• Alfonso Cuarón should have directed the remaining films

There is something about the prisoner of azkaban movie that I can't describe in words, but it perfectly captures the magical world of harry potter in my mind. Harry potter is not just story telling from the books, it is a whole feeling every time I think about it. I wish he had directed at least the half-blood prince movie as its my favourite book and arguably the worst movie. I don't know why they decided to move away from him for the remaining films.

• Alfonso Cuarón should have directed the rest of the HP movies after PoA

While I love the entire series, I honestly believe that if Alfonso had directed the rest of the series they would have been even better and probably even more highly regarded than they currently are.

Not to insinuate that the other directors were bad as such, just a personal thought I've had while recently rewatching the series, especially growing up and having a much deeper love of filmmaking in general.

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), you can see sugar skulls and candy skeletons at Honeydukes. These treats were added by the Prop Department as a reference to the Mexican heritage of director Alfonso Cuarón.

• Alfonso Cuarón’s ROMA

There it is.

ROMA is one of the greatest films of the last decade.

It’s beautiful, heartfelt, comedic and yet truly sad. It follows the story of Alfonso Cuarón’s childhood, and the maid who worked at his home, Cleo.

The direction is unbelievable. The camera moves in simple pans and tracking shots, but the complexity behind the takes creates a sense of awe. You can watch different parts of the frame and see different stories. The sound design comes from every area of the theater, conversations and footsteps sounding like their behind you, adding to the setting. It truly feels like I’m there.

I don’t want to get into the story much because I think it’s something worth experiencing blind, but it’s so personal and so real. It’s a piece of Alfonso’s life that he shared with us, and I’m so glad he did.

Also, the black and white cinematography is to die for.

Please see it in theaters if you can. It is absolutely worth it.

For Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Alfonso Cuarón asked the kids playing the Hogwarts students to wear their uniforms as they would if their parents weren't around. This is in sharp contrast to the first two films; were they wore their uniforms in a very orderly fashion.

TIL before the filming of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, director Alfonso Cuarón had Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson write essays about their characters. Watson turned in a 16 page essay, Radcliffe gave a single page, and Grint forgot to turn his in.

In one of the minutes-long takes in Children of Men (2006), the camera got splattered with fake blood. Director Alfonso Cuarón almost ruined days of work by shouting "cut!", but it got lost in a background explosion by chance. Cuarón called it a "happy accident", the scene was praised by critics.
