Okay, that is just so wrong in so many ways.

They’re playing 17, actually. But it’s not bad considering that they didn’t churn out one movie every year, but it at least they didn’t make one movie every 2-3 years. That would’ve been ridiculous. At this pace, they were able to use the same actors, which would be preferable to replacing them and getting new interpretations on the role.

The movies have been extremely well done, but I’m in the camp of let’s get this over with already.

As the mother of teenagers, I’m seeing that the actors don’t look 17 ... not even close. There’s a lot of change in a young person’s face and body from 16 to 21, and the HP actors are off the far end of it. At this point, they’re too old - way too old - to look right, but nothing can be done in terms of the franchise.

Of course, it started several films ago, when Neville was suddenly so tall and Ron put on all that muscle. Maybe most viewers don’t notice, but I have kids through the whole range of ages, 11 to 17, at home, and it jumps out at me.
