How did you first picture Nathaniel?

I pictured him as the main character from Persona 3. Until I got to the page where Bartimaeus said that Nathaniel would look like a girl if you looked at him from behind in a dark alley. That gave me the idea that Nat curled his hair.

Anyways, what I really wanted to talk about was the ending. I didn't put the ending in the topic title cause I wouldn't want people to go,"Oh great, another 'Discuss the ending' topic." But I can't help it. The ending pissed me off. SPOILERS IN THE NEXT SET OF PARENTHESES!(Anyone seen Death Note? I've seen the ending and the episode before that one and a couple of other episodes. It made the same impact as this book. Just wanted to let you all know.) Anyways, could it be possible that at the absolute second before Nathaniel got hit, that when he said the dismissal stuff that he would've gone to the Other Place also? I mean, they were in the same body. Nat could've been sucked in too, right? Now I know what Bart said at the last second, but he could've been lying. After all, Bart did make everything dramatic. <_<

I don't really picture characters, I picture scenarios
..that makes sense...
right? :gladstone:

Unfortunately. I have a hard time picturing somethings clearly and having them stay consistant. Especially with colour 'cuz for some reason it looks a little like the characters/settings are drawn with black ink on a page the same colour as the one I'm reading the book on. Tinged with the colour of the cover.

But yeah Nathaniel looked a bit like Harry Potter when I first read the book. Or Artemis Fowl. Gahhh! Why do all main characters have black hair?

Because blondies are always the "cute" (so says the lady in the novel) and are rivals of the black haired protagonists and red heads always appear to be always secondary and minor characters.
But Bartimaeus Trilogy is different....
'Cuz Bart technically doesn't have hair! :P

But Nat and Kitty both have black hair...

so did I. I had to keep reminding myself that he had black hair.

I pretty much pictured him the way he was described... but, oddly, with short hair.

I pictured him with curly black hair. And blue eyes. And rather scrawny. I can't find a picture like him.

Slightly skinny, Brown eyes, medium in height with dark brown hair is how I pictured Nathaniel first.
Short, skinny, weak with a pale but intense face is how I picture Nat. Mightbe not all that short.

I've always imagined him strikingly similar to Light from Death Note (more so John Mandrake than Nathaniel, I guess). Just make his hair black instead of brown.

Oof, coincidences not fun...
Anyways, I pretty much go with N&B's version.
Just not too short.
Not quite lanky, but not stumpy either.

I had him a bit like Adam Brody in the first series of the OC. skinny and lanky, very pale. black hair. only Nats hair should be long and straight.
Go bluer now, a royal hue, and look for information.
Who they are, their age and such should be your inclination.
