I think that Hagrid's hut looked mostly the same, we just got to see 
different angles. In the book it is once described as a wooden house. 
The big change was definitely location. I really like the changes to 
the landscape and castle, with the exception of the great hall, which 
seemed small and dingy. In the book it did say that near the castle 
the landscape became much rougher and hillier.... not in those words, 
but I remember something to that extent. I found the landscape really 
breathtaking. One change I really hated was the new fat lady.... 
yuck! Not at all like I got from the book.
