Found while be-bopping through Wikipedia, traversing the bio of Shirley Henderson, whose most notable role is of "Moaning Myrtle" in the Harry Potter movies:

During the filming of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Henderson was the oldest actress (at age 37) to portray a Hogwarts student.

Heh. Not only was she playing "glasses ugly", she was playing "pigtail young".

Yah, they picked her because her features aren't likely to change much more with age.

And if they do change much they can youthen her with makeup.

I caught her on an episode of Doctor Who, actually. Episode was called Love and Monsters (Season 2, episode 10, if you're curious), and i was absolutely shocked that she appeared so much older.

She was about the only part of that particular episode I enjoyed. Her final fate was...disappointing. And I figured she'd be, at most, ten years out of her age range. But...damn.

As near as I can tell, 30 is the new 18. As a 32-year-old, I am enjoying the second crack at 20, only this time I might actually do it right.

Woohoo! *wiggle* Hey - at 32 I get mistaken for a high-schooler/college student from time to time... if I was really trying to make myself look like a student...

I would have to respectfully disagree about her most notable role: did you see how wide her hair was in Charles II, that miniseries, in which she played Catherine of Braganza (Portuguese, queen, wide-haired).
