Most of the things I'd like to see in Diagon Alley would need to
be scratch built - which is generally much more expensive than
pre- purcahse. They'll need to do some of that to do the films
justice - but ideally, they should be dressing sets etc, as cheaply
as they reasonably can - so they can direct the money
elsewhere.<<
You know, something like that might apply to the toad-bearing
choir too. I presume it's standing in for the ghosts gliding in
formation at the Halloween Feast. That's a throwaway line in the
book, but duplicating it for a movie would call for investing a lot
of money to produce what would be, on screen, a ho-hum
special effect. We've all seen formations of ghosts before.
