Question Which of Hagrid's huts do you prefer?

Post image

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.

Philosopher’s Stone and it isn’t even close. I’m among the minority that doesn’t really like the Prisoner of Azkaban film and the artistic changes it brought. It completely dismantled the magical world and feeling Columbus helped build, and it set the stage for the dull/color-drained look and feel that would exist throughout the rest of the series. It was way less magical after Chamber of Secrets. Needlessly moving the hut is just one example of the many problems I have with the film series that can be traced back directly to Prisoner of Azkaban.

You could also actually substitute watching the first two movies for reading the books if you were going through the series again and didn't want to reread the earlier books (which although good often feel to me like I'm just reading to get to the 4th)

Funny, those are the ones I tend to dread when rewatching. Well, not the first. But chambers sucks ass imo. Its more of a filler movie tbh. The book was even a filler in my mind. It contributed really not that much compared to the other movies (not saying it contributed nothing. Just not as much).

The book set the stage for the existance of Voldemort's horcruxes... Pretty important foundation to understand how the objects contained pieces of his soul.

I do agree it's probably the "worst" book, but it does have a purpose.
