Actually it depends on the director.  I get work for beig able to pass as
older then my age so that they don't have to deal with 'older' actresses who
often make too many demands and will soon be out of work.  Course I do also
get jobs for being able to pass as young as 14.  It just depends on the
roles, the director and producer in charge, the people paying the money to
have the project made and what their looking for.

Rupert most likely got the role for looking the way that they thought Ron
looked.  That's the first basis for ANY part, looks.  Your judged the minute
you walk into the room and you can give a briliant performance but still be
kicked out before you open your mouth.

Though I do agree that more and more directors are selecting older actors
for young parts, it's because older actors have more time in front of the
camera then their counterparts.  Child actors can only work so many hours
while adults can work from sun up to sun up.  It's harder to film things
with child actors with their strict schedules and tutoring time.  But with
adults you can get things finished quicker and with less time spent waiting
around for the child to get out of the school trailer.
