One aspect I actually liked about the Harry Potter films is they did a good job designing Hogwarts. It captured the whimsy of a fantasy Wizard school very well.
Another commenter pointed it out first, but the first book is very much a rags-to-riches story. Harry goes from eating table scraps in a small closet to living in extraordinary opulence. Thrifted clothes that don't fit to sleeping in a silk and velvet bed. The movie set designers went fucking crazy and it was the right call.
Yeah I never read the books but even I got kind of pumped at the first film. You do really feel for Harry, going from being surrounded by the most awful British pigs ever to getting to play around in a castle in the Scottish Highlands and getting to ride brooms and shit. Ultimate kid fantasy.
