Benedict Clarke was all right, but I cannot buy his nose at all. He doesn't look like the urchin I see in my head in the Prince's Tale, IOW. But I suppose I could believe that he would grow up into Alec Hopkins who in turn would maybe grow up into Alan Rickman, in a sense. They were pretty good at getting that consistent, at least, with the young characters - the teenage Marauders are an atrocity (IMO) but I can totally believe boys who looked like that would grow up to look like the adults we see portrayed by Thewlis, Oldman, Spall and I-can-never-remember-the-name-of-the-bloke-who-plays-James-who-cares-anyway.
Whoops, I meant Alec Hopkins is "such a cute boy".;) I was hoping they'd somehow get more of TPT in their and that they would have used footage shot earlier with Alec. It was a waste of an actor who really did look like the character unlike Rickman and Clarke.
Alas, it was only baby Severus in DH2 and sure cute little kid and all, but didn't read as the character to me. He looked like he belonged in a Gap Kids catalog.
