It's been over a year since Harry opened his Chamber of Secrets and now we're opening the door of the new set of the new Potter.  It looks like Mr Potter and friends have done some growing up.

Dan: I never actually think of the fact that, really, people have seen me grow up effectively.

But that fact is true for 14-year-old Daniel Radcliffe, who was just 11 when he shot the first Harry Potter  in November of 2000.  All three Potter stars are all full-fledged teenagers and you can see and hear the difference.

Scene:  Wingardium Leviosa scene from first HP movie.

Ron: You do then it if you're so clever.  Go on.

Rupert: My voice hadn't broken then and now... it's pretty low!

Scene: Hospital scene from POA

Ron: It was Scabbers who did it!
Dumbledore: Scabbers?
Ron: My rat, sir.

Dan: Who's grown most?  Rupert, without a shadow of a doubt!

Rupert: It's weird, it's really weird.  I don't really feel like I've really changed but when I look back at the old films, I was tiny.

And while the kids grow, there's one thing you can count on - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has more of the movie magic that made the first two films box-office phenoms, grossing nearly two billion dollars worldwide.  

The third instalment has not only added a new director but new faces as well.  Gary Oldman is the Prisoner of Azkaban but the biggest challenge was replacing Professor Dumbledore, played by the late Richard Harris.

Scene: Hospital scene from POA

Dumbledore: Good luck.

Irish star Michael Gambon steps into Dumbledore's shoes.

Michael: I started using an Irish accent.  So the director said, What's that you're doing?  And I said, I think it's Irish.  And I suppose because Richard was Irish...

Scene: Great Hall scene from POA

Dumbledore: Welcome to another year at Hogwarts.

The ever-changing Potter even switches things up for fans this time, opening June 4th instead of a fall release.
