He would have made a great Harry Potter


If the movies had been made 7 years later than they were. Especially now seeing how he's grown over the years. I can't help but think of Harry.

Plus he's British.
You're right.
He is even the height that Harry is supposed to be in the last book. Poor Daniel Radcliffe stopped growing after the 4th movie.

Yes!

I cannot help but notice that neither Daniel/Asa have the proper eye color haha, but I still think Daniel Radcliffe stays a better choice for Harry. Physically, I think Asa would make a decent Harry, but he also looks like he could play a Slytherin character. He doesn't really have the doe-eyed innocence Daniel had when he was younger, physically Daniel looked so pure and naive and is exactly what I imagine Harry looking like. I can imagine Asa playing Tom Riddle whether it be young Tom Riddle or teenage Tom Riddle because he has both that helpless Orphan boy yet mischievous, sophisticated and ambitious look. Asa's appearance is more versatile in that aspect. As for acting, I also think Daniel was pretty good for the part so yeah I cannot really imagine anyone else playing Harry.
