Thoughts on GROWING Actors.

[witchgrrl2004]

I agree! What difference will two or three years make? Rupert's 
already 13, and even if he does get taller and his voice gets deeper, 
how will that make a difference? Ron sounds like he is the kind of boy 
who would look a few years older then he really is in the first place, 
so whats the big deal? I hope to god they don't replace any of them, 
because it just wouldn't be the same.
