I thought the same thing when I saw this. I knew it was a movie prop, but 
it's all wrong. If they are going to put her in a wheelchair it should look like 
the one Shirley Temple's father was in in the movie Little Princess (I think 
it was Little Princess). I don't know why the cane wouldn't suffice. I guess 
they think the wheelchair is more dramatic. If so, they could at least make it 
look like it belongs at Hogwarts. Geeze.
