"And I could add one thing quite many people misinterpretate from the moment the films come out; Saruman was NOT the one who sent the avalanche."

How is this misinterpreted when the film shows Saruman in his tower and the storm originating from Orthanc and focusing on Caradhras; Legolas says there is a fell voice in the air, Saruman; Aragorn yells, "He is trying to bring down the mountain"; Boromir screams, "This will be the death of the Halflings!"; Gandalf and Saruman engage in some spells/counter spells; a lightning bolt strikes the top of the mountain, and the fellowship is buried under snow. So what is the correct interpretation if we are not to conclude that Saruman is causing this havoc?
