Yeah!! I agree with you.  Did anyone notice the changes they made to 
Hogwarts itself?  I mean the Great Hall was tiny and it didn't have 
the magic feel to it like in the other movies. It seems scruffy, like 
a castle with not enough magic in it.  The Leaky Cauldron had the 
same feel.  I even didn't like the way the grounds were set up. The 
lake that Harry was supposed to look over at the end and see himself 
was more like a little dirty pond that only appeared when it rained.  
I felt jarred throughout the movie because it was like I didn't know 
where I was. I was like, "Wait, this isn't the Hogwarts I know and 
love."  Someone pointed out the countryside was beautiful, which it 
was, and that is not what I am complaining about. 

Also, since when can the dementors fly?  I thought they just glided a 
bit.  I also didn't realize that Harry played Quidditich way above 
the clouds. Hmm...  Extremely disappointed here.
