I've heard others complain that they feel Hermione was miscast, but I think the actress who plays her is so good that I've never felt that way. I also think the actors who play Ron and Draco Malfoy are terrific, as are most of the adult actors.
The casting I've never cottoned to is the boy who plays Harry. His performances strike me as rather wooden. He's also always seemed to me to be about 2-3 years too old for the part, and he's rapidly outgrowing it, given the slow pace at which the movies are being made. Do you think they'll have to recast the part at some point?
