I think the movie sets brought the settings more to life than the book did, 
amazingly enough.  I'm an artist and I pay close attention to the artistry 
involved in set design.  The Chamber of Secrets, the Great Hall, so many 
other places are full of exquisite design that was never mentioned in the 
book.  I particularly like the sculpture that is part of Dumbledore's spiral 
staircase -- wonderful work!  And the various paintings and sculptures in the 
building, and the building itself -- just outstanding.  There's always 
something new to discover every time I watch either movie, just as the books 
are so full of rich detail they stay fresh and intriguing through repeated 
readings.
