Keep in mind that the movies are not shot in chronological
order, and they take about a year to make. So, it's possible
that Goyle (Josh Herdman) might have been available for 
some scenes but not others. We also don't know how hard he
was struggling with his studies. He may have had to take 
extra time off for tutoring. 

On another subject, has anyone noticed that Hugh Mitchell
(Collin Creevey) is in the cast list for 'Order of the Phoenix'?
Though I think we will find that Collin/Hugh is not the 
cute little boy we remember. It's been about five years
and I think he has grown up considerably.

There are some short fan videos of Hugh and some other
Potter actors at the Supercon convention in Florida. They
can be found on YouTube.com . Search Youtube.com for 
'Supercon Potter'. 

For those who missed it, Hugh Mitchell was in the movie
'The Da Vini Code' with Tom Hanks. He played young Silas.

Though I never noticed it, Hugh was also in 'Nicholas
Nickleby' with Jamie Bell and Charlie Hunnam; he played 
Nicholas Nickleby as a boy.

Here is a link to some good quality photos of Hugh today -

So, I have to ask, do you think this 'all grown up' Colin 
is going to work for you in the final movie?

In my mind I pictured sweet young innocent small Colin 
meeting his end. Of course, Colin was age 11 in CoS, so it 
would seem that he would have been a 6th year in the final
book which would presumably make him age 15 (or maybe 16). 

For what it's worth.
