Puberty: The Best and Worst


Which of the kids has puberty been kindest to and which the worst? My votes:
The Best: Millie Bobby Brown--physically appealing even while wearing some embarrassingly bad hairstyles.
The Worst: Finn Wolfhard. Losing cute points fast the further he slips into puberty.
Most Improved: Gaten Matarazzo as The Kid With the Lisp. The ladies love him.

We won't know the answer to that for a while.

Who knew Neville Longbottom would end up better looking than Harry Potter or Ron Weasley?

They all seem to be managing as teen icons. I would say no season will have it tougher with the kids growing up than season 2 did though.

Puberty hit Finn fast. By the next season, he's going to look much, much older. He already looks older and is taller than the rest of the cast at this point, and his voice seems to be changing faster too. I'm afraid he will look older than Millie Bobby Brown..as girls age less noticeably and she still has an innocent baby face.

He's shaping up to be a handsome young man, it'll be hard to buy him as a nerd in the next seasons lol

I actually think they got pretty lucky with the growth of Millie and Finn happening at pretty much the same time. If you look at them in the promotional work for season 2's release, at this point they're both old enough looking that it shouldn't ever be an issue for their on-screen romance.

May not be the case next season..he's growing like a weed, lol

He may very well end up towering over her, but a height imbalance doesn't throw off romantic credibility the way it would be if one of them looked like a teenager and the other like a little kid. Millie and Finn both look like teenagers now already, so I don't foresee this being a problem from here on out.

By contrast, Caleb in season 1 was about the same age as Millie will be in season 3. A discrepancy like that would have made them a much more tenuous match.
