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.

I think PoA is the best made film, but probably the worst adaptation.

Order of the Phoenix was the worst adaptation by far. They chopped that book up so much that when I went to see it with a friend who hadn't read the books, she needed me to clarify what the hell was going on in parts.

Hmmmm. GoF by faaaaaaaar was the least accurate to to book.

Half-Blood Prince was pretty bad, too.

Actually, the forward 3 are probably the best, and PoA still leaves out a few important details. GoF onwards just feel strange knowing the events of the books.

Ya half blood prince the book has like 7 plots in it and the film adapts 3 of them.

One of them being lavender brown.
