23. We had an entire thread on this not too long ago.

I went through the books quoting excerpts to show where the author had pictured a much smaller lithe woman. The one thing I forgot to mention was, that it was important that the character look small and thin because her defense mechanism was to climb high into the trees where no one could reach her.

Before we get into another argument over this, I said that though she was not cast to type, Jennifer Lawrence is an amazing actress and her body stature plays less of a role in the next two books. Glad to see her representing the franchise.
