picture I saw.

Whoa, wait, where did you hear that?  Is that the reason those people 
replaying stills over and over again haven't spotted it yet?  But why 
would they change it in any case- Harry's scar on his forehead has 
become so well know.

I wasn't too pleased with the Ron-choice at first, but the seconds of 
trailer footage have convinced me.  He's just so cute there.  And the 
expression on his face is so *Ron*.  I would have been more upset if 
they had gotton a tall enough actor, but gotton that wrong.
