The character ages from the Harry Potter books vs the actor age who plays them can be seen in the graph above.
The three main characters, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, were cast fine. All are very close to their book counter part. However, the same can not be said for the characters who were suppose to be James Potters peers. Sirius, Snape, Lupin, and Pettigrew were all to old for their character.
The most egregious of the group was the casting of Alan Rickman. Rickman is a great actor and did an amazing job portraying Snape. However he was about 54 at the start of filming when he was suppose to be playing a 31 year old.
