Daniel's Interpretation of Harry (was "The Movie")

[windyroselane]

Having seen Daniel in 'David Copperfield' I was especially impressed 
at how low-key he played Harry in comparison. In the BBC Interview he 
says Harry is slower to react than Ron and Hermione to everything 
because it is all new to him. Ron grew up in the wizard world and 
Hermione knows more than Ron.

I've been trying to think which scene in 'David Copperfield' caught 
Columbus' eye the most. The one that moved me most was when Bob 
Hoskins and family say goodbye when leaving London and David (Daniel) 
is lovingly saying goodbye to them while in the throes of being 
abandoned. I can't watch that scene without a box of kleenex at hand. 
Reminds me a lot of how he did the Mirror of Erised (desirE). Don't 
get me started.
