The "Brit a Day" series

What does a months-long parade of attractive British men have to do with fiction, you might well ask? These gentlemen have inspired some lovely scenes, part of the life I live in my head. Over time, some of these scenes reach out to one another and begin to form a story. For the present, each one of these pictures provides a writing prompt for me, a way to keep me writing with a sense of passion and narrative, even when the stories are not yet fully formed.

A Brit a Day [#47]

Here are Daniel Radcliffe and director Alphonse Cuaron on the set of HP3. That marvelous oversized pendulum from the Hogwarts set hangs in the background. Prisoner of Azkaban isn't my favorite Harry Potter novel, but it may be my favorite of the films. Cuaron turned the conflict between the Dementors and Harry's ability to produce a superior patronus into a parable of love conquering death.
