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...
