According to Chris Columbus in the Interviews section of the DVD, he also
had no SPFX experience prior to the HP movie. I found the SPFX rather
variable; some things excellent (the snake, Norbert, the owl post, the
quidditch match) and others really poor; the troll, the centaur, for
example. I know that several different companies were involved, each one
responsible for a different scene, and I wonder whether this, combined with
CC's inexperience, led to the difference in quality. Comments, anyone?
