I agree. It is very sad how so many who have seen the movies after reading the books have lost their original pictures of things. Fortunately for me, I myself am now (three years after the movies) beginning to recover my old pictures, (though not all of them were lost).
Oddly, I nowadays never consider the movies even the same story as the book...
If Christopher has had his own scenery for 60 years, would a few movies be able to destroy it?
