The young stars of the upcoming Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
movie told SCI FI Wire that it's been different, but good, working with new
director Alfonso Cuar�n, who steps in for Chris Columbus. "Especially for
me, as someone who hadn't acted in anything else before, it was great
working with a new director and doing something different, seeing different
techniques, different ideas, all that kind of stuff," said Emma Watson
(Hermione) during a break in filming on the film's London set. "It's also
been really good fun."

Mexican director Cuar�n (A Little Princess, Y tu mam� tambi�n) takes over
the franchise from Columbus, who helmed the first two installments. "I think
there's definitely a difference in style by just looking at the two," 
Watson said. "I've only seen a few clips of this third one that's coming
out, but Alfonso's done some amazing things with camera angles and camera
shots. And this one is much more flowy. I don't know. You can just tell the
difference. Especially with the director, a lot of himself goes into what
he's doing and you can definitely tell the difference. It's great. It's
really good."

Watson and co-stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) and Rupert Grint (Ron) agreed
that Cuar�n is bringing out the teenager in the characters. "Chris always
had this fantastically energetic approach to doing the scenes, which suited
the first two films absolutely perfectly," Radcliffe said. "And he made two
absolutely fantastic films. With the third one, Alfonso has a much more kind
of laid back, kind emotional, intense way of directing."

Watson added, "Yeah, and he wanted a lot of our input in the characters and
a lot more he kind of said, 'Well, how would you do it? What would you do it
like?' And 'No, I'm not going to tell you how to do it. It's got to come
from what you think and from your own experiences and stuff.'" Prisoner of
Azkaban, based on the third of author J.K. Rowling's best-selling Potter
novels, is slated for release on June 4.
