can he convincingly do it or will they need to hire another older
actor? I think Dan can do it provided they dress him in a very
conservative slightly old fashioned three piece suite, maybe give him
a little padding so it looks like he's gained a few pounds around the
middle, and get some world class makeup artists. If Dan can pull this
off he will have done something unprecedented in cinema; what other
actor has portrayed the same character as a 10 year old boy and a 37
year old man?  I can't think of one.

Carol responds:

How about Alan Rickman playing a twenty-year-old Snape? I'm afraid
they'll have to use Alec Baldwin for that one.

BTW, regarding Harry's suit: Do you think it should be old-fashioned
because the film WW is about fifty years behind the times in terms of
Muggle dress (and technology)? (Gramophones and nonelectric toy trains
in PoA, as well? I'll bet Slughorn's gramophone in HBP is a reference
to Movie!Lupin's gramophone in PoA and the Victrola with the out-sized
speaker horn or whatever the thing is called.)

Carol, wishing they could even get Rickman to look 37 or 38
