>>Also, I 
didn't see the point of having the witches and wizards dress in 
rather medieval (or was it Victorian?) Muggle clothing.<<

I noticed that too. I really hate that they used "college" robes rather than full-fledged ROBES for the wizards. After all, the old man from GoF would have a hard time getting a "healthy breeze around his privates" without getting shut away if he was wearing those open-fronted robes, wouldn't he?? I HATED that all the students wore normal Muggle clothes underneath their robes. It's supposed to be a big deal that they don't know how to dress like Muggles ie the beginning of the World Cup.

>>And yes, the centaur was AWFUL. I was imagining that it would be a 
torso of a person CG-ed onto the torso of a horse. I most certainly 
didn't expect it to be a demonic-looking beast that would probably 
tower over even Madame Maxime's giant steeds. <<

He says "Here is where I leave you, Harry Potter." Excuse me? He didn't TAKE Harry anywhere. That's a prime example of very poor editing if you ask me!

>>And the chess game ... yeah, I loved it too. But, doesn't the chess 
board seem much smaller than normal (i.e. fewer squares between the 
two sides)? And, while the destruction is certainly impressive and 
all, I preferred the book-version where they just get knocked down. 
After all, if the chess pieces destroy each other, how do you play a 
second game? Where's the litter after Quirrell was done with the game?<<

There WAS litter, it was all over the place. That's why they said it was a "graveyard" at first.
