older than when he shot the movie, and he looked younger.  I couldn't 
believe how much older he looked in PoA than in CoS.


Mandy here:
There was about 18 months between filming PoA and CoS and 18 months 
in the life of a young teen boy can bring huge changes.  I remember 
being away from my younger brother for 18 months when he was 14-16 
years old. When I left he was a 5'6" boy and when I came back he was 
a 6'2" man.  Very shocking.

I think he looks older in the movie because he Harry is much more 
serious than Dan.  Not to mention Harry lives with enormous trials 
and tribulations that the actor is not.  Dan, in real life, comes 
across as charming, sweet and very self-effacing. A true gentleman in 
the making.  But then Dan is sitting on the edge of adulthood and 
hasn't started to rebel yet.  Wait until drugs and sex join the rock 
and roll that's already in his life.  But for now he's standing on 
stable ground, at least stable ground for a child movie star.
