Seems like a Flint:  chairs through PoA and benches in GoF.

Hagrid took Harry to the train station after the shopping expedition,
bought him a hamburger and put him on a train back to Privet Drive, so
this *could* be kosher.  BUT considering the time constraints and the
fact that nothing much happens between Harry's birthday & Sept. 1, they
may have decided to condense it.

I agree that some things had to be changed for filming reasons -- for
example, the students don't wear hats during classes (doing so would
have caused shadows on faces and made it difficult to distinguish one
from the other, etc.) -- but there doesn't seem to be any reason for
changing the color of Dudley's knickerbockers or the broom obviously
being a broom or....
