I read LotR for the first time when I was about ten, right after the Bakshi film came out. But, I have an idea how the lack of internalization goes. I never really clicked with the Harry Potter books, so, while a lot of what Jackson did with LotR bugged me (although he also made several improvements in a book-to-film translation), I just didn't care that much about many of the changes made in the HP films.
