According to the article I just read, the boy who won the role of Harry
Potter is 11, although I've heard several people complain of the fact that
he's 13 and thus a bit too old. I wonder if the article had a misprint.

The article also stated that Emma, who will play Hermione, is 10, while
the boy slated to play Ron is 11.

Personally, I think that the group looks fabulous - my only thought
was that Harry needs to grow his hair out a bit more. Actually, how it
appearred from the Dicken's pictures seemed far more appropriate to Harry.

What is most important, in the long run, is the acting that the children
will do in the movie. If they can act and bring Ron, Hermione and Harry
to life then I don't really care what age they are - I only want them to
act well and for the movie to stay as true to the books as possible. So
many movies take great books and completely rework the plots, and the
Potter books have such complex and delightful plots I honestly don't
want one thing to be changed!

Aloha,
