I think 'age of majority' is 18, but with regard to child labor laws,
while I'm not sure they are removed, I think they are eased a bit for
people /over/ 16. Dan made a brief comment about being able to work
longer hours and not needing tutoring, but that he was going to try
and keep his hours restricted. In another interview, I read that they
are going to make the next two movies as quickly as possible,
virtually simultaniously. I suspect that is partly to prevent the
actors from out growing the parts. While that doesn't confirm it, it
does seem to suggest that all the actors will be able to work longer.

Just a thought.
