Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson), and Ron (Rupert Grint) look shocked in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
The Big Picture Despite having eight main films and three spinoffs, it can be easy to forget that the Harry Potter franchise has only employed three directors throughout its long run. After Chris Columbus retired from the franchise with the second film, the studio went down a different path, hiring Alfonso Cuarón to oversee the production of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Release Date May 31, 2004 Director Alfonso Cuarón Cast Daniel Radcliffe , Richard Griffiths , Pam Ferris , Fiona Shaw , Harry Melling , Adrian Rawlins Runtime 141 Alfonso Cuarón Was an Unlikely Choice To Direct ‘Harry Potter’ When the third Harry Potter film began production, the franchise was left with major questions about how to continue.
For the Cast, 'Prisoner of Azkaban' Was a Unique Experience Close Although Harry Potter was not the first English-language film Alfonso Cuarón had made, he had never directed a film on this scale before. To get to know the cast, Cuarón fittingly gave the main trio a school assignment, asking them to each write an autobiographical essay for their roles, and they did so in character.
Writing character essays was not the only way Cuarón helped create a more unique environment for the main trio. Throughout the previous two films, the characters were shown wearing their traditional Hogwarts robes for most of their scenes in the castle, with some exceptions like the Christmas scene in the first film. While watching Prisoner of Azkaban, however, some eagle-eyed fans might notice how they use average clothing far more than the stylish wizarding wardrobes in the earlier films.
