I think that the Harry Potter movie franchise would best be served to film Order of the Phoenix and The Half-Blood Prince at the same time.
Fan sites and movie reviewers are constantly speculating about the possiblities of the original actors being cut due to aging. If this is a real risk, the best solution would be to simply film 5 and 6 together before some of the older cast (like Rupert Grint/Ron Weasley) from having to be cut due to age.
Although he's the only actor of the primary 3 with the largest risk (he'll be 17/18 when filming on OoTP starts) to be cut, it would be terrible to break apart the original 3.
Some of the magic of the Harry Potter movies is that there arent many visual diffrence that remind you you're watching a series of movies between each sequal. The actors all remain the same. If you change a primary (or even favorable supporting) actor you kinda jar a viewer out of that "place" and force them to start speculating on the changes.
Though Book 7 obviously cannot be filmed yet considering its not complete, 5 and 6 can and should be. Which should give the actors a decent vacation before filming 7. Additionally it would reduce the age diffrence of the actors to their characters for all 3 books.
Could a 21 year old Rupert really pass for a 17 year old Ron? Look at the guy that played Viktor Krum? He was HUGE! That guy was way older then 17 heh.
