In this episode, we discuss imaging from page to screen. Enjoy!
Topics/Summary:
· 1:53 Hogwarts. This is one of the best imaging feats in the series. The style of the castle set the mood for the rest of the story, and it was the first real breath of magic we witnessed in the films. The silhouette is one of the most famous in literature. But apart from the outside, the interior of the castle is also a fantastic translation from page to screen.

· 9:37 Voldemort. He is the big bad villain of the story. Voldemort’s image is much stricter and more outlined in the books, which gave the filmmakers a more difficult task. However, they still carried it out well. One change they made was keeping his eyes human instead of the book’s red.

· 15:57 Quidditch. This is the sport of the wizarding world and deserved a good representation, which is absolutely got. The thing that sets it apart is the amount of moving parts. The little things like the shape of the quaffle and the design of the stands make up such an interesting and magical picture that injects the charm of Harry Potter into the sport.

· 20:48 Ministry of Magic. Apart from the grates in front of the fireplaces and the fountain in the atrium, there are few descriptors. One choice that made the Ministry pop is the dark green stone. There have been few happy occasions when Harry was happy to enter, and that color is reflected in this.

· 24:21 Death Eaters. They have one of the most interesting costumed in the series. It is everything we read it to be, but it changed dramatically between films. From the graveyard to the Ministry, the Death Eaters had a complete wardrobe change. It was the perfect mix of magic and evil, metal and silk.
