So what she's two years older than the character? I'm 23, but people mistake me for a teenager.

Hey people, before you start critisising peoples acting and who gets the parts then you want to think that anyone who ques for an audition and anyone in that audition goes in knowing that they may not get the part, and no matter what happens its experience that themselves as actors n actresses have had. And they use that to better themselves at the next audition. you cant critisise someones acting because its no right or wrong way of doing it. it is someones own interpretation of that particular character, so stop being jealous because someone who had the right face and attitude for the part got the role. OK!

any one who auditioned and thought that this could be their 'big break'- you don't want this to be it.
The only children who can act in these films are Luna and Neville
Don't get me wrong, I love the books and do think that this part should be played by someone of the correct age - but I'd be better off without the films
hannah, New York,
Although I do feel sorry for the amatuers that didn't get the job. If none of them were right you have to employ someone who is. You can't let the part go to someone who can't do the job just becuase they queued for hours to audition.
JLP, Cambridge,
Other than the poor ickle girls who didn't get the part, who actually cares?
Don't get me wrong, I've been a Harry Potter fanatic since the first book came out but I think the films are diabolical and I couldn't care less who plays who..
Actually, I could- ANYONE but Emma Watson... the worst female 'child' actor since Dakota Fanning! Now THAT is saying something!
Lotte, West Mids,
she is really pretty and probably really talented, however i feel sorry for the amatuers that applied one of them should have been given the chance.
