First off, bboyminn:
 
 I'm going to have to agree. When the books make Harry  and James sound so much alike at that age, I can't imagine why they would  have anyone but Dan play the part.

I said a long time ago on here that I'd love to see Dan play  both parts - I'm sure he has it in him!  However, he seems unable to wear  contacts (which is why they don't show him with green eyes -- I suspect he has  some allergies, which would explain why they didn't dye his hair black either,  when they dye  Emma's and the twins' hair and bleach Tom's all the time).   

[being snippy again here]

Anyway, an actor has been cast to play James in the flashback  scene.  I don't remember his name, but it was listed on Leaky a  couple of  months ago when they listed who was playing the young Lily, young Snape,  etc.  So there's no point in worrying about how Dan would do - he won't get  the chance THIS time.  But whenever he does get such a chance, I'm sure  he'll do a wonderful job
  akh speculates:

It may not be as much a matter of talent as of time.  I heard that Dan wants to keep his school hours to study for his E levels (is that right, UK folks?), so he'd still have only about four hours per day to shoot.  Given that he's in virtually every scene, it might extend an already lengthy shoot to have him do a scene they could shoot concurrently with different actors.

akh, who also thought it would be quite fun to see Dan play James...
