Oh, look how he's grown! Daniel Radcliffe made every Harry Potter fan jealous when he won the part of the boy wizard in 2000 (left). Now (right), he's 19, a West End and Broadway star, and the world's highest-earning tween, but he still takes his washing round to his mum's.

哦，看看他現在的樣子!丹尼爾當初贏得這個角色的時候引得多少人嫉妒得要命啊!現在他已經是個19歲的大孩子了，是倫敦西區和百老匯的舞臺劇大明星，也是世界上賺錢最多的小孩，雖然他每周的臟衣服還是要交給媽媽來洗。

My, how she's grown! Emma Watson made her acting debut in the first Harry Potter film in 2001 (left)， playing the class swot Hermione Granger. In real life, her string of As and A* grades at GCSEs and A Levels has won her a place at the Ivy League Brown University.

哦，看看她的成長!艾瑪·沃特森當年肉嘟嘟地加盟了哈利波特系列電影的第一部，演了書蟲赫敏。在現實生活中呢，艾瑪也一樣好好學習天天向上的，以全A的成績為自己贏得了常青藤聯盟高校的學習機會。

And look how he's grown! Rupert Grint came up with a little rap about Potter sidekick Ron Weasley to clinch the part. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Ron gets the girl and the mead.

看看他的變化!魯伯特扮演的羅恩當初不過波特身邊跟進跟出的小嘍啰，但在《哈利波特與混血王子》中，他卻是獲得美人芳心的那一個哦。

He's really grown--Tom Felton was a chubby-cheeked imp as Harry's rival Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but in the new film, he's put on a growth spurt and even more angst than everybody else, and glowers at Potter (the 5' 5" Daniel Radcliffe) from his 6' 1" height.

他可真是長開了。當初在《哈利波特與魔法石》中湯姆扮演的德拉科·馬爾福還是一臉肉肉的小屁孩兒樣，在最新一部的電影中，他卻已經長成最激進的一憤青，而且一米八五的身高也讓他在僅一米六五的“哈利波特”丹尼爾面前占盡優勢。

My, how Dumbledore's...oh, never mind. When Richard Harris (left) died in 2002, the search was on for a new Hogwarts headmaster. Perhaps in honour of Harris, Michael Gambon (right) essays the part with a faint Irish accent, but with a tidier beard.

天哪，鄧布利多校長變化還真……呃，當我沒說。第一任扮演校長的理查德·哈里斯02年過世了，之后就由邁克爾·剛本扮演校長。也許是為了紀念哈里斯，邁克爾保留了些許的愛爾蘭口音，但白胡子卻顯得整潔多了。

Dame Maggie Smith may have come to the Harry Potter films with two Oscars (for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and California Suite) in hand and fistfuls of other awards and plaudits, but to millions of children around the world, she will forever be Professor Minerva McGonagall. Here she is looking suitably timeless in 2000 (left) and 2009 (right)， though someone has tidied up her hat.

擁有英國皇家女爵封號的麥姬·史密斯加盟《哈利波特》系列電影之時就已經有兩座奧斯卡小金人在握，更不要提其它一大堆的獎項。然而對于世界上成千上萬的孩子們來說，她就是永遠的麥格教授。不管在幾年前還是眼下，這張一絲不茍的表情經久不衰，雖然她的帽子尖兒沒那么歪了。
