Movies need to go faster....

[cattyhunts]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm annoyed with how much behind the movies are compared to the books. Now I know movies take time to make and all that...BUT it's the ages of the actors *mostly the kids* that is getting to me

I don't think you have to worry, they've confirmed that all three of the trio will stay on for the last films--and really, I think they'll do just fine. It's the under 16 that looks odd with the older kids, early twenties can do late teens pretty well, imo. Look at Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for example.

Dan has already been signed to do the rest of the movies, the other "child" actors are supposedly following suit, so no worries needed for them as of yet. They know that if they change actors they won't get as much money (somewhat like what happened with the Adams Family movies) because most people won't care to watch them and they'll go straight to DVD. So no worries...the directors and producers know a money farm when they see one.

I thought I heard that Emma Watson might not be on for all films as she received top marks and wants to go to university?

All three have signed for the movies.
And Tom will already turn 20 this year.
Rupert will turn 19.
Dan 18 and as you already knew Emma is 17. They're all way older than their characters. But as long as they don't go replacing them, everythings fine.

I really don't think that they're aging too quickly for the age of the books. There really isn't much difference in a 17-year old and a 19-year old, lookswise.
When you do theatre, there's often at least a 5 year age range you can play, generally younger. I think if they style the actors right and don't try to age them any, then it could still work.
