Still forming your own images of Middle-earth, or stuck with Elijah and co.?

[Kitanna]

I saw the FOTR before reading the books so all the characters in FOTR I have visions of them as the actors who played them. Sometimes I see Aragorn and Sam differently, but I don't think I can ever see Boromir other then as Sean Bean and the same goes for Merry and Pippin. However I read TTT before the movie came out and, as strange as this is, I envisioned Eowyn as this tough viking type woman. Buff and strong, but when I saw the movie I was surprised at how skinny and (to me) somewhat frail looking she was. Not that Mirando Otto didn't do a great job, but my whole view of Eowyn changed after seeing the movie. I didn't like her as much as I did in the books.
