ME:

Yeah.  We talk about that fact all the time.  Daniel (to me) does 
*not* look like a 12 year old, especially in certain scenes.  More 
like 16 or 17.  I do think that may be just the way Daniel is, 
though.  I've seen him in several interviews and giving a 
presentation somewhere (sorry, forgot where), and he was 
exceptional.  He was more put together than some adults I know!  
Look out when he *does* grow up ;)!  

I wonder how his mother handles all the attention Daniel gets.  I 
have 2 boys of my own and I honestly don't know how I'd react to it 
all.  

Harry in my mind now, though, is Daniel.  I cannot separate them in 
my mind's eye.  So no matter how "scrawny" dear Harry is described in 
the books, Daniel he is.  Oh well.
