Daniel gets better with each viewing

After my third viewing (yesterday) of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's 
Stone, I am definitely inclined to agree with the observations made 
by quite a number of people here that Daniel Radcliffe gets better 
with each viewing!  The first time I watched the movie, my opinion on 
Dan was rather mixed.  He came off a bit wooden at times but he 
acquitted himself in certain wonderfully acted scenes (The Mirror of 
Erised in particular).  Now Dan's acting comes off as excellently 
measured--just perfect for what Harry went through and is now 
experiencing.  He shows just the right amount of emotion at the right 
moment.  Subdued at the Dursleys.  Adorably wide-eyed at Ollivander's-
- I like his facial expressions here when he tries out (with not much 
success) his first couple of wands.  Awed and happy in the staring-
out-the-window-with-Hedwig scene.  Perfectly boyish and delighted in 
the Remembrall Scene.  And of course that Mirror of Erised scene!  

I just hope that Dan has more upbeat scenes in Chamber of Secrets 
becasue I really enjoy seeing him smiling and beaming just as much as 
I enjoy him being emotional...
