Thoughts on GROWING Actors.

[boyblue_mn]

I know there is some concern about the HP actors changing
 physically to an extent that they deemed no longer suitable
for the roles. I think that's just plain stupid.

Harry growing and changing is written into the book. He gets
taller an has to buy new robes, etc....

So I think they should just let the character grow on screen 
the way kids grow in real life. They all seem like reasonably
normal kids, so I don't foresee anything usuall in their 
development.

Also, keep in mind that most TV and movie teen are played by
people in their 20's. So you are not going to see much 
physical change the way you would with a real teen. Plus, 
fictional characters never age. They are perpetually stuck at
the age they were in the first story.

I think that's a mistake to expect that in the case of Harry 
Potter. I think they should let everything develope naturally
just they way it does in real life.

I think there are some characters that could be replace, like
Dumbledore. With his long hair and beard, you really don't get
that much of a sense of what he really looks like, so another
actor could set in.

But I'm pretty sure they would have an impossible time 
replacing  Daniel Radciffe, and a very difficult time
replacing Rupert or Emma.
