for our new Movie Still gallery filled with 4 new images from the film!
This movie, which arrives in theaters June 4, 2004, is spookier, darker and more emotional, with a more adolescent and angry Harry Potter, now 13, a new Professor Dumbledore and a more contemporary look for Harry and his pals, Ron and Hermione. All of this from a new director, Alfonso Cuaron (Y Tu Mamá También, A Little Princess).
"Alfonso really understands the nuances of being a teenager, and that's vital to this film," producer David Heyman says. "It's much more grounded in reality. This is a magical world, but not a fantasy world. This film has the magic of A Little Princess, but the reality of Y Tu Mamá. But I can assure you that Harry, Ron and Hermione are not going off on a road trip. No ménages à trois."
The trailer offers the first glimpse of the evil hooded Dementors, who suck the happiness out of those unlucky enough to cross their paths; the dangerous, scraggly-haired escaped prisoner Sirius Black (Gary Oldman); and the mysterious werewolf who spends his days as Professor Lupin (David Thewlis).
Harry is growing more accustomed to the world at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"He's becoming slightly more used to seeing this magical stuff all around him, like a giant squid in a lake and ghosts everywhere," says Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry. But audiences may not be quite so blasé with all the magical goings-on.
