(Me):> So do I think Elijah Wood looks too young? 

Amy: I now definitely do.  But I'm actually more
concerned that he'll look 
too tall . . .


As ususal, I thought of something I should have
mentioned in that other post after I'd gone off-line.
It's OK if Frodo looks young. Due to the Ring's
influence, he retains a youthful appearance, and the
other hobbits find that strange. FotR, Chapter 2, "The
Shadow of the Past": "As time went on, people began to
notice that Frodo also showed signs of good
'preservation': outwardly he retained the appearance
of a robust and energetic hobbit just out of his
tweens."
Since hobbits come of age at 33 (and humans at
anywhere between 17 and 21, depending on the society)
a 20 year-old human actor won't be too youthful, IMO.

As for looking too tall, I have no idea. I think
they're doing some special effects to make the hobbits
and Gimli look shorter. It will be interesting to see
what they do with Merry and Pippin after they've had a
few Ent-draughts!

Anne (who wouldn't dream of revoking your membership
in LOON, since she suspects you've read HP as often as
she's read LotR)
