Agreed, on both points. I think many of the characters changed somewhat in the last couple of books under the influence of the movies, which isn't really that surprising. Even as the creator, I imagine it would have been impossible for JKR to erase from her mind all traces of the screenwriter's and actors' interpretations.
Yeah, good point. Especially as JKR still advised and approved a lot in the films.
There was even a moment or two where I genuinely thought I might have skipped a page and went back to make sure I hadn't.

Glad that it wasn't just me!
