Potter director relieved to see back of Hogwarts Article: Ruters have the flowing interview with Alfonso Curan director of POA. He is at the Canne film festival.
Artical:
CANNES, France (Reuters) - Mexican moviemaker Alfonso Cuaron is so relieved to see the back of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He has spent the last two years directing the latest Harry Potter film -- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban -- due out next month.
Cuaron took over as director from American Christopher Columbus who made the first two Potter movies,
Asked if he was pleased that filming was now over, Cuaron replied with feeling "Oh Yeah."
"It's a long process," he told Reuters Television at the Cannes film festival. "It was a pleasure every single instant. I was never stressed but I was completely exhausted."
And when you are working on one of the most famous film franchises in the world, there is no escaping the teenage wizard created by author JK Rowling. He is everywhere.
"There is another thing about Harry Potter. You cannot rest. You have one day free and you walk in the street and there is Harry Potter iconography everywhere.
"It's not that you don't work one day and you can relax and not see your characters. The world is surrounded by Harry Potter."
For Cuaron, who is in Cannes as a producer promoting the new Sean Penn movie "The Assassination of Richard Nixon," the hardest thing about making a Harry Potter movie was the sheer length of the process.
"The example I like is -- if you have the most beautiful car to drive with the best seats and it's so safe and the machine is so luxurious.
"But there is only one trouble -- you are going to drive for two years and you cannot stop to pee."

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I am so excited about POA he seems to have done a great job with it. and in interviews he seems to have enjoyd the experence but also he didnt realise how much it would take out of him.
i love this bit
