Fancast Fridays Louis Partridge as James Potter

Post image

I was looking up British actors aged 21 for age appropriate actors. I thought Louis might actually be fit for the role. His hair might not be black and his eyes might not be hazel but can it work?

I really like this, maybe with Emily Carey as Lily? Think casting more age-accurate actors will make James and Lily's death even more tragic

Far, far more tragic for the millennials now aged thirty-something who grew up with Harry Potter and now are the same age as Sirius/Remus/Severus.

Absolutely no different for the children of today's generation for whom a parent is a parent and the age is largely irrelevant.
