Daniel Radcliffe, Bonnie Wright and the rest of their 'Harry Potter' cohorts weren't always the chiseled, well-formed young adults they are in 'Harry Potter' and the Half-Blood Prince.' In fact, some of them were downright goofy when they were first cast in the 'Harry Potter' series way back in 2000.With the sixth installment of the franchise set to cast a spell on moviegoers, we look back at pics of the cute little 'Potter' stars from 2000, as well as photos of the young adults they've grown into today.
