Columbus has stayed on with the project to serve as producer, and with the exception of Michael Gambon, who replaces the late Richard Harris as Dumbledore the rest of the cast is back too. Prior to Azkaban, Cuaron directed the Oscar nominated Y Tu Mama Tambien and 1995's A Little Princess. Cuaron's team has spent 6 months alone working on the Dementors. If that wasn't bad enough, Harry must learn some very difficult magic in order to defend himself against the soul-stealing Dementors that have been stationed at Hogwarts allegedly for his protection.
Azkaban centers on the escaped murderer Sirius Black's attempts to gain entrance to Hogwarts where everyone believes he is planning to attack Harry. In fact, the book itself has a considerably darker plot than the first two in the series. The film's new director, Alfonso Cuaron, is making the next of Harry's adventures much darker than the first two films and has a very different filming style than previous director Chris Columbus. So why the wait? Special effects could play a part in it. The previous two movies, The Sorcerer's Stone and The Chamber of Secrets were released in consecutive years near Thanksgiving. According to a recent article in Newsweek, the filming of the third Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, is reportedly near completion and a release date for the film has been set as June 4, 2004.
Rowling's immensely successful series, there will be a few more opportunities to get a good dose of the wizarding world. While they may have to wait yet another couple of years for the sixth installment in J.
Harry Potter fans who have finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix can breathe easy.
