Characters I pictured very differently from their movie versions, part 1:
Petunia. Dudley. Hermione. Neville.
This isn't a criticism of the films or the actors. My issues with the films have always been about how characters were written, not how they looked. A face matters less than the personality.
Characters I imagined very differently from their movie versions:
•Petunia and Dudley
•Hermione and Neville
•Krum and Fleur
•Barty Crouch Jr.
•Umbridge, Scrimgeour and
Slughorn
I'm not criticising the actors. They were excellent. My complaints about the films have always been about how characters were written, not how they looked. No cast will match every reader's picture, and the personality is what counts
