Frodo is 33 (hmm, never picked up on the Jesus connection before).  
Hobbits don't live much longer than humans--Bilbo is unusual in 
reaching "eleventy-one," 111--so even if they look childlike, Elijah 
Wood seems pretty young.

Now, I think Alan Rickman is perfect, but I mean PERFECT, for Snape, 
and he's 20+ years too old, so I am far from consistent on this issue. 
 If the kid can act, and I haven't seen him in anything since he was 
about 10 so I don't know, then great and I won't complain.  Heck, I'm 
bordering on ecstatic about Daniel Radcliffe and he doesn't look a 
thing like Harry.

very happy about Ian Holm, who definitely isn't 111
