Daniel Radcliffe On How Alfonso Cuarón Changed the Harry Potter Franchise

Daniel Radcliffe explains how Alfonso Cuarón’s time as a Harry Potter director changed the franchise’s future. The Harry Potter film series began in 2001, serving as an adaption of J.K Rowling’s hugely successful novels. Spanning over the course of a decade, the series ended in 2011 after its eighth and final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2. However, the Wizarding World has continued to be explored in the current, albeit more divisive, Fantastic Beasts series.

Following on from Chris Columbus’s direction of the first two Harry Potter films, Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón was brought in to helm Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The film was a significant departure from the first two entries in the series, replacing their whimsical and fantastical nature with a darker and eerier tone.

“[The Harry Potter producers] got Alfonso Cuarón to come in and direct the third one. Now, by the standards of modern cinema, that decision just looks very smart and good. At the time, I think we can forget how absolutely left-field that choice seemed, as the guy who'd just done Y Tu Mamá También. But again, it’s one of the decisions that our producer David Heyman made that really shaped the next few years of the series and allowed us to go to a darker place.

Radcliffe is certainly right to acknowledge that following on from Prisoner of Azkaban, the series was able to explore darker aspects of the Wizarding World and of the characters themselves. However, the book series also takes a darker turn with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, considering the introduction of creatures like Dementors and werewolves. Given this, it’s likely that, even in Cuarón’s absence, the film would have been a shift in tone from its predecessors.

In the aftermath of the Harry Potter series’ success, the Fantastic Beasts films have also attempted to continue the darker tone established by Cuarón.

They went all out on cast and crew on that one and it showed

Prisoner of Azkaban was one of the best in the series thanks to Cuaron, as well as the best aesthetically pleasing.
