Just Grint and Bare It
Roo!

Hey babe, I just saw Azkaban and let me tell you, I couldn't be prouder. You've certainly come a long way since your debut in Sorcerer's Stone where you only had a few good lines and couldn't even make a simple feather levitate.

I love the shaggy hair and the new clothes. It's just more proof that Hollywood did right to go with an English cast instead of Americanizing the whole thing. No one but a pale lanky English teenager could carry off those fuzzy sweaters and knit hats while running around foggy hills and snowy villages. And those striped pajamas? Brilliant! You're a true British lad. Scrumptious.

"The spiders... they want me to tap-dance!"
Nothing against Dan, because we all know he is Harry Potter, but Ron's comic relief totally made the film. Ok ok, I know, I'm a little biased being your biggest 27-year-old female Californian fan who writes for newmoanyeah.com and all, but I loved every moment you were on the screen. You have perfect teenaged boy posture, walking as though you're continuously stooping to get through a too-low door frame (another year or two and you'll grow into yourself, no worries), and the bewildered and frightened look you get over, well, everything, is priceless. I also think the growing tension between you and Emma is awesome. You know how Hermione grabs your hand, and then later she throws her arms around you for comfort? Well I may have swooned a bit. I can't wait for you two to get together. I'll happily volunteer to help you rehearse any scenes once that's the case. I'm no acting coach, but I'm sure I can teach you a thing or two. Purely for acting purposes. Obviously. It could be a new experience for me as well because I've never had a red head before aaaannnd in this instance when I say "had" I mean that I've never actually died my own hair red, it's always been brown, so I have a brown head and have always had one and have never in fact had a red head. Of my own. And it's nothing at all sexual. Just a simple matter of coloring, or in your case, colouring. Right-o.

"Do you want to get a little closer?"
Speaking of scenes, how awesome was that lion's growl you did when the Gryffindor boys were goofing off? I know it was sound effects but mmmm, that face. Grrr. Very sexy... er, playful. Yes, playful. As a boy your age should be. It's 16, right? Your age? Just two years shy of 18? You do seem a bit shy, but that's healthy. Confidence comes with maturity and better to be a bit unsure of yourself than to be overly cocky. And I can help pry you out of your pants that is to say your shell, shell of shyness, nothing to do with your clothes or that endearing fuzzy sweater, if you need me to.

"You're supposed to stroke it."
I know you have a huge future ahead of you, Roo, but it's always good to have a backup plan. Acting is an unreliable profession, so maybe you should consider other career paths that may interest you. May I suggest moving to San Francisco to attend university? I'll gladly take you under my wing, show you the city, mentor you and maybe make you my personal cabana boy. If you want. It's not like, written in stone or anything. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Do you know anything about cabanaing? Doesn't matter, I don't have a pool anyway.

Just remember to bring the fuzzy sweater.
