** Somewhat zig-zagged with Mrs. Coulter. Ruth Wilson portrays her with dark brown hair, just as the character was first described as having in the initial trilogy. However, Philip Pullman was so taken with Nicole Kidman’s blonde tresses in the film, he declared he’d been “wrong” in making her brunette and has subsequently written Coulter as fair-haired.
