[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 1221571, member: 9298"] For POA,Tom is 14 playing 13, Rupert is 14 playing 13, Daniel is 13 playing 13, and Emma is 12 playing 13. (she just turned 13) The boys just had their first growth spurt and voice change a little earlier than normal. But since it already happened in CoS and we dealt with, there shouldnt be any more problems. And Draco is such a ridiculously UNIMPORTANT character that it doesnt matter how bad his haircut is,i mean, how old he looks. If they start filming GoF any time in the next year, you will have 15-17 year olds playing 14 year olds, a very common occurence. By OotP the age differences will still not be THAT severe (assuming they keep pumping out movies) The "problem" would be the last two unwritten books. But by then the characters woulkd be fully developed 16-17 year olds, and 20-something actors can play them without any problem. I can deal with re-castings, BUT I think this is a spot where it is not only unnecessary, it would help bring the downfall of the franchise. The mainstream audience that will be unnaturally cruel to any movies with a new cast. The cries of outrage over a new cast will be louder than any of the complaints over 3e or 3.5e I guarantee you. Re-casting is a BAD move. [/QUOTE]
