Hopefully someday they will do the Harry Potter books PBS style, with each book getting multiple 2 hour "moviettes". Like what A&E did with "Pride and Prejudice".

She is so particularly described as "frog-like" and wearing an Alice Band (a hair band for those US types that never saw the Tennille drawings for Alice in Wonderland!). You are right about that--but it was so long since I had read the book that I had forgotten all about the description of her. I have to admit, she wasn't what I would have chosen, but I thought it was an interesting interpretation all the same. And at 138 minutes, the movie was quite long enough. You can't do a 700 page book as one movie without cutting something. And if each book was made into 3 movies, well, that is 21 films, in all, isn't it?
