Now with speculation that the new book won't be out until 2003, I'm worried about them replacing the actors. Who
knows though - if they work on GOF in 2004 and have a script ready for 2005, then they could still use the same
folks. Also - once the kids get to be about 15/16 they'll be able to play young ages until their mid twenties (and
sometimes even into their late 20s).

I think they will continue with the same actors - unless the actors don't want to work on the movies anymore.
