MEXICO CITY - The director of "Harry Potter (news - web sites) and the Prisoner of Azkaban" says he tried to be faithful to the books by J.K. Rowling (news - web sites) as he crafted the third movie in the Harry Potter series.
"As the books evolve, the tone gets more dark with each one," Alfonso Cuaron (news) said Saturday at a news conference following the film's first night at the box office.
Cuaron also directed the gritty coming-of-age film "Y Tu Mama Tambien" about two Mexican teenagers and an older woman. He took over filming the magic-infused Potter series from Chris Columbus (news), who made the first two Potter movies and cheery family films such as "Home Alone" and "Mrs. Doubtfire."
Cuaron said he had to exercise restraint to be faithful to the original Harry Potter tale but he enjoyed the same creative freedom in his interpretation as in his earlier films.
"I was here only to interpret the book. But everything is filtered through you," he said.
