It is amazing that the filmmakers were able to tie together and

Of course, I still find it amazing that the books have pushed kids to
read several thousand pages of text.
I suspect it's the fact of the latter graf that's influenced the events
you described in the former. The books have done a lot for youth
literacy and have raised the bar regarding what's acceptable children's
lit; I'd bet that had a real influence in which actors/actresses were
willing to be recruited for the movies.
