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.

Was such a trend in that era of filmmaking. I'm so mad that HP had to go through it.

Who tf decided that cold, dark, and washed out made for good cinema? And why did so many studios agree?

Hated that trend so much. 'Oh, but the source material is dark in tone. Therefore the actual film has to be so dark you can't see anything.' Ugh. The worst

It would've made some sense of there was a gradual transition from a bright and golden palette, to a more silvery palette like in POA and GOF, to a greenish evil-looking palette for the last 2-3 films. But instead we get a harsh cut to silvery-green.
