I think a special on E! (thank you Tivo!) indicated that the actors
of POA had a much easier time than the Star Wars actors. 
Specifically, in POA, they used a real horse for the hippogriff and
then worked magic to make the hippogriff.  In Star Wars, the actors
had to make believe strange beings were around using a blue screen. 
Apparently, hours of acting surrounded by blue gave their vision a
red tint.
