LOL!  Actually, somehow I can see this. She's a very young-looking 
lady, and *could* probably pass for late teens in a pinch.  And she's 
adorable in a vaguely snippy, a bit pinched way .... :-P

What really makes me happy is that the little gal who played Ginny in 
the first movie appears to be reprising her role in the second!  I 
thought she was perfect, just by looks and by the fact that even 
though she had one line and otherwise stood around doing little at 
all, she didn't have that "ooh, I'm a totally untrained actress in a 
really big movie and I have no clue what I'm doing!" look about her.

Also, this is unconfirmed, but Kevin J. O'Connor is rumored to be the 
voice for Dobby.  More perfect!  I'm hearing the vocal inflections he 
used in the Mummy movies, and, so completely Dobby.

La-lala, I'm a happy girl!
