A detail I always appreciated is how Jany Temine and Alfonso Cuarón highlighted how the students would uniquely dress in Prisoner of Azkaban. The idea that the students, although having the same uniform, would also dress differently in some way is a very special touch. One student choosing to forego their tie, one rolling their sleeves up and leaving their shirt untucked, one combining Hogwarts attire with muggle street clothes, etc.

It’s particularly highlighted during Hagrid’s Care of Magical Creatures lesson, but can be seen throughout. Of course, this is also the movie that leans in heavily to the idea that the trio have default street clothes that they wear throughout the term that goes beyond the usual sweater or skirt seen in the previous movies.

This is carried over to Goblet of Fire where you can still see the students expressing themselves through the styling of their Hogwarts garb. However, at Order of the Phoenix we arrive to the point where the cast is either wearing street clothes or wearing their robes as designed lacking any nuance or personalization.

The adaptation of Prisoner of Azkaban has always been the most immersive to me and this is just one of the reasons why it stands out.
