With Prisoner of Azkaban, production of the Harry Potter films switched to an eighteen-month cycle. Cuarón was selected as director from a list that included
Callie Khouri
and
Kenneth Branagh
. The cast of previous instalments returned for the film, with the additions of
Gary Oldman
,
David
Thewlis
, and
Emma Thompson
, among others. It was the first appearance of
Michael Gambon
as Professor
Albus Dumbledore
, due to
Richard Harris
's death in 2002. Principal photography began in February 2003 at
Leavesden
Film Studios
. It was the first in the series to extensively use real-life locations, with sets built in Scotland and scenes shot in London. Filming concluded in November 2003.
The film was released on 31 May 2004 in the United Kingdom, and on 4 June 2004 in North America. It was the first Harry Potter film using IMAX Technology and released into
IMAX
theatres. Prisoner of Azkaban grossed a total of 7.5 million worldwide, making it the
second-highest-grossing film of 2004
. The film received praise for Cuarón's direction and the lead actors' performances. It is credited for marking a notable change in the franchise's tone and directorial style, and is often considered by critics and fans alike to be the best Harry Potter film. It was nominated for two
Academy Awards
,
