>From convervations with fans that I have had, there seems to be a
diffrence between people who started with the books and people who
began with the movies. The book people seem to be able to retain
their original conception of the characters no matter who portrays
them in the movies. For them, I suspect that most of the movie
characters seem wrong or ill cast. Most likely it's nearly impossible
to match a fan's imagination with a particular actor, although, for
me, Luna and Umbridge come fairly close to what I imagined, Choosing
young actors is even more difficult because one cannot predict how
they'll grow. For example, in the books, Ron is tall and gangly,
while Fred and George are short and stocky. As you all know, Ron in
the movies is somewhat short and stocky, while the twins are well
over six feet tall. And Hermione in the books is depicted as somewhat
plain with prominent front teeth, while the movie Hermione is at the
very least cute. Still, I think that Chris Columbus did a fine job
selecting the three principal actors, if only because they have
managed to stay out of trouble and stick with the series.
