Report: Actor To Play Harry Potter Is Picked

Thirteen-year-old Gabriel Thomson of London has won the much-sought-after
role of Harry Potter in the film version of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter
and the Sorcerer's Stone, the Aint It Cool News Web site reported
Thursday. Thomson appeared last year opposite Martin Landau in the
critically
trashed New Adventures of Pinocchio and in the role of Pip in a BBC
production of Great Expectations.

I don't know if this is 100% accurate (since the actor is a tad too old
for the role). I will be looking around the net for confirmation of this
report and looking for a photo of this young actor to see if he's really
"Harry Potter".
