[HPFGU-Movie] Why not Radcliffe?

[AnitaKH]

eggplant107 <eggplant107 at hotmail.com> wondered:          I see they've cast someone named Robbie Jarvis to play the part of
young James. I just don't get it. It seems to me that the perfect
person to play that part is a fellow by the name of Daniel Radcliffe.
It's a no brainer, just ditch the glasses and the scar and he'd be
perfect. Has anyone read an explanation for this bewildering state of
affairs? 

akh speculates:
  That was my first reaction, too.  It's also a great opportunity for an actor, to come up with subtle differences that lead an audience to believe Dan is playing James.  
  The only thing I can come up with (and it's personal speculation only; I've heard nothing official about the reasoning) is that they could be shooting two scenes at once if they used another actor for James, since Harry's in virtually every other scene.  I don't remember when they shot the "prank" scene, so my other speculation that they could shoot that scene while Dan was off taking tests can't be backed by timing.
  akh, who would have loved to have seen what Dan did to make James a different character from Harry.  Ah, well...
