I have seen the movie three times now as well, and I also have 
enjoyed Daniel Radcliffe's performance more with each viewing.  His 
acting is much more subtle than Rupert or Emma's style--especially on 
the repeat viewings, I catch the other two over-acting a bit on 
occasion (Ron's exaggerated jaw dropping reaction on the train when 
he learns Harry's name for example, and Emma's clunky delivery of 
the "You're a great wizard, Harry" speech.) (I guess that I should 
say IMHO with that one so that I do not get attacked by the Rupert 
and Emma fan clubs.) I loved watching Daniel (as Harry) squirm under 
Snape's initial interrogation in Potions--quietly and beautifully 
acted, I thought. With that said, I think that all the kids were 
darling and did wonderful jobs, especially considering that they are 
only 11 or 12 year olds.  
I find that with repeat viewings of the movie that the movie actors 
are starting to replace my former mental images of the characters, 
especially when I am listening to the stories on tape. I am not sure 
if that is a good thing or a bad thing.  Elle
