Patrick Stinson: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban wonÂ’t hit the screens until next summer, but we already have an E! Exclusive. Lynda Lopez was on the set in London.

Lynda Lopez: This is the set of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. And for the 3rd film, a couple of changes have come to Harry Potter.

Patrick: The first big change is Michael Gambon replacing the late Richard Harris as Hogwarts Headmaster Professor Dumbledore.

Rupert: Michael Gambon is great, heÂ’s really funny. HeÂ’s brought some thing really cool to the character, yeah.

Daniel: He hasnÂ’t tried to emulate Richard in any way. ItÂ’s so hard, so heÂ’s doing his own take on Dumbledore.

Patrick: Emma Thompson also joins the cast.

Daniel: She plays Professor Trelawney.

Emma: SheÂ’s um, sheÂ’s very clumsy, sheÂ’s very, very out of it...and sheÂ’s got this brilliant presence. And itÂ’s really funny.

Patrick: And, thereÂ’s Gary Oldman as the title character the prisoner of Azkaban. Of course Harry, Ron, and Hermione are in plenty of danger once again. But, Daniel, Rupert, and Emma are still glad to be back on set.

Lynda: What was it like having to back to sort of, normal life, and then come back to the film?

Daniel: For me, this is normal life.

Lynda: Right.

Rupert: In a way, itÂ’s kind of like going back to school-but a lot better.

Emma: IÂ’m really excited. This is my favorite book, my favorite script.

Rupert: I couldnÂ’t wait to get back into this one.

Emma: ItÂ’s a bit darker, a bit scarier.

Patrick: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban will be released next June.
