marion11111:
This was also the time when the Harry Potter movies switched from 
Columbus' kiddie-style movies to "grown-up" directors and the whole 
look got darker.  I'd like to think that at that point the people 
involved had been reading ahead in the books and saw foreshadowing of 
Dumbledore not being quite the Santa Claus guy, but I doubt if most of 
them read anything other than the screenplay.  I suppose the reason is 
probably that a more powerful and slightly menacing leader fit in with 
the look of the new films.
