Well...

I saw that they will have illustrations in the book.

I am afraid that these may ruin imaginations in the way whcih a movie might.

well, did the cover art ruin your imagination? It probably won't be too bad...

And if you're planning on seeing the films, does it really matter whether your imagination gets ruined by those or by illustrations?

You might not see the movie? I'm definitely going to see it/them, even if people say they're not that good (which they haven't, I'm just saying hypothetically if they did...).

I'm going to see them, I'll be afraid - but I have to be strong!

especially when that free food is candy!

Will · Postby **Will** » Tue Apr 15, 2003 9:50 pm

Especially when those sweets are fruit pastels.

Isobel · Postby **Isobel** » Tue Apr 15, 2003 9:51 pm

Or chocolate. :wink:

Yeah, chocolate is better than sweets. My sister gave up sweets for lent, but she thought that it was already over so she pigged out yesterday

Yeah, movies ruin the books if I see the movie then read the book. It's hard for me to get away from the movie, but I usually can. Sometimes, if I read the book then see the movie, I get stray movie images. Horridly annoying.

Sometimes illustrations bug me, too. If I ever wrote a novel/novelette, I wouldn't have illustrations of the charcacters on the cover, even.

Illustrations are just someone else's imagination. sometimes it's nice, like seeing the alethiometer, but other times, you want to make your own image.

I like illustrations, and films of books. If I like them, then sometimes I start to visualize the characters and settings looking like they did in the pictures or the film, which doesn't bother me. But if I don't like it, I don't have that hard of a time blocking out and keeping my original ideas. And whether or not I agree with it, I think it's interesting to see how other people "see" a book.
