It was exactly what I pictured... tall and leaning.  I miss the 
gnome's though.. oh, well.

Are you referring to the fact we hear English in the first and parsel 
in the second films?  I think that in the first film, we don't know 
it's parsel and neither does Harry.  He thinks he's speaking 
English.  Why confuse the audience and have subtitles?  It's not 
crucial to the first story.  It is crucial to the second story, 
though, and it also makes it seem a bit more menacing, so we 
understand everyone's fear.
