Are the Harry Potter movie actors getting too old?

There were so many important topics that could have been discussed at my family's holiday dinner table this weekend. Topics of importance that range from the effects of the various disasters of 2005 (tsunami, Katrina), to federal incompetence and general Boobery (Bush administration), to criminal politicians (Frist, Rove, Delay, Bush, Cheney), to the war in Iraq.

Yes, all of these topics were available for debate and discussion. But what really seemed to be bothering everyone the most, and at both ends of the debate was the ever important question, "Are the actors playing Harry, Ron and Hermione getting too old in the Harry Potter movies and should they be replaced?"

Man. The debate raged. One brother feels they are too old and look it. I argued that the actors playing high school kids on "The OC", "Beverly Hills 90210" and "That 70s Show" are all my age. Another brother believes it will all be done by special effects anyway, and that anyone can be any age these days.

We know what is important.
