I swear these Chinese gymnasts are four years old, man, srsly. LOLOL.
Heh, no kidding. Sorry, but there are body and facial changes that come with puberty, and most of them haven't gotten there. Even slow development of curves isn't going to change the facial progression! (I don't know if you get any of our commentary down there, but Bela Karolyi was on with Bob Costas, and just said, absolutely matter-of-fact, "Oh, yes, of course, half the Chinese team is underage, but you can't prove it, so oh, well." He's against the age restriction in the first place and respected the team, but he just basically said, "Duh. Who do they think they're kidding?") It would be petty for another team to complain, and the time for the IOC to do it is over. I wouldn't want a medal that we'd only have by disqualifying the best competition, anyway.
JKR never described Neville as blond in the books, and the quote seems to imply that she doesn't care that much, so if you want a brunette Neville, I think it would work.
