I agree thanks for the photos. I had no idea the gentleman I saw in 
photos near Dan was his father - I thought it was a crew member for 
some reason. He does look similar but still unless they "youthened" him 
up then I still believe that they should have gotten someone who looks 
similar to Dan but looks to be 20ish would have been better. As for the 
comment about the mirror in PS/SS - I hadn't thought of it that way but 
I totally see your point about it being Harry's deepest wish so his 
parents could look like they would had they lived. My grip is that 
other than in the mirror why didn't they pick actors who were younger? 
They have recast other roles throughout the films - Fudge, Tom, the 
Patil twins, come to mind right away so why not these people? Oh and in 
my earlier post (#11971) I meant to say Dan doesn't look like Adrian 
not that he doesn't look like Alan. I had his dad's name on the brain 
and didn't catch it before it posted. 
Oh and I thought Dan had mentioned now that his GCSEs were completed he 
would have more time but the producers would most likely stick to a 
similar schedule for filming. So would he not have more time for 
filming and could play young James? Just curious. I would still love to 
see that. But alas, I am not the producers/director so I don't get to 
pick. sigh!
