Every book lover knows the exciting feeling of hearing that one of your beloved books will be adapted to the big screen.
There's also the exhilaration that comes from wildly speculating over which actor will be cast as your favorite character. Any book-to-movie connoisseur knows casting can make or break the entire adaptation.
Remember how Helena Bonham Carter absolutely stole the show as the evil, deceptively charming Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter series?
Or when Jennifer Lawrence perfectly encapsulated the stony demeanor and unshakeable determination of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games?
Remember when we fell in love with Lana Condor as she played the adorably feisty Lara Jean Covey in the rom-com classic To All the Boys I Loved Before?
Or when Billy Burke became everyone's favorite gun-toting, sheriff dad, Charlie Swan, in the iconic masterpiece Twilight?
