Me:
Actually, I've been very confused by the fuss over Daniel R.'s age 
thus far in the movies. IIRC he was 11 years old while shooting 
PS/SS, and celebrated his 12th birthday in July 2001 (after shooting 
was completed on the first movie).  So far, so good.  Shooting on 
CoS began within days of the opening of movie #1.  Daniel is still 
12 years old during the entire shooting schedule of CoS, which 
concluded sometime in the spring/early summer, correct?  He 
celebrated his 13th birthday this past July and shooting for PoA 
begins sometime in the late winter/early spring of 2003 which 
indicates to me that he will *still* be 13 years old for the 
majority (if not all) of the shooting schedule for PoA, since he 
will turn 14 in late July of that year.

Please tell me whether or not I have the chronology correct here.
So far, it seems that Daniel R. has been exactly the same age as 
Harry in each of the first 3 films, and has grown at the same rate 
as an average boy his age.  Now it's possible that he may be 15 
instead of 14 for the GoF movie, since we don't yet know when that 
one will be shot, but there is not a huge amount of difference 
between 14 and 15 year old boys who are often in the same school 
year class.

So where is the problem?

wrong, but doesn't think so
