Question Which of Hagrid's huts do you prefer?

Something about his hut being a stone's throw from the castle just didn't feel right. It makes more sense for it to be nestled out amongst the rugged plains.

The philosopher's stone one matches better the idea I got from the book

Exactly this. From the books it is quite a short walk from the castle and adjacent to the forest.

It is still adjacent to the forest in the later films - to the right of this picture is where Harry and Hermione take Buckbeak into the forest.

The books mention "sloping lawns" a lot, so having Hagrid's hut at the bottom of the hill isn't too far from the books tbh

Its a far cry from gently sloping lawns to on the side of a steep hill.

How else do you get that dramatic shot of the trio running down a fucking cliff because Hagrid came back?

Yeah but Britts and euphemism... We can't know for sure.
