29 HP Vincent Crabbe

Self-explanitory.
Why did the producers get someone who doesn't at all look like Jamie Waylett, the actor who played Crabbe in other 7 movies, to play Crabbe in DH2?

I mean, I know that the actual actor was in jail at the time because he got caught with marijuana, but why did they get someone who couldn't have even have looked a little bit like him to replace Jamie?
Despite the fact Louis Cordice is actually already protraying a student at Hogwarts (Anyone remember Blaise Zabini? Probably not if you're a muggleborn [only watched the movies]. His name was mentioned maybe once in the whole 8 movies), the producers try to pass him off as one of Malfoy's main sidekicks, leaving the audience going, 'Who the hell is that and why is Malfoy pulling him away with him?'

The new Crabbe is thin, whereas Crabbe, by definition, is not. Both Crabbe and Goyle are large, because they are greedy (as shown in CS).
Not to mention the fact that Blaise is black, whereas Crabbe was white. (No disrespect towards anyone of any colour, but you have to admit, that is a big difference. And before you start to yell at me, yes, I would have been fine with an dark person as Crabbe-if he had been that way from the start.)

And since no one really knew the difference between Crabbe and Goyle (Seriously, ask someone to pick who is who, and they will get it wrong half the time) why couldn't Crabbe die instead of Goyle? It would have made the recognisable character stay alive, and allowed the confusing one to leave the screen as soon as possible.

He could not have passed as Crabbe even in a passing glance. Why couldn't they have gotten someone who at least resembled Jamie to play Crabbe.
It would have caused a lot less confusion for the audience at least. Even people who didn't really follow who was who knew that Blaise was in Slytherin, literally just because of the green tie, but to pass him off as one of Malfoy's main sidekicks is just wrong.
