Daniel Radcliffe

I joined this list the day after I saw the movie opening night, and 
you guys just keep talking and talking... over 1000 messages have 
posted since opening night and it is near impossible for me to keep 
up.  Today was the first day I actually had time to sit down and read 
some posts.  Ideally, I'd love to go back to message #300 and start 
from the beginning, but I just don't have the time.

I have a bunch of stuff I want to post, but I don't want to bring up 
stuff that's been hashed and rehashed already (unless any of you is 
willing to revisit them).  I'll have to read some more and see what's 
been said of these things.  Hopefully my posts won't repeat 
anything.  Well... here's the first one anyway:

>>> On another note, I'm getting sick of reading newspaper and 
magazine reviews that keep saying how much better Rupert and Emma 
were compared to Dan. I mean, they were still very good, but I can't 
imagine either of them inducing smiles and (almost) tears from me the 
way my little man Dan did. He's a wonderful actor, and when I was 
reading GoF the other day, I could really really "see and hear" him 
(well, a slightly older version of him) as I read. I hope the movies 
end up going that far, and that they can keep the same kids. <<<

Personally, the first time I watched the movie, I wasn't at all 
impressed with Dan's performance.  I posted the following to another 
list after I had first seen the movie:

>>> Well, I wasn't too impressed with Dan Radcliff.  But perhaps 
that's because he didn't have much to work with.  I LOVED Ron 
though.  He was so adorable and had the best lines.  I though 
Hermione was good.  Although I missed this hilarious exchange at the 
end of the book when she figures out that the devil's snare likes the 
dark and Harry tells her to make a fire and she says, "But there 
isn't any wood."  Ron screams, "Are you a witch or aren't you!"  But 
more funny was after they got out and he says, "'There isn't any 
wood.' Honestly!"  Hahaha. <<<

But, after seeing the movie two more times, I revised my thoughts:

>>> I've now seen HP 3 times and I enjoy it more each time.  Also, I 
find that I like Daniel Radcliffe more each time, too.  He's really 
growing on me.  Of course, top slot still goes to Rupert Grint, but 
Dan's not doing too shabby.  He's got gorgeous eyes!  I've been 
picking up on a lot more of his expressions.  You know, Rupert's 
expressions are so animated, that I think almost ANYone else's would 
dim in comparison.  So, I think that's why I wasn't too thrilled with 
Dan's performance the first time around.  But, like I said, he's been 
looking better each time.  And I think we CAN expect great things 
from him (hee hee) in the future movies. <<<

So, yes, I'm like Dan's performance.

I just read this at the Leaky Cauldron:

>>> Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has won his first Hollywood 
award.  Radcliffe won the Male Youth Discovery of the Year Award from 
the Hollywood Women's Press Club. <<<

Hmm... I don't know that I'd give the award to Dan over Rupert, but 
you know, they both did very well.
