Potter for Bond??

I would imagine the studio would do whatever the kids want.

But as for Dan as Bond?  My answer would be no one for Bond!  The last thing we need is another James Bond film for ITV to put on a continual repeat loop.  They should have learnt that young anything doesn't work.  Now I liked young Sherlock, young Hercules and even young Indiana but I am in a minority.

So please no young Bond, OAP Bond, Bond the embryo or even child of Bond (you can just see that coming!)

He could be Basildon Bond I suppose ....

There's nothing to stop him from taking an A-level at a time ... though that would be torture for him do them like that. I'm also not too sure about how much he will be allowed to be in filming once he's 16 - I would suspect it would be more given that his formal education could finish at the age he is now.
It would be fantastic if he was willing and able to complete his role of filming all the books, with Rupert and Emma alongside him for the ride of course - but if he decides that his education HAS to come first no matter what then that's that!
I'm hoping that more will come out about this when the GoF film is released and he gets interviewed during the inevitable promotional tour - let's hope someone thinks to ask him that's all.

Well we know for sure he's doing Order of the Phoenix so then there is only HBP and ? to go after that, would it really be worth missing the last two of the whole series. After all the acting game is a fickle master, it would be unwise to turn down to definate film roles. As you say now he's 16 he will be able to work longer, so then hopefully filming can be done quicker.

Well that's partly true on him being able to be on the film set for longer each day, but that can't be siaid to be true for Emma though as she's younger!
I'm sure the studio/director et al  know what they're doing because of the strict legal requirements they have to meet.
I know you say that his filming can be completed quicker because he can film for longer, but just bear in mind how much of the plots of the later books is given over solely to him and the complexity of some of the stunts he'll no doubt be asked to (or will offer to do) for the film, then I very much doubt it will get done any faster than it is now.

It does depend of course what they do with the plots both order nad HBp are rather big so there is going to be some mega cuts. We'll just have to see, but if Mr Radcliffe should come across this, we are behind you what ever dear

Oh my ... what a thought ....

I think he would be running away and hiding anyway

Just found this on Godrics Hollow

 IFP Shoots down Radcliffe as a Young Bond 
  Yes, yes, all the fangirls squealed in delight when they heard that Dan was considered as the next young bond. However, Ian Fleming Publications Ltd (IFPL) has issued a statement via their official website, quashing down these rumors.

Counter-intelligence

Miss Moneypenny has detected a number of unsubstantiated rumours originating from unofficial intelligence sources regarding IFPL projects so she's taking this opportunity to clarify a few matters for all our agents:

Young Bond film: without meaning to disparage Mr Radcliffe or Mr Bell, IFPL is not currently discussing the film rights in its Young Bond property with anybody. Official news on major Young Bond developments will be announced here or through our sister website www.youngbond.com

Alas, another one of those juicy rumors saw its last day…
