Mexico City, Mexico (April 23th, 2004).- The producer (suppose to mean director) Alfonso Cuarón will arrive in the country on June 3rd to give a press conference and to be present at the national premier of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, his most recent film, that will be released the next day, informed Miguel Mallet, from Warner Bros Mexico.
