It&#x27;s just that we have predefined looks for a given type of characterization that sometimes adaptations don&#x27;t get quite right. With time I&#x27;ve gotten over the fact that yes, a character from an adaptation probably will look different from what I imagined and I expect it as a normal thing.<p>Think of it as personal stereotypes. For example I often imagine how a character looks before getting to the physical description and in that case it&#x27;s very hard to change my predefined image. Even if e.g. the description says it&#x27;s a tall blonde character with a big nose if I had already imagined the character small and with black hair I can&#x27;t change that throughout the book. I&#x27;ve actually tried to and it&#x27;s <i>very</i> hard. If I concentrate I&#x27;ll get the correct image out but next time I&#x27;ll encounter the character I will automatically think of the previous picture.<p>Personally I think this is pretty regular and other people are like that too, but how can I be sure?
