Wow, thanks for all the replies. I've only heard people lament the
future loss of these wonderful actors, so it was really nice to read
that a lot of you feel as I do.
And someone asked if I posted the question after something they said
about Zimmer... no, not at all. It's something I've been planning to
post about for a while after seeing the topic pop up here and there
for a while. I just chose yesterday to actually sit down and compose
the post.
Anyway... a few things I wanted to say.

Actually, Clark IS a freshman.. that's why he was chosen for the
scarecrow prank. And, freshman are either 13 or 14. Okay, so I'll
retract my 13 and grant that he is 14. The driving age (at least to
get a permit) in some states in the midwest IS 14.. so it works fine.
But anyway.. that was just minor.
Let's see... a few of you mentioned the actors not continuing because
of wanting to do other things. Well, as some stated, having a year
off would grant them that opportunity. But... even if not.. is it
just me... or does anyone else get annoyed when people abandon the
projects that made them big stars? Like David Duchovny. If it
wasn't for "The X-Files," most people still wouldn't know who he
was.. yet he got borred with the series. There are quite a number of
actors who do things like this... look at ER and NYPD Blue. Then
they leave the show and don't really do much anyway.
I would just really be annoyed if these kids got such big heads that
they would forsake the HP movies to go do other stuff. I don't know,
maybe it's just me.
Of course 7-10 years IS quite a bit of time to devote to all this.
But I'm sure there will be breaks to do other stuff. And even if
there isn't, they will still be quite young (early 20s) when they
finish.
Did anyone else read that Daniel Radcliffe would like to study
autism? I thought that was so great.. It seems he's contemplated
the idea of working with kids with autism... if the acting thing
isn't for him.
Something else I keep thinking about: with how on earth long it's
taking JKR to write the 5th book, how long will it be before book 6
and 7 come out? All actors may have to take an extended break just
to wait for the BOOKS to come out... let alone the movies!
