the not-kidding-around sound system, of the locations of the exits about 30 seconds into the closing credits, which I'm sure wasn't just a subtle way of telling us to get the hell out so they could get ready for the next screening. Because it really wasn't all that subtle.
Also, the photo on this here page really doesn't do the Trojan Pig sculpture at Navy Pier Walk justice.

I saw the movie, having never read a Harry Potter book and only having seen bits of the first film, and it SEEMED to make sense. But I went with a friend who has read and seen everything, and she told me about some of the things that were left out, which apparently added up to quite a lot. The details were interesting enough that they made me want to finally read the books. Maybe in six months when I finish Dhalgren, eh?
