Well,  he never really was in the running, was he?  JKR insisted on an all 
Brit cast to the point where there was some grumbling about some girl who was 
born in Australia rather than Britain, from some article I read.  And I also 
read some quotes from Haley Joel that made me REALLY glad he didn't get the 
part -- he sounded downright rude about playing Harry, like it was beneath 
him.  Sounded like sour grapes to me!  And I, too, would rather watch our 
current stars into their twenties than have them replaced.  Sure hope the 
"powers that be" will listen to us!  Has anyone in the fandom figured out how 
to let the producers know our opinions on such things?
