there has always been alot of debate about Daniel Radcliffe continuing to act as Harry Potter as his looks is getting too mature and looks alittle over age for the character. yea thats how i feel too..but if they find another character, will the harry potter feel still be there? what do you think?

nah, daniel will be alright. Warner Bros can make him younger with an airbursh after. in some of the harry potters, don't you see he looks way young then old, then young during the long time filming the movie :))

haha yeah hi fellow dan supporter =) haha i dont remember dan looking young in any of the scenes in harry potter so far.. i wont say he looks old, but i should say he looks mature.. hmmm..or actually because he looks too boyish years back..and alittle not too used to this grown up boy..

NO,nobody would be more suitable than Dan to be Harry Potter, How can you imagine another feature of Harry Potter after You have seen Dan's on screen for nearly ten years?Just imagine, Dan has impressed you all so strongly.you can understand if another totally different guy to be Harry,how extraodinary it will be. Just like Harry, Dan is growing up like every adolescent,like all of us.So how can he be too old to be Harry? Harry is gonna to be a man, and Dan is, too, Harry is "Harry", unless the director can find another boy which is going to be a man with the same complexion of Dan's, Dan will definitedly be the one who can be Harry all over the world. Dan's Harry is not only a role,but a real person in the magic world and in the fans' deep hearts.

yep thinking back, it is really almost ten years already..whoa.. it is true that it will be very weird and funny if the producers find another guy to replace dan as Harry.. yep indeed Harry is gonna be a man, be so how i still feel that dan looks alittle too mature for his age currently.. maybe the producers should let dan put on more make up to make him look younger..

I think that switching actors now would be a huge mistake. He has done a great job with character development so far and personally I don't think he's too old to play the part. I think that there's a contract that he's to play the character through the end of the series but that was something that I read online. So far he has really impressed me with his character growth and ability to pull off the Potter character convincingly.

no. i don't think he is. he was asked this question in an episode of Ellen de Generes and he also doesn't think that he is. it was an issue and thank goodness it's been resolved. he thanks his mom for the genes he has because it didn't make him look like his age, allowing him to keep the part in the movie. ^^

I do not think that Daniel looks too old to portray Harry Potter. Several overage actors have pulled off teen roles. Look at Ralph Macchio (Daniel LaRusso in the Karate Kid series) or Michael J. Fox. Both managed to play teens into their mid 20s. Even if Daniel began showing his age, it is appropriate to see Harry aging. How old would you look if a maniac had nearly killed you several times and you had all sorts of rogue magics worked on your body? I think I would look a bit worn down as well!

haha yeah, considering harry was being disturbed by those crazy guys, he would definitely age faster..i feel that dan is not too old to protray Harry but is just that sometimes i feel that compare to part 1, dan seems to have mature alot alot.

no way! Daniel Radcliffe isn't that much older than Harry Potter. I think a couple years isn't that big of a deal. Plus, dan is just harry potter. no one else could do it, he's had the part too long. another actor playing harry potter just wouldn't feel right at all.

i think the actual age of Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potte is quite similar..just that Daniel seems to be becoming more mature than his actual age is...he seems to lose his inital innocent looking boyish look to become a more mature man. yeah but i agree that if they find another guy, the feel will be totally different.
