Faith:
I think there was talk of recasting in the future because the actors have a 
tendency to grow older faster than the characters in the books. While I'd 
hate to see this happen, can you picture 'the dream team' in their twenties, 
playing school kids?

Me:
Easily. It's done all the time in film and TV. Hell, the actor who played Tom Riddle's in his late twenties (26?). By the time the trio reaches their twenties, I doubt they'll be younger than 16 or so in movie-time, which isn't a big problem in the film world.
