Well, they say (Carol does, anyway, she even knows his name :-)) that this kid won some kind of essay competition where the winner is given a small part in the movie. I think it was really unfair to invent a new character for someone with a lot to say, when the established characters are not given enough material to play. Dean, for example, didn't have one single line to say in PoA, and he is a permanent book/movie character.

Of course it's not Dean. Dean is the one who is tall and good-looking :-). Here is his last picture (from HBP), standing together with Ginny and Luna on board Hogwarts Express:

Love Arnold on Ginny's shoulder :-).
