How do you picture the chracters?

A mix of all of them. A lot of characters are just my imagination, some of the more important ones are how Brett draws them, but some, like Uncle Monty and Aunt Josephine, are how they were in the movie.

I actually imagined Aunt Josephine as a short, wrinkly woman with red-graying hair tied back in a tight bun, sort of like a shorter Maggie Smith. And I think the only illustration we got of her was her hand.

I voted for all of them. Sometimes I see them as they are drawn, or how I imagine them. And sometimes I see them as they are in the movie, which can be pretty funny if I'm making a story about them. ;D

I picture the Baudelaires and Olaf and Esmé, Carmelita and Monty and some other minor characters quite similar to their illustrations, but the others I just imagine.

Movie Josephine looks quite like what I thought she'd look like.

Did you guys really think that Meryl Streep looked like the Josephine portrayed in the text? I mean, I thought once I saw it on screen that it wasn't a bad representation, but it was certainly different, wasn't it? Here: Page 12 of TWW says that Josephine was a "pale woman with her white hair piled high on top of her head in a bun." The movie hair was okay, but does that description make you think of Josephine as a bit older than Streep played her? And then she is "smiling thinly" and on page 15 points a "pale and skinny finger..."

I voted for a mix between how Brett draws 'em and how I imagine them.

[Angel]

Yeah, same here.
