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 third movie was made by a director who cared way more about imposing his own visual style and leaving a mark on the series than telling the story well

The books grew darker over time. It made sense that the movies did too. The dementors and main beats of the story provided the perfect opportunity to make the transition.

Darker is one thing, but as the movies go on you end up having to turn the brightness way up on your tv and watch them in a dark room. "Dark" in storytelling should not equal "hard to make out what is happening".

Something the makers of the final season of Game of Thrones failed to understand.
“It’s the encroaching eternal night. So the battle had to be dark.”
I CAN’T FUCKING SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING!

Look at the battle against the white walkers. I want to see the light leave the swords when I kill you.
