[HPFGU-Movie] Re: My 2c on the DVD

No its real simple!

Hagrid is so tall becuase they have him closer to the camara!  The other 
actors are farther away.  Its forced perspective.  When ever Hagrid is like 
walking its a giant that gets no credit.  When its Robbie then they have him 
and Hermoine closer to the camara and Ron and Harry farther back.  

For the Quidditch match they have green screens and there are seats on the 
brooms plus a hoslter to strap them into place like rock climbing gear!
