Having just seen Atonement, I can honestly say that James McAvoy is far too young looking to play the part. Certainly, make-up and/or prosthetics can be applied, but it seems to me that if The Hobbit production was to remain in keeping with the remainder of the LotR series, then an actor closer to Ian Holm's age and appearance (at the time of filming LotR) would be necessary.
