Not exactly.  I  have seen all the pictures from the movie sets and 
I'd say less than half coincide with my mental pictures.  However I 
do not think that the movie images will change my own perceptions of 
the Harry Potter settings/characters.  

These books are all about imagination, and if there are any good 
arguments against the movie one is that it could replace some 
people's imaginations.  

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have clear pictures of most 
Characters and settings from the books.  The movie will be a totally 
different medium and therefore I will try hard not to mix it with the 
books. After all that's the best (and sometimes worst) part about 
books- everyone takes what they want from them.

Not that I wouldn't change my perceptions/ideas about the books. Such 
as the pronouncement of Hermione, which for books one through three 
was her-AH-mean.  Where I got that from I still don't know!
