I don't think it would be nearly as good if they got someone other than Daniel to play Harry. I'm not sure all the Harry Potter fans out there would be okay if they changed the actor. I think Daniel is talented enough to pull it off. Even though he's alot older, it wouldn't be the first time someone older played a teen and pulled it off.

Time does fly fast... and before we know it, the 12-year-old Daniel Radcliffe who portrayed the first year Harry Potter is finally seventeen!
I've admired the way he portrayed the leading character of the series; it's as if he's Harry himself! But really, we can't stop kids, especially celebrities like them, from maturing. Besides, their career somehow makes them older than they look, simply because they're exposed to work, or are doing tasks which are of greater burden compared to ordinary teenagers.
There were also many time lags or some circumstances as to why Dan reached the age of 16 or 17 before finishing the fifth movie, so we can't really blame him from looking older than he looks. Besides, it doesn't matter if he's older than the indicated age in the book as long as he's portraying the character according to his (Harry's) age.
He's a great actor; just a little more practice and he might be able to really get into action - the emotions be vividly exuded.
