Alfonso Cuaron. While some of it we've seen before, there are few good

spirit of the book, in other words trying to do a good adaptation. At

the stuff either in her universe or that was going to happen in books 
five, six. In one moment I had this graveyard, and she says, “No, that 
graveyard can’t be there,” and I say, “Why?” “Because the graveyard is 
in this other place,” and she gives you the whole explanation of why.***
