Me:
 I have heard nothing to that effect.  It would seem, however, if 
they were that concerned with the actors' height, Rupert Grint, who 
is fully six inches taller than Daniel would be their target.  Since 
all of the children are near or at the average heights for their 
ages, I can only speculate that since there are no scandals 
surrounding the trio, and they are kept, for the most part out of 
that wretched limelight, this entire age issue is a way of having 
something to say about them.  Frankly, the story is becoming a bit 
tired.  Daniel is not only a perfect Harry, but he is a wonderful 
role model and a spendid emissary for promoting the movies. 

The children mesh very well on screen and they have a very large fan 
following.  It would be quite daft of the studio to look for 
replacements, especially since they would have to find children that 
looked very similar to Dan, Rupert and Emma, had their on-screen 
chemistry and that were the height of the trio last time we saw them 
on screen.  If worse comes to worse, they can always digitally 
shorten them.  Although I signed the petition, just in case, it 
doesn't seem like a rational move to replace any of the kids unless, 
like Felton, they expressed a desire to leave.
