Sorry, I've lost track of who I'm quoting (since I'm quoting a quote found in a subsequent e. . .).  Anyway. . .I always thought Moaning Myrtle looked old for her part, but then I figured, if they're going to make 7 movies, and it will take way more than 7 years to make them, they need someone whose appearance won't change much in that time.  So someone in their 20s would fill the bill better than a teenager, for both Myrtle and Tom Riddle's parts (as well as the other ghosts).  Understandable casting choice, IMO.  Too bad they couldn't write all the screenplays at once(as was done for LotR and the Matrix sequels) and do every Myrtle scene (for instance) within a certain time frame, then paste them into the movies as needed -- then they could've cast someone younger.  But I think she does a good job of "moaning," heehee.
