I would guess that he would probably like the "look" of the film, as in costumes, sets, etc. I think this has been said before... But I don't think he could approve of the film really. How would it even be possible? It was his dream, his "baby" and PJ's interpretation could never match up. Or at least, this is how I would feel in the situation. I think there was too much changed to really please him- if he'd wanted to make those changes he would! But there you go, such is life. I think he would understand- and a great side effect is that it has people reading the books more and falling in love with them. He's have to like that!
