Book Harry vs. Movie Harry

     I was having a discussion with a couple of friends about Harry 
Potter, and one of them said that since the movie came out, whenever 
she reads the books she pictures the movie characters in her head.  
And she was a little disappointed that she had 'lost' her orginal 
image of Harry in her mind.  

When I read the books I still have my own version of the characters 
that I picture, I don't think of Daniel Radcliffe or Rupert Grint 
when I read Harry and Ron.  I was wondering what other readers of HP 
have experienced.  Have you kept your own versions of the characters 
or do you picture the movie characters?  Now when I read fanfic, I 
have a totally different set of images, mostly because the characters 
are a little bit older.  But I'm interested to hear what other 
readers have to say.

Thanks!

Sarah
