Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) talked to SCI FI Wire about the experience that he is gaining from the three different directors.

"Basically, I think that everything that we learned with Chris [Columbus] we're now able to put into practice with a different director," Radcliffe said during a press conference while promoting Azkaban.

Radcliffe said that he and his co-stars are now able to work longer hours and can better handle extended takes. "I think that the reason Alfonso was able to do longer takes and was able to do more complicated shots was because, with Chris, we just didn't have the experience or the focus to do that kind of stuff," Radcliffe said. "We did with Alfonso."

Radcliffe added, "It is hard. It's more challenging, which is good, because if we're getting older and we're not being challenged, then there's no point in doing it, really. But I think it's just that we learn more with each director. And now with the fourth film, with Mike Newell directing, I think that we're going to learn even more as well."

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban opens June 4.
