Oh, that is *gorgeously* observed. All I thought was that he made the Trio look so small in the vastness, but yes. This.

Excellent point about Snape being filmed heroically -- true. Loved the cloak trailing up the stairs. It was a nicely atmospheric beginning.

The camping landscapes were well-done, too -- an entire wizard-world topography that seems to exist independent of Muggles. Such desolate grandeur, such emphasis on how all has changed.

As strong a job as I thought the Trio did, I did miss the Usual Suspects -- the royal acting family. They always add such depth, even when they're being mannered. The film just felt flatter without them.

And Kingsley -- yeah, he looks too much like a lugubrious bassett hound or something; I wanted someone sleeker, smoother, more personally lynx-like. an FDR with a silvery lynx in tow hahaha -- exactly.

I agree about Godric's Hollow. It was one of my favourite moments in the book. I'm a huge Lily-follower and I needed that circle-around moment of Harry at the place he would have grown up in.

Side note: Did he bust through the wall to his old nursery when fighting "Bathilda?" Creeeeepy.
