Setting
The setting has taken place in a ancient looking hall. There are floating candles in the air showing that this place is magical. The torches on the outside of the hall show that it is ancient and a old building. The ceiling isn’t normal since it looks like the sky, also showing that this is a magical place. There are long wooden tables indicating that the place isn't normal and that it is also quite ancient. The setting immediately shows that this place has magical people in it or people that are not usual.
The chair that Dumbledore uses to sit on is bigger and has a different shape to the other students or teachers chairs. The colour of his chair is also gold, with different patterns into it. This shows that he is higher up than everyone else in importance.
The lights at the side are light by flames showing that this is around the time when people used candles. The cups that the students use don't look normal and same with the plates, showing that this is a different kind of school and that it is old.
The colour of the hall is very plain and basic wood, which makes the ceiling look more extravagant. The teachers are right at the front on a higher level than the students showing that they are the teachers, and they also have long candles on their tables which the students don't have, indicating their privileges.
Costume
The costumes in this clip show each individuals character apart from the students. The students look smart with their gowns and ties. Most schools don't wear gowns as school uniform, so this shows that they are not at a normal school.
Hagrid’s costume represents his character since he is the schools key and grounds keeper which means that he will be outside a lot, and so the colours of his outfit blends into the nature with earthy colours.
Dumbledore represents a classic wizard ( long beard, hat, long cloak), his outfit is very heavy looking, indicative the weight that he carries in the school as the head master. His cloak is a thick c silky velvet with fur around the color.
The cloaks and Dumbledore’s tassel on his hat adds to the impression that this is a school from which students would graduate. In this case graduating in the mastery of wizardry.
Professor Mc Gonagall is wearing a long velvet green cloak which swishes when she moves, making her character seem important, the richness of the fabric also indicates her status in the school. She wears a traditional pointed black witches hat which is slightly crooked at the top this gives her more of an endearing and matronly character.
The school care taker is wearing a brown coat which blends in with the colours of the wall paneling. This along side the cut and design of the outfit gives the care taker a rather ominous and scary appearance. The fact that he is almost camouflage and blends in with the walls, means that he can appear almost out of nowhere enhancing his ominous persona.
Professor Snape wears black robes matching his black hair, this represents the ‘darkness’ of slithering, the house he represents. His rope swishes behind him as he moves quickly, showing that his character is quite sly and slithery like an angry snakes tail as it swishes. His hair is also slimy looking and sleek.
Lighting
The lighting at the beginning of this scene is quite bright, which shows that it is cheerful, the flames burning brightly indicate a new beginning. The flames are not dying down, they are intense and burning well, showing a new start.
The lighting also helps the mood of excitement and anticipation with what is to come.
The lighting throughout the scene stays the same, which shows that the whole of this scene is bright and cheerful, a celebration of the beginning of a new school year and the selection of new pupils into their respective school houses.
Character movement and expression
Professor Mc Gonagalls character is quite high up in the school, since she leads the children in in a orderly fashion into the hall and the way she walks shows that she can be quite firm as a teacher but a caring mother to them as well. The way she stands when she is talking to the students is up right which makes her seem quite strict.
Dumbledore is sitting on a golden chair and when he stands up its quite slow, showing that he is old. He speaks like his voice is weak and it makes him come across as old and wise. The way he speaks and looks towards the children makes the viewers understand that he is also a nice person.
Hermiones character is very clever and this is shown by some of the first things she says in the beginning of this scene. When she walks up to have the hat chose her school house, she seems really confident as well as being worried.
Harry potter walks seems to be more shy when he goes up to have the hat put on him, his facial expressions show that he is scared even when the hat is on his head. He is looking up at the hat worried that anything could happen. Harry looks intelligent and by the way he speaks also shows this.
Draco Malfoy
Draco is Latin for dragon, ultimately the ancient Greek drakōn, meaning serpent. The first part, mal, should be easily recognised as meaning evil or bad. It shows up in English in such words as malevolent, malicious or malign, and comes from the Latin adjective "malus" meaning evil or bad.

Blond hair is usually associated with people that are innocent and sweet
but in Malfoy's case it makes him look... evil and devious

Hagrid is an enthusiastic and cheerful character who is always thoughtful towards others and relatively fatherly towards harry. He is constantly giving advice to harry and the students and he is always positive during the hardest of times. Many of the students go to him for help since he is a caring and helpful person and always making them feel welcome. His appearance can seem scruffy and dirty, but deep down he is a soft and gentle person.

Prof Dumbledore is a major character in series of films. He is a loving and wise man that helps Harry grow up. He is mysterious closed and secretive and you don’t find out about his life until the last few films after he dies. His style dress is quirky and interesting and suggests academic gowns.
Has a very big role in the Harry Potter films. His appearance is very magical and this is demonstrated by the style of his robes which includes stars and necklaces. He has a very mysterious and secretive character and you only really get a sense of what he is like in the last couple of films before he dies. He only confides in a few characters. The mysteriousness of this character has the effect of extending audience interest.
Is one of the main characters in the Harry Potter series. He is closed off secretive character but he enjoys teaching harry about the magical enters from book one and seems to think particularly fondly of him. Although he the loudest character in the films he is a very brave intelligent one who seems to put others before himself. He is a very magical character clothes and character wise. The robes that he wears especially suggest that he is a smart man and his wizard hat emphasises that he is a magical character. The beard also implies a certain level wisdom about his character and the colour contrast between his dark grey clothes and his lighter grey beard suggests that he is quite a neutral man- this could also reflect back on his fairly consistent personality.

Severus Snape is quite a major character with a dark and sinister appearance. He is shifty and deceptive, with an unsettling look.
Is a mysterious character that keeps the audience guessing whether he is good or bad. His first appearance makes him look particularly evil with his dark looks. These being his robes, hair and physical looks (pallid and sallow).
Is a dark and complicated character to understand. The way he acts suggests that he is shifty and evil person but nearer the end of the movies he turns out to be good. He seems bitter and cold towards the students he teaches as if not wanting to show his true colours
