I will agree that they are already starting to look too old and I don't think it will work well to replace the kids. Just can't happen. So they'll probably have to cut the series short. Hell, you gotta remember that they're still talking about making The Goblet of Fire into two movies. What's that going to do to the kids and their aging with relation to the roles?
I think they look fine, they're the same age as the characters, I don't want them to change the cast. Even if GoF gets cut in half (which is a terrible idea because there is no cliffhanger in the middle) they are still shooting it as one film so it won't be a problem. Strictly speaking I don't see any reason why film 4 has to be any longer then the others. When I finished the book I liked it, yet I don't recall it feeling like more happened then the others. The main plot points are the opening with voldermort, the big quiditch torunament which sets everything up, the tri wiizard torunament which has 3 events, the dance and the scenes leading up to it, and the resolution. That can easily be condensed into a 2.5 hour movie.
Book 5 on the other hand, I have no idea how they are going to adapt that with its 2000 subplots.
The real problem is that its likely the movies will soon catch up with the books and books 6 & 7 are going to end up being novelizations of their respective films
Aren't there rumours that JK Rowling isn't even going to finish the series?
On another note, what did everyone feel about the Ron/Hermione romance in book5 or lack there of? That was one fo the things I really liked in book 4, and was really excited about seeing expanded in book5 yet it was completely absent. Very strange.
