I understand that sometimes characters need to replace for reason x or y. In Harry Potter usually it doesn’t bother me that much when it comes to obscure characters. I don’t know if many people count Tom Riddle Jr. as an obscure character but I’ll count him. Yes, he’s not that obscure but he doesn’t have many scenes in the book. Voldemort, on the other hand, does. I remember being kinda bummed out that Christian Coulson hadn’t reprised his role as Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. For me the issue wasn’t that, Coulson looked like what I imagined Tom to look like. The issue is that I like consistency. The film presented me with one imagine for Tom and from that moment on I thought “okay, this is Tom Riddle”. Of course, later on I came to realize that Coulson couldn’t reprise his role because he looked much older than the 16 year old Tom in HBP. As a side note, I have big love for Hero Fiennes-Tiffin who played 11 year old Tom in HBP. He looks so innocent but the way he speaks is just so chilling.
Also, I don’t know if many people remembered or noticed but in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Vincent Crabbe’s actions/role have been taken over by Goyle. And what Goyle did in the book was played by Blaise in the film. That’s because the actor who played Crabbe got arrested for cannabis possession and later tried and sentenced to community work.
