I think that the talk of the cast changing is being built upon the fact that the contracts run out after film 3 and that the press need something to talk about. I know that it looks like time might be running out with the 5th book not even out yet but in the 6th and 7th books the pupils will be 16-18 and it is not like we haven't had actors in their twenties or even thirties in some cases playing older teenagers. I'm not sure about the idea, I mean do you want to see someone else playing Frodo or Aragorn in The Return of the King? The new director hasn't even been picked yet, as far as I know, and I am sure they will have a lot of input but surely the only way to go is to stick with the actors in place.
Oh and I totally agree the film is great.
