According to the website iharrypotter.net that was just referenced
for other matters-
"Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, which featured in some of the
most stunning scenes in the last two films, have been ditched in
favour of sites in Scotland and southern England."
!!!!
Is this true? Well I erm, suppose so, but it's something that I just
can't accept. Will Hogwarts not look totally different? Alnwick is
very distinctive and some scenes, such the Whomping Willow in CoS,
have been clearly established within its borders. It seems to me
that this creates an unnecessary muddle. Perhaps indoor scenes may
be recreated but a large scale outdoor scene is unlikely. Any
suggestions?
On a bit of a tangent did anyone else notice that the hospital wing
set used in CoS was totally different than that used in PS/SS? In
the first film, unless I'm very much mistaken, the Divinity School
of the Bodleian Library, Oxford was used. Here's a link with a
picture, albeit not a very big
one...http://www.d.umn.edu/~ahartley/marhistcitOED.html
I lived in Oxford for a short while in 2001 (alright I just studied
for a month, but live sounds much more romantic) and I remember
clearly that this was so (partially from the HPFGU members that I
met whilst there, but I digress).
Anyway you can go on a 360degree tour of the CoS set at

There. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, but they're totally different rooms
and it makes me mad (not to mention this fact irked me to no end in
the hospital scenes, ack!)
That's all.
