I agree, the studios are idiots if they don't have Dan/Harry play his
own father at Harry's age. Lose the scar and maybe add a different
nose and some colored contacts, and they are set.

Also, it would give Daniel a chance to display some range as an actor.
His father may look the same, but he has a very different personality,
and creating that 'other' character should provide an interesting
challenge for Dan.

As far as Harry's adult father, I don't think it made that much
difference when the appearance of his parents was so brief and
obscured in the earlier movies, but if there is a chance that Harry
will see his parent more clearly and at greater length, then I would
be a good idea to replace the current actors.

I have a theory that Harry will go behind the Veil in the Final Battle
and meet his parents there. In that scene since all characters are on
the same plane, I think his parents would appear solid and normal
rather than ghostly. 

The more it is discussed, the more I like the idea of Daniel's real
father playing his movie father, especially if Mr. Radcliffe (Sr) has
had some formal acting experience. I don't think the transition or
change in actors would be that glaring since his parents haven't had
any really significant role in the films so far. 

Just a few thoughts.
