Do the actors look different than the book? Yes. Do the actors portraying these beloved characters bring their charm and charisma to life? YES. To everyone saying that they only chose Leah to have diversity is completely overlooking her performance. We've barely gotten to see Annabeth thus far, but I can already tell why Leah was chosen. Her persona is the perfect mix of strength and wisdom. Aryan's and Walker's performances were amazing as well. So for those of you hating on this adaptation, I got you a pair of winged shoes...
