It must be really hard to act half a dialogue without another person 
to interact with. I guess Daniel just hasn't learnt that skill 
thoroughly yet. I found all the scenes with him and Dobby 
unconvincing, so much I wish they'd used a heavily made up actor or 
a puppet, rather than a CG Dobby. It would have given Daniel 
something more to react to.
