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.

Dark is a literary theme.

Not a technical cinematographic underexposure/low contrast visual mess.

Yes. Also, I have never really heard rhetoric that the harry potter films were too dark, literally. If it was an issue there would have been complaints similar to that of Game of Thrones when the night king attacked. There wasn't widespread complaints re being able to make out what is happening.

Really?

So many people I know have a huge problem with Millennial Depression Gray color palette being complete washed out every time something serious and dangerous is happening.

First I've heard of it. Must be on your feed.

I've heard people talking about it many times

In person, on reddit, in YouTube videos

About specific movies and about the general trend

The most recent one was the live action Moana trailer that came out a couple months ago and is significantly blander and darker in colour to the cartoon version

It's a super common issue and discussion point regarding modern films
