Me: I agree. I don't tend to get actual images of characters in my head, I more get a sense of them. For me, Hermione is very much Emma Watson now, because Emma is so very Hermione-looking (except prettier). Ron to me is taller, cleverer, more languid and sarcastic. I also picture him having a Northern accent - but maybe that's because I sometimes see myself in Ron ;) Harry is very like Dan, but not quite the same. And Draco never really had an image in my head, he was more like a cruel flash. So Felton is like Emma, they ARE the characters to me. 

Now, like most people, I imagined Cedric as blonde too. Why? Well, I think Steve answered the question admirably. I just picture someone as honourable and upright as Cedric as having blonde hair - maybe it's an angel complex, it's the idea of him having almost a halo. As it is, I think if they cast Cedric with dark hair, my image will change, but at the moment he's blonde to me. 

And I'd like to see Jack Ryder playing him, just because I think he's very Cedric like. However, Charlie Hunnam would scare me, because I see him doing ANYTHING and I just think of Nathan Maloney, the brattiest kid in Canal Street. Ah, how I laughed when Hazel and Donna give him and Dazz some of Bernie's bucket... heehee

I don't know this Henry Cavill kid though - sounds intriguing!
