I don't have many mental images of the books. I don't visualize the
characters, but I *hear* what (I think) they sound like. Stephen Fry and Jim
Dale have had more of an influence on how I think of the characters than the
actors.

Well, except for Alan Rickman. I can hear him as Snape when I read. Not that
I'm complaining.  ;-)

Diagon Alley looked right, as did Hogwarts. The only thing I didn't care for
was the Quidditch match. I never had a good visual grip on what it should
look like, but I know it's not supposed to remind me quite so strongly of
the Pod Race in Phantom Menace. <g>
