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."
Check out the new photos in the photo gallery (Flash required).

Oh god, those are awesome pictures. I didn't see the gallery because I don't have flash (grrrr). Anyways the movie looks awesome, little dannikins, ems, and rupy have grown up! They have more expression on their faces in this movie, they are really turning into adult actors. I'm sure this is going to be the best Harry Potter movie, its darker and the director's imagination on the whole magical world is truly amazing. I'm sure this movie we'll be a masterpiece and this summer's huge blockbuster. I can't wait to see Emma slap Tom, that will be so funny! Just to see the expression on Malfoy's face when he gets slapped by Hermione, I really can't wait! Muhahaha, Harry looks really hot and angry in that pic. AWESOME article, I absolutly can't wait till PoA!

Whoo hoo Hermione!!! Hah, I can't wait to see Hermione slug Malfoy...man, after all with the hippogriff and getting Hagrid in trouble thingy that Draco causes. Hee hee! OH, and I'm liking the whole teen angst thing. If you read the books carefully, you do notice that Harry gets angrier in each book...you just notice it a lot more in OoTP cause he's yelling all the time. As for Hermione holding Ron's hand...maybe it's when she was scared of something....I don't think it's like how a boyfriend and girlfriend hold hands (even though that would be so cute!!). Oh, and somebody mentioned how they hoped the movie would be all about love and junk...well, I doubt it will be. But, PoA is a start of the whole hormones thingy, and it's only appropriate to add some stuff, like Hermione and Ron hugging, but it won't overtake the movie. It's a them of the movie, but it's definetely not the biggest theme. It's more about Harry confronting his fears, and dealing with his "celebrity", dementors, Sirius Black, that sort of stuff. Gosh, can't wait to see the movie!!!!! It seems so great so far!

Wow, this is definately going to be the best film by far. I can't wait to see it come out. It's been so great looking at the characters and seeing them grow up. It's good to finally start seeing a darker side to this magical book full of mystery and mayhem.

Wow, more images keep coming in. I like this trend. *grin* I can't wait to get a closer shot of Buckbeak; he is a fascinating creature. Has anyone seen the pictures out of the first round of action figures yet? They look pretty cool. There are two new Harrys, a Dementor, a Lupin that changes into a werewolf, and a DD.
