SorSt, Hagrid and Diagon Alley

[Mark D.]

I'm watching Sorcerer's Stone for the 100th time today and have a 
question. At the entrance to Diagon Alley Hagrid reaches UP to tap 
the correct beicks to open the alley... 

UP??? From the Special effects and camera angle Hagrid appears 
almost double Harry's height. Even if we judge Harry as only 5 foot 
(not unheard of for an 11yo) this would place Hagrid as between 8 
and 9 feet and he reached up to bricks at least 10 feet up!

So how would a normal wizard tap the correct bricks?

IMHO the wizard merly taps the bricks around the dent. This dent 
would magically reorient to the wizard approaching it.

OPINIONS?
