Answer: Killing Peter Pettigrew

Sirius and Peter Pettigrew met up in a crowded street. Witnesses reported Peter accusing Sirius of betraying James and Lily, and that Sirius retaliated by blowing up the street.

2. Sirius escapes Azkaban, and goes to get a glimpse of Harry in the beginning of the movie when Harry runs away from home. What is his disguise?

Answer: True

Harry, while hiding underneath the invisibility cloak, follows Professor McGonagall and Minister of Magic, Fudge, into The Three Broomsticks, a pub in Hogsmeade. He listens in on them talking to Madam Rosmerta, the barmaid, about the need for Dementors around Hogsmeade. During this conversation Harry overhears how Sirius betrayed the Potters, killed Peter Pettigrew, and is Harry Potter's godfather.

4. When Sirius, in dog form, meets up with Harry and his friends, he bites down on someone's leg and drags that person away. Whose leg does Sirius break?

Answer: Ron

Sirius drags Ron along a passageway underneath the Whomping Willow to the Shrieking Shack. Ron has his pet rat, Scabbers, with him. Sirius is really targeting Scabbers, but the only way to get Scabbers is to get Ron. Scabbers is really Peter Pettigrew, an illegal animagus, and Sirius wants to exact revenge on him.

5. Sirius shows himself to Harry and his friends in the Shrieking Shack. Remus Lupin also turns up and has Sirius tell them the truth. Sirius accuses who of actually betraying the Potters?

Answer: Peter Pettigrew

Sirius reveals his side of the story about the day he was arrested. He accuses Peter of faking his own death and destroying the street. Peter transforms into a rat and runs off. He then finds a wizarding family to take him in, in order to keep an ear out for information. He is forced to show himself in the Shrieking Shack, and this is used to prove Sirius's story.

6. Sirius, unconscious, and Harry find themselves surrounded by Dementors. Harry is unsuccessful in repelling them away and starts to pass out. What are the Dementors trying to do to them?

Answer: Kiss

The Dementors Kiss sucks the soul out of a person. The Dementors have permission to use it on Sirius. Sirius and Harry are saved by a powerful Patronus, a charm that repels Dementors. They soon figure out who cast the spell.

7. After being surrounded by Dementors, Sirius finds himself locked up in a high tower. Harry and Hermione come to rescue him. How do they get to the tower?

Answer: A hippogriff

Buckbeak the hippogriff is sentenced to death for a provoked attack that occurs earlier in the movie. Harry and Hermione are able to save Buckbeak through the use of a Time Turner, a device that allows someone to travel back in time. Harry and Hermione fly Buckbeak up to the tower and Hermione casts Alohamora, a spell to unlock locks.

They fly onto the roof, now with Sirius, and handover Buckbeak to Sirius. Allowing Sirius to escape.

8. What does Sirius send to Harry at the end of the movie?

Answer: Broomstick

Harry's original broomstick was blown away and lost earlier in the movie. Sirius sends him a Firebolt, the best broom available. He sends a hippogriff feather with it in place of a note. This is how Harry knows who sent it.

9. Does Sirius gain his freedom by the end of the movie?

Answer: No

Sadly, only Harry, Ron, Hermione, Remus, and Dumbledore know of Sirius's innocence (aside from Peter of course). They have no proof as Peter managed to escape so they are unable to help overturn his conviction. Sirius remains on the run with Buckbeak. Although, he allows himself to get sighted away from Hogwarts in order to have the Dementors removed from the school.

10. Who plays Sirius Black?

Answer: Gary Oldman

In the books Sirius was in his early 30s, but Alan Rickman was cast as Snape. Snape and Sirius attended school together, so an older actor was cast to reflect that. Other films Gary Oldman is in include, but are not limited to, "The Fifth Element", "Air Force One", and " Oppenheimer".
