of the books was transferred into the essence of the Harry Potter movies. He goes on to

talk about how he fist felt about taking on the director role in the third Harry Potter

movie, but then goes on to say how he fell in love with the book after he read it and the

potential he saw in it. Cuaron talks about how he felt comfortable and able to work with

the actors because he trusted and admired the production designer that put the cast

together. They also discussed how J.K. asked the director to pay more attention to “the

spirit of the book” rather than literal adaptation.

how it comes from medieval romance stories. The essay also gives insight into the kinds

sometimes romantic and always mythical quests throughout the plot line, as well as the

hero’s journey to face evil. Finally, the essays gives plenty tangible movie examples to

how fantasies are about to create such a thrilling escape from reality.
