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.
