I agree. The characters, for me, remain the same in my mind as before I saw the movie. I do not think PJ will match up to my mental image of Treebeard at all.
But, Raefindel, I am as excited as you over his depictions of the background scenes - what khazad-dhum might have looked like, the immensity and splendor of the dwarven city; the settings of the cities; and especially, the battles - what the fortifications might have looked like, how the troops might have been deployed, etc. These are the scenes I can barely wait for in TTT and ROTK!
