It's just that we have predefined looks for a given type of characterization that sometimes adaptations don't get quite right. With time I've gotten over the fact that yes, a character from an adaptation probably will look different from what I imagined and I expect it as a normal thing. Think of it as personal stereotypes. For example I often imagine how a character looks before getting to the physical description and in that case it's very hard to change my predefined image. Even if e.g. the description says it's a tall blonde character with a big nose if I had already imagined the character small and with black hair I can't change that throughout the book. I've actually tried to and it's very hard. If I concentrate I'll get the correct image out but next time I'll encounter the character I will automatically think of the previous picture. Personally I think this is pretty regular and other people are like that too, but how can I be sure?
