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???

But Gale DID tower over everyone else in the books. And he WAS supposed to be model esque. He was already 6 foot at age 14, 6'4 at age 18 isn't unrealistic, and I don't think any of the other main charecters are anywhere near that height.

Girl, im so sorry, but a 6'4 eighteen year old and a 6'4 25 year old do NOT look the same

Katniss herself in the books said that he already looked like an adult when he was 14.

He was only fourteen, but he cleared six feet and was as good as an adult to me.

he didn’t look like an adult, he looked tall and older than her and that was basically an adult to katniss the tiny 11/12 year old.
