"Experts, readers, and critics agree, however, that it won't be easy
for director Christopher Columbus to bring to life Harry and his wizard
pals Hermione Granger (played by newcomer Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley
(newcomer Rupert Grint). The details of Rowling's universe have resided in
the imaginations of tens of millions of ardent fans since the books first
hit British best-seller lists in 1997, points out Ann Neely, an expert in
children's literature and education at Vanderbilt University. ''I think
children will be very adamant about the images they've been carrying
around for a few years. They are bound to disagree about what they end
up looking like on the screen.'' "
