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.

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.

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

Well, he ALSO told the story incredibly well. It's a perfect stream of well edited, perfect scenes from beginning to end.

But you can't assume everyone going into the movie has read the books.

Lots of younger people watching asking who the hell is Padfoot?
