It’s because it was offensive to Americans seeing children being fed at school

In the books, the school putting out a huge feast for the students is supposed to show the stark contrast of starvation and abuse Harry went through prior to Hogwarts. If this is a sign of how little effort they’re putting in I’m thrilled.. Let it bomb and bomb hard. Terfs don’t deserve our time or money

I think the most offensive detail is the tray. In the books the meals are teleported directly onto the tables so you can stay put with your plate and just get whatever you like. No need for a tray to carry your food to your seat at the table

Iirc this is from regular breakfast in the trailer, not the huge start of the year feast

I think what people miss here is that this is Americanisation that is the norm in most US movies. While the original movies were distributed by Warner Brothers, the producers were largely British, so where many other important people in the making of that movie. So they apparently stayed their ground in staying closer to the British source material. In the remake those safeguards are gone. People just realise it because they see the contrast to the original. But look at other US movies, so much of it has fantasy scenarios that are still very “USified”, to not confuse the US audience too much. This is the most obvious when Hollywood takes up a successful foreign movie and makes a complete US “remake”.
