Has you image of the characters changed?

[Scott <insanus_scottus@yahoo.co.uk>]

I think this is a really interesting question that...erm...well I 
*hate* to say that I think of the movie characters now, because that 
makes my imagination sound a bit uhhh nonexistent, and that simply 
isn't true. (not that I'm trying to offend anyone by that remark, 
but you know what I mean...right?) The truth is I think it's a 
mixture of the two.

However more than picturing Dan et al. when I read I *hear* them. 
There are definitely some lines that come out in Dan's voice in my 
head. Is that weird? 

Assuming clever list format:

Characters that have in some way fused with my imagination
--Dan Radcliffe as Harry
--Emma Watson as Hermione
--Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid
--Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall
--Sean Biggerstaff as Oliver Wood
--John Hurt as Ollivander
--Alan Rickman as Snape (sometimes. I'm beginning to warm to that 
odd cadence in voice- something that in the past really grated on my 
nerves.)
--David Bradley as Argus Filch
--Christian Coulson as Tom Riddle

Hmmm...
--Jason Issacs...I can't decide
--Rupert Grint...???

Characters that...well...not so much.
--Richard Harris as Dumbledore
--The Phelps twins as Gred and Forge
--Dobby
--Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy
--whatever it was as Firenze

That's really the only one's I can think of at the moment...well 
think of with the aid of imdb.com that is...

speaking of which did anyone ever decide if that Knockturn Alley 
witch *was* Jo? I'mSure it's been mentioned, but imdb lists her for 
the part.

Seriously though for the most part the characters do fit in some 
form or fashion. I also, after watching SS, went back and read CoS 
*trying* to picture the characters and...it didn't really fit. Now I 
find that they slip in unwarranted. (because they fit so well and 
not because I am being lax.)

Speaking of which..more than characters I think that the movies have 
changed my sense of the settings...I *love* the Gryffindor Common 
room (I want to live there), and for some reason I always though the 
Dursley's house was detached or semi-detached, never in a row, but 
now I see it a bit differently.

I didn't picture the King's Cross barrier quite like that, but then 
thats always been a problem as there isn't a barrier b/w 9and10 at 
all.

The Castle, well...I love the great hall it's just how I imagined 
it, but there doesn't seem to be an entrance hall...hmmm.

I'd be interested to know what you guys thought of the sets in 
addition to characters.
