So, I finally went and watched the Harry Potter film tonight and it finally made sense: Months of Lugnet posts about HP sets, the various names (Room of the Winged Keys, Diagon Alley) of the sets, I finally understood all of them. My sister, (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Hi Calum, greetings from the west coast! :) (...) Oh yeah when I watched the movie, I basically experienced the same revelations as you - even though I read the book!

(...) Well I don't feel like saying "I told you so" but I had read all the books since the beginning of the year, with exception to the last 2 which I bought at the end of March. I really thought the movie was great, but due to the length of the (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I'd have to say at first hand, the movie scenes.... but some of the larger scenes, like the Hogwarts Castle, must have been in design, well in the development pipeline, for over a year, so too the Hogwarts Express, maybe some of the others in (...)

(...) Hi Bryan! (...) My suspicion is they probably had storyboards for the visual effects, set and production design departments done up during preproduction for the movie.

Well Soccer has done really well for them so I don't see them axing it anytime soon, though I have no idea why they put out a new soccer field that is not really any different than the old field.

(...) I can see how the Lego doesn't look anything like what you imagine from the book-of course everyone will have a different opinion and imagination.

(...) I would normally agree with you, that something translated from a book to another medium generally won't look like what you imagine.
