> Do you mean little Sev and little Lily (and maybe little Petunia) or only teenage Snape and Lily? I heard absolutely nothing about actors for these parts being cast, but they will be, right? They can't skip Snape's childhood memories altogether,I would be disappointed if they did. Mind you, I'm always disappointed :-), but if I won't get to see little Severus and Lily I will be *really* disappointed, LOL. I wonder if they will bring back the actors for teenage Snape and Lily from OotP, or cast new ones?

Carol:
I think that depends on whether they use the SWM they've already shot, complete with the cut scene with Lily, in which case they'll need the same actors. But if those actors have changed too much in the two or three(?) years since that scene was filmed, or if they decide to make it a bit more like the book version and reshoot it, they'll need new actors. The boy they used for Severus in that scene would be perfect for the twenty-year-old Snape coming to Dumbledore for help, but I'll bet they'll make him a mature adult, indistinguishable from his current self, and use Rickman for that part. After all, they had a thirty-something Lily and a forty-something James in SS/PS (I looked up their birthdates), and even film-goers should know from PoA and OoP that Severus and James are the same age.)

Carol, wishing that JKR had told the filmmakers that the Potters had died at 21 but realizing that it would have been odd to show eleven-year-old Harry seeing parents that age looking back at him from the Mirror of Erised
