\n<\/span><\/p>\nHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has been named film of the decade at the First Light Awards.<\/p>\n
Producer David Heyman said it was an “honour and a privilege” to receive the award at a ceremony at London’s Odeon Leicester Square.<\/p>\n
The prize, voted for by the public in association with the Bafta Kids’ Vote, was chosen by children aged five to 15.<\/p>\n
Prisoner of Azkaban was up against other films including Shrek, Whale Rider, Happy Feet and Up.<\/p>\n
Heyman said: “It’s especially exciting and moving to be voted Film of the Decade by children aged five to 15.<\/p>\n
“We made the film for children of all ages from from to 105 really, but clearly a core part of our audience is young people and to be honoured is a privilege.”<\/p>\n
Clemence Posey, who plays Fleur Delacour in the films and presented Heyman with the award, said she was sad the franchise was coming to an end this summer.<\/p>\n
“I remember my last day of shooting which was the last day for a lot of people, and some of them had been there for more than 10 years, so it really became very emotional,” she said.<\/p>\n
The annual First Light awards celebrate short films made by young people.<\/p>\n
Supported by the National Lottery through the UK Film Council, it provides funding and help to enable five to 19 year-olds to make their own short digital films and media projects.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
