USA Today has some new pictures and a very interesting article about the subtle differences between the upcoming Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and the previous Potter movies, as well as some tidbits of what we can expect in the film - such as Hermione wearing jeans and holding hands with Ron.
In the article Alfonso Cuarón discusses the difference from his last movie Y Tu Mamá and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:
"Obviously the tone of the movies is completely different," says Cuarón. "Y Tu Mamá was very realistic, with social observation. Here it's a magic world, a fantasy, a bigger canvas. But emotionally it's exactly the same thing. It's a journey of a character's seeking his identity and accepting who he is. To step out of the shadow of his father, for instance, is one of the themes."
Emma says that she enjoyed slugging Malfoy and that she finally got Hermione into jeans:
"It was great fun," Watson says. "We did a couple of takes, and I was saying 'Come on, come on, let's do it again.'"
"It took me three films to get Hermione in jeans. To get out of the robes with the tights and the itchy jumpers. Whoo-hoo!"
David Heyman had this to say about the movie:
"This is a real girl-power film. Hermione helps and leads Harry on many occasions."

neoepiphany - I noticed the same thing about the captions - that was a pretty big goof on #2!
I thought the article was great - but the more info that comes out, the harder it is to wait for the release of POA!

Hermione grab (not hold, the magazine wants to create more gossip for readers to buy the article) Ron's hand for less than a second because she was scare of HArry riding the Buckbeak.
I have all the pics I download it, they are all great, I can't wait for the movie.
Actually we can't see them holding hands in this pics (again for about a sec) the pic that everybody is talking about is where Hermione is looking down and Ron is by her side.

This is too cool! I am so waiting for this movie to premier! I do think, however, that USA Today needs to let someone on staff who has read the books make the picture captions! What an obvious mistake! Have we all written in about it?
Ron and Hermione holding hands already? Let us hope that it is something small and quick on screen - the tension has to keep building for the Christmas Ball in GoF. Not too much can be given away or stated here.
Harry and Luna? Nope. Harry and Ginny. For sure!

Its about time they caught up with the times! harry was WAY too innocent in the last 2 films, and the cast seems to look alot more comfortable in jeans...
I also saw the mistake on the site.. Thats shocking! How could you mix that up!?
ANyway.. very excited abou the movie...

If I am not mistaken is Ron who grab hermione's hand, you can see in the pic that Ron has this face and Hermione is looking down because she felt him grabing her.

The guy who wrote it doesn't know anything. He said it was Harry riding away on Buckbeak, a horse that's invisable unless the person has seen death. What a retard!
