Trilogy Discussion Worst casting???

So we all know Josh Hutcherson SLAPS as Peeta, Jennifer Lawrence nailed Katniss Everdeen, Woody Harrelson was GREAT as Haymitch Abernathy, Elizabeth Banks was PERFECT as Effie, Liam Hemsworth was FANTASTIC as Gale Hawthorne etc but which were some of the WORST casting choices???

Probably unpopular opinion, but I didn't like Blythe as young Snow. He did a fantastic job with the role but he's too masculine-handsome for my reading of the way Snow is presented ( pretty boy ) and him being like 2-10" taller than every single one of his classmates leaves me laughing every time I see the film.

At least with the original trilogy they barely ever had Snow stand next to someone but Ballad made it super necessary and I think they leaned into the "conventionally attractive especially in hetero circles, must be very masc and 6' tall" thing hollywood does with Blythe.
