Movie casting problems

Echo:"In each of the 4 current books, it states at least once that 
Harry is short and skinny for his age. It also points out clearly that 
Ron is a bit taller, gangly with long limbs. I too am displeased with 
the movie version of Draco. In the one still I've seen of him, he just 
doesn't look evil enough. He looks like a baby doll in my opinion."

The look of the characters matters, but their personalities and acting 
abilities have to take precedence. I'd rather have a better actor than 
the closest possible resemblance.  It points up how difficult casting 
is when we all have such strong opinions of how the characters look.

Echo:" Also another thing that bothered me, is that I heard somewhere 
that in the movie, Harry's "lightning" scar is supposedly at his 
temple, and not his forehead. If true, that just irks me."

Me too. I hope it isn't so, otherwise it's just another example of 
Hollyweird stupidity.  What's the matter, his bangs hid it too much?

I only saw Draco in the trailer, and he looked OK to me. I'd guess it 
would be difficult to find someone who looked closer.
