    Rupert Grint is a year older  or something like that?
     
    I know that Tom Felton (Malfoy) is just a month or two younger than me as well.  ;)
     
    No, no not Harry Potter obsessive.
     
    Just wondering though, am I the only one who doesn't find Daniel attractive? [8|]

    Candace - according to IMDb, Rupert Grint was born on August 24th, 1988.  That makes him roughly 18 1/2.  Perve away.  [:D]

    Malfoy's daddy is much hotter than any of the boys...esp in the long blode wig.

    Alan Rickman is on my "list".  [:D]
     
    OK, it occurs to me that I lust after most of the major male actors from HP.  Either those films are cast well, or there is just something really wrong with me.  [8|]

    I used to love Alan Rickman's voice, but I had a calc prof last year that looked EXACTLY like him only he spoke in a high, lisping, very effiminate voice.  It kind of killed it for me.
     
    I think what I did was I changed computers to the school ones.  I must've used an old password and signed up a while back but I can't remember activating that account.  O.o weird.  I'll have to figure out how to delete that.

    hey Laurelin....you should PM Jaime about it when you get the chance. Technically, it's against TOS to have two ID's...lol
    I won't turn you in...providing you give me that puppy..lmao...

    Thanks!  Got it sent.
     
    Sorry for the abrupt hijack.  You may all proceed to discussing Harry Potter and Alan Rickman again.  ;)

    Can't help it -- I've been hoping for all the books that Snape really wouldn't prove himself a total baddie -- I'm an Alan Rickman fan from WAY back and dang ... he almost always plays the bad guy ('cept did anyone ever see "Truly, Madly, Deeply"???  I'll never be able to listen to the Walker Brothers quite the same way again *sigh*).
     
    Even for a kid's movie it's well done and well cast.  But I've hoped for a long time that Daniel and Rupert wouldn't get totally typecast and never get beyond it.  Jack Wild got typecast a zillion years ago in HR Puff'n'Stuff and never was truly able to break out of it.  Sometimes extreme popularity is a difficult thing -- particularly at that age. 
     
    He's only got a few years TO break out of it -- there's this huge 'gap' between "young and hot" and "mature and attractive" that can truly kill a male's career.
     
    Equus is an incredibly prestigious play for him to win the lead in, and I honestly doubt highly it was given to him easily.  I don't doubt they'll use every trick to capitalize on it -- because the HP image could work against him as easily as for him (simply because it's been so commerically popular over here in the States is enough to set many "serious act-ORs" against him.  But I do think he's very talented -- and I think Rupert is as well -- they've both done a very good job of 'aging' their characters and inserting the typical angst of boys that particular age. 
     
    JK Rowling has a tough time coming up -- once the 'ending' is known in the last book, it could easily 'kill' the last 3 films ... which all get 'darker' anyway. 
     
    But then any good literary series has to develop to it's logical conclusion -- the 3rd book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy -- t'was VERY dark, and very very sad in places but has well stood the test of time. 
     
    AND took what 2-3 years to film and still only 1 of the leads has truly managed to break away and be successful in other things.  Sometimes being a commercial success can be quite the curse apparently.  We Yanks, in particular, love our 'heros'.
