Me too. I'd rather have a movie that changes some elements but doesn't betray the spirit of the book, than something that's correct on all points but never comes to life.

Yes, exactly! I haven't seen the HP movies, but I agree regarding LOTR. Most of the changes didn't bother me too much ('cept Faramir, still a bit irked about that one) because the overall result was just so cool.

I too would like to hear from Bettany. So much of the spotlight has been on Crowe, but I adore Stephen and I want to hear about him!
