That's exactly it right there. I want my own imagination to build the world and shape the characters in it. Even if I see the movie after I read the book, my mind morphs my imaginary world to something closer to the screen version. And special effects, especially with fantasy, can sometimes not be smoothly animated. I'm still deciding whether I want to watch the Harry Potter movies or not. Not to mention that I spend most of my spare time reading instead of in front of the tube.
