Oh... oh...oh... Too hard! 
I think honey has the edge, though. 
Syrup or black treacle?

I haven't seen any of the films, and was wondering what the new one was like, not that it is likely I'll get a chance to see it soon.
The images I have in my mind are from both reading the book and seeing the illustrations by Charles Robinson - if a film didn't compare well to the book it would be disappointing to me.
My nephew absolutely loved the Harry Potter series but told his mother when the films started coming out he wouldn't go see them. He had his version of the stories in his mind, and didn't want them disturbed. My sister told me he didn't think the film versions could match his version.
I thought the same about LOTR but was pleasantly surprised that it generally matched my own impressions. What disappointed me greatly was the huge lump cut out between leaving the shire and arriving at Bree.

I'm re-reading The Secret Garden By Frances Hodgson Burnet and enjoying every word of it. It is just the right story at the moment, for me, at least.
I saw the new film of the Secret Garden when it came out. Not a bad film in its own right but disappointing compared to the book and previous version.
