I agree that Harry/Daniel gets better with each viewing. We
need to remember Harry's history. He has live a life that
hasn't validated him in anyway, or supported ANY expression
of his thoughts or emotions. He is very repressed. So you 
would not expect big display of emotion either through
speach, facial expressions, or body langauge. He's been 
force to keep all that inside. I also think that explain 
a lot of the decisions that Harry makes. When I read the 
books, I often find myself thinking,'well, why didn't he 
do this instead, that would have solved everything'. But 
then I'm not thinking with the mind of a 12 year old who 
has lived in isolation, without validation, and without 
any indication that he can turn to other people in times 
of need.

Now Ron/Rupert has grown up just the opposite, he's in a
big family that allows people to express themselves, and
represents a resource that he knows he can turn to any 
time he really needs help. Also, Rupert has a very 
expressive face. Many times his facial expression is what
set the mood and emotion of a whole seen.
