The Characters come to Life

Usually people have some idea how characters look in books. More often than not, when the movie comes out there's a lot of annoyance over the actors. You see actors play a key role in a reader's life. We, regularly, read the book prior to  visiting the cinema, therefore we have our own versions of how the character should look, talk and walk (well maybe not walk....)
I have a formed imaginary cast of specific characters from books without movie versions (..for the present time)

The Night Circus

Celia Bowen

(From left to right)
Alexis Bledel,
Lily Collins,
Emma Watson

Ben Barnes,
or
Gaspard Ulliel

 Liesel
 
Willow Shields

or
F. Murray Abraham
Mrs. Hubermann

(not what I had in mind but close enough)
 
The Gallagher Girls
 
Cammie
Shatiene Woodley

Bex
 
Tiffany Hines
 
Liz
Brigit Mendler

Hush Hush

Scott
Alex Pettyfer
 
 
The Summer I turned Pretty

    Willow Sheilds is the perfect Liesel, and I love your choices for the Hubermanns! This is such a great post idea, and I form a picture of the character In my mind all the time. When they're adapted into films this can be frustrating, if they're not how you've pictured them but I sometimes love the casting choices. Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss was a perfect choice and so was Josh Hutcheson as Peeta, as well as Shailene Woodely playing Hazel in The Fault in Our Stars!

      Thanks! Yeah, Willow looks exactly how I would picture Liesel. And Jennifer as Katniss was spot on.
      I did not know that Shailene Woodley is Hazel .....! :/
      Can't wait to read the book!
