Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is too 'not-skinny'

Eh, well, if the cast has to be *that* point-on, the fact that Daniel 
is sprouting up quickly (almost taller than Rupert/'Ron' instead of 
the other way around) should nix him.  But, for that matter, they 
cast Daniel despite the fact that he has *blue* eyes, and they do 
nothing to change his eye color in the film to green.

Personally, I think Daniel is dead-on as Harry, and I hope they don't 
let little things like height and weight change his casting (as they 
did not, apparently, due to eye color).  Imho, they're not going to 
find an absolute exact physical match, so I hope they stick to a kid 
who can bring out the essence of Harry.

Er. If that makes sense.  Sorry; I'm in a hurry!
