Hi:

<<<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.>>>

Actually Orianne -- you may be confusing the rumors with the final
casting decision. Gabriel Thompson was said to be the front-runner for
the role of Harry, and he is 13. But, that rumor proved to be false,
and I think Daniel Radcliffe is actually only 11. I'm *much* happier
with the choice of this Daniel kid than the Gabriel person -- he seemed
to full of himself somehow from the photos that were released.

I just love the Hermione they've chosen!

I agree that it's ultimately the acting potential that is most important
to the movies' success.
