Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban has been named the Film of the Decade at the First Light Awards in London.

The third installment in the wizard franchise, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, polled the most votes in a poll of children aged five to 15, seeing off competition from other family-friendly films including Shrek, Happy Feet and Up to take the title.

Producer David Heyman was handed the award by actress Clemence Poesy, who plays Fleur Delacour in the franchise, during the ceremony at the capital's Odeon Leicester Square on Tuesday night (15Mar11).

Heyman said, "It's especially exciting and moving to be voted Film of the Decade by children aged five to 15. We made the film for children of all ages from five to 105 really, but clearly a core part of our audience is young people and to be honoured is a privilege."

Celebrity presenters Dougray Scott, Tamsin Greig and Hugh Dennis were also in attendance at the event to hand out prizes celebrating the work of young filmmakers.
