I agree completely.  However, I just read an article (sorry, I don't remember 
which one) that said the producers were worried they'd lose their "core 
audience" (little kids) if they had the actors being too old in their parts.  I've 
also read there are fears that the books getting darker will lose that "core 
audience."  HELLOOOOOOOO!!!!!  There's a HUGE "core audience" of adults, 
college students, teens -- and the kids reading it now will still want to see the 
movies!  AND they'll want to see Harry the age he's supposed to be, not a little 
kid.  I do not understand where these people's heads are, but those articles 
did give me a glimpse into the lamebrained thinking behind these rumors.  
Let's sick some Boggarts on some of these folks (they don't deserve Dementors, but 
certainly SOMETHING scary!!)  heehee
