Jason:
   I really don't see a problem with the kids being older in book 6 
and 7. If they film 4 as they are doing, the kids are 14-15. If they 
go straight to 5 they'll be 15-16. Book 6 should be out by Next 
Summer hopefully, but lets say Summer '06. They should be about 17 
when they start filming, right? 17 playing 16. Now say we have to 
wait 3 years for book 7 after book 6. That puts us Somewhere in 2009 
(OMG!! THATS SOOO FAR!!!). They'll be 19 or 20 when they start. Not 
a huge stretch to play a 17 year old. Especially when you consider 
James Van Der Beek was practically drawing Social Security and 
playing a Teen in Dawsons Creek! lol. Actually i think he was early 
20's. I know I'm 23 and could pass for 18 with a close shave. :-) I 
say bring on Dan, Rupert and Emma until someone gets married, has a 
kid, or turns 30!

Jason, who apologizes if that math is wrong.. but its close enough 
to get the point across.... i think? I dont know their birthdays
