Snape's Death Scene Altered

 

It was just released by the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Art Director, Andrew Ackland-Snow, that in Part two, the location of Severus Snape's death has been changed. He says,

"We wanted to change a bit where Snape dies. In the book, he dies on the Shrieking Shack, and we wanted to get him out from, not a conventional interior, but from that kind of box, to do it in a more dramatic atmosphere. We asked J.K. if she agreed for that to happen in there, because we hadn't really seen it before. We made a crystal house, and you can see what happens in the boat house from there - Are you listening Harry? -, but also the school is in flames...and she loved it. Besides, it's a very romantic place to die. Snape dies in a extremely good way, I gotta say."

Although altering the book makes me nervous, the fact that Rowling ok'ed it says a lot. What do you think? Shrieking Shack vs. Crystal House?
