Once I've seen the movie I have that image in my head and have a hard time going back if the details are changed.
Exactly this! It's almost impossible to "delete" the image of characters, places, props, etc. from your mind and start fresh with the book. If the main character is played by a tall blond, that image of him in my mind won't change even if he's described as short and dark-haired in the book.
That's exactly what happened with me when The Vampire Diaries started. Elena was supposed to be a tall, gorgeous white-blonde. And Nina Dobrev was really, really not. Plus she was supposed to have a very young sister and her aunt was supposed to be quite a bit older. I don't necessarily think any of these changes were bad in the long run but GOD it was super hard to get past those when it first aired.
