 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

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.
