**[[Rubeus Hagrid's cabin|Hagrid's Hut]] is now located down the hill to the back of the castle.
+
**[[Rubeus Hagrid's cabin|Hagrid's Hut]] has changed location and shape; In the first two films, the hut is made up of only one room and is located close to the entrance to the [[Bell Tower|Bell Towers]] and Greenhouses. In this and future films, the hut now consists of two rooms and is located down the hill to the back to the castle, about half way between the [[Entrance Gates]] and the [[Sundial Garden]] and now has a pumpkin patch next to it.

**The location of the portrait of the [[Fat Lady]], the entrance to the [[Gryffindor Tower|Gryffindor Common Room]], has been moved to the [[Grand Staircase]]. The appearance of the Fat Lady has also changed, with a [[Dawn French|different actress]], background, and ball gown from the first film:
+
One possible explanation could be that Hagrid was promoted to new bigger living quarters closer to the castle after getting the Care of Magical Creatures job, enabling him to perform both his teaching and grounds-keeping duties easily. It would also give students a safer place to take lessons, away from the forest.

**The location of the portrait of the [[Fat Lady]], the entrance to the [[Gryffindor Tower|Gryffindor Common Room]], has been moved to the [[Grand Staircase]]. The appearance of the Fat Lady has also changed, with a [[Dawn French|different actress]], background, and ball gown from the first film: In the first film, the Fat Lady is played by Elizabeth Spriggs. She is shown with black hair and a pink silk dress and she doesn't seem to have much personality. Oddly, this version of her is not particularly fat. Her portrait is located at the end of a corridor somewhere in the castle, but its location is never specified. The Fat Lady as portrayed by Spriggs moves only when approached by a student and very little at that. She also asks for the password, ensuring more effective concealment of the common room. In the first film, given the Fat Lady's dress and background, she seems to have lived in the sixteenth century Europe. The Spriggs version of the Fat Lady's portrait is also used in the video game adaptations of Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets.

In this film she is played by Dawn French, who portrays the character with a more humorous side, such as giving her a bad singing voice (possibly from the saying "the fat lady sings"). This iteration of her is much, much fatter than the previous one. She is much louder and more flamboyant and would be obvious to any passing members of other houses, who would also be able to hear Gryffindor students as they gave her the password, which this version of the portrait is reluctant to listen to. By this time, her portrait has been moved to the seventh floor of the Grand Staircase Tower. The portrait is shown to swing backwards rather than forwards in this film as well. In the third film, given the Fat Lady's dress and background, she seems to have lived during the Classical period.

In the first film, the entrance to Gryffindor Tower is on one end of a hallway. Whereas in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and the video game adaptations of [[''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']] and [[''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], it is located on the [[Seventh Floor]] of the [[Grand Staircase Tower]]. As the shape of the common room doesn't change, one explanation of this change of location may be that these particular stairs were not there in the first movie, and were built to replace the corridor during the summer of 1992, before Harry's third year started.

**The [[Whomping Willow]] is in a different location than it was in'' Chamber of Secrets''; in the earlier film, the Willow was very close to the school and inside the [[Training Grounds]]. In this film, the willow is a considerable distance from the school, on the side of a slope and amidst rocky terrain.
