*Quick disclaimer: this is all easily googleable information, just from a surface search
Alright, these folks must be trolling at this point. I wonder how many times this has been copy/pasted to everyone posting about the show.
Reminder for those willing to listen: Owen Cooper is 16 years old; he is a child. None of you have any right to be so vehement about this "opinion" that I'm nearly 100% sure isn't even real at this point, nor is there any even potential reason for bullying him like this.
And on the point of calling him "ugly" and "not suited for the role":
"A boy of about sixteen entered, taking off his pointed hat...He was much taller than Harry, but he, too, had jet-black hair." -Chamber of Secrets, p.243.
Not much more description is given, but frankly, this is sure as hell what I'd always imagined reading the books. Here now is a clip of him in Adolescence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYJKq17GpEc
That right there is quite the skilled actor, even being younger than we would be getting him now. I have no doubts that he could play Tom quite well.
One more point: He is not a confirmed role. It's looking quite likely, but, to my knowledge, there have been no official statements regarding his casting.
I will not respond further to asks like this, and you'll notice that I have not officially responded to this one. This is pathetic behavior and we would all do well to disengage from people like this. I believe it likely that the oh so humble anon is well aware of the information I've laid out here, and this is a bizarre attempt to badmouth the show and/or get it cancelled somehow.
