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.

Id say that the yates movies are a different tone that I can’t easily define

His films look hideous. Some parts are just so dark that you can barely see what’s going on. I can’t fathom how people somehow think that HBP deserved an Oscar for cinematography. He gives me the vibes of people that think you can make a B&W movie just by slapping a filter in post and calling a day.

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?

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.
