Daniel Radcliffe in Prisoner of Azkaban was about as close as the movies got to an accurate portrayal of book Harry Potter, but let’s be honest: We’re all still annoyed about the green eyes thing.
“Harry had a thin face, knobbly knees, black hair, and bright green eyes. He wore round glasses held together with a lot of Scotch tape because of all the times Dudley had punched him on the nose. The only thing Harry liked about his own appearance was a very thin scar on his forehead that was shaped like a bolt of lightning.”

Rupert Grint was a pretty convincing Ron, but he didn’t exactly live up to the constant references to Ron’s freckly face and long nose in the books.
“Someone was goggling through the bars at him: a freckle-faced, red-haired, long-nosed someone. Ron Weasley was at Harry’s window.”

Emma Watson lost Hermione’s trademark bushy hair in Prisoner of Azkaban, and it all went kind of downhill from there. She also never had Hermione’s “large front teeth”, but Hermione got rid of those in Goblet of Fire anyway, so she can be forgiven.
“She had a bossy sort of voice, lots of bushy brown hair, and rather large front teeth.”
