how I would like the series to end up, I do have to ask myself if by 
that time it would matter? I mean honestly, if the cast remains 
intact and follows it through to the final film - be that seven films 
or more - would anyone really see how great the difference is? Or 
would everyone just see Daniel as Harry or Emma as Hermione just like 
they have during the entire series?

they could be old enough to teach the classes not attend them but 
with the cast so young as it is, it would be plausible that the 
series of films could be completed with the actors still at the 
believeable age. But for that to happen, the films need to be shot in 
sequence NOW. If the gap between films keeps widening, the window of 
oppourtunity will be lost and the possibilities of having the cast 
intact for all the films are greatly diminished.

No offense to the kids playing Harry, Ron and Hermione, but I don't 
really see any acting futures for them.  Maybe for DR, maybe, but the 
other two just aren't talented enough to tackle other roles.
