My daughter is finishing 1st grade and won't be 7 until August 20th, 
but she is already 4'4" tall and very sturdily built. She seems to 
think a boy in 4th grade (age 9 or 10) has a crush on her :-( I told 
her that he probably thinks she is 8 or 9 and not 6 2/3. "Tell him 
how old you are," I said, "and he'll probably change his mind." (At 
least *I* hope so!) 

Personally I think most of the HP kids look about right for the age 
range they are playing. Though I do worry that Daniel might look like 
he's 18 or 19 by next fall! :-)
