+1!
Or Dina's Raith idea. That works, too.

See, I like his screen presence enough that I'd want him around more than Papa Raith or some one-shot character. Papa Raith was really only around for, what, his intro in BR, the climax of BR, and the climax of WN? And in the latter he has maybe one or two lines? Unless Papa Raith is going to make a comeback, I'd say the role was big enough.

In that picture, sure, as current Harry. But he's 42, 3 years older than current Harry, which would make casting him as a 25 year old Harry difficult. And he's only 5'10", so he'd need platform shoes to even come close to Harry's height.

The "age" problem is routinely solved by good makeup crews. Think about it. There are all kinds of people playing teenagers on TV and what not who are in their thirties.
Makeup and lighting solve a lifetime of ills on the silver screen. Would you really wanna see Cher without hers?
As for the height thing, Brian Jackson had to accommodate considerably worse height differences when he filmed the Lord of the Rings Movies than that you object to concerning this particular actor (whom I don't recall seeing in any movie, and I don't watch TV except in airport boarding gate lobbies). It's doable.
