This is not the only reason they're rushing into back to back productions,
remember, we have more movies then we do books currently, meaning there's
going to be three years of movies more then we have books to keep us
interested, they want to rush them out as soon as is humanly possible,
(while still being good mind you, these people are smart), rather then
letting any of the fever die down.

I don't think they're worried about them 'aging' persay, but looking the age
they need them to. People age differently and several can look older and
some can look younger (and there's some like me who can fake it either
way). But you cannot take giant leaps with age, such as a fifteen year old
cannot play a 45 year old part and a 45 year old cannot be a fresh faced 15
year old teen.
They're speeding along production to keep the kids within the general age
range, such as Tom Felton for Draco and such. It's hard working on long
term projects with aging kids since they do age so differently but generally
that's not a problem unless the kids look too much older then they're parts.
But right now, as it stands I do not think they will put any thought into
re-casting unless one of the actors backs out of future movies, which is
likely considering they're ages and the years proposed for the movies, or
one gets fired for some reason. We can look forward to enjoying at least
three movies with our young actors and you never know, we could very well
enjoy any new cast members they bring in just as much as we do the current
gang.
