If you look at Flourish and Blotts, and the Quiditch scenes, you see
you see at taller thinner Malfoy. But I think it is most noticable in
the Polyjuice/Slytherin Common Room scene where Tom/Draco has a much
more boyish face; rounder and less well defined. 

On another note:
When Tom/Draco was giving his speech in the Slysterin Common Room,
it's obvious he was deeply into using his 'stage' voice. His speech is
very clear and well enunciated. This also seems true in the book store
scene, but in the mudblood scene, he was clearly, or should I say
unclearly, using his normal voice. If you heard any of his interviews,
specifically the London CoS preimere and the most recent interview at
BBC (Newsround?), he is very hard to understand. His speech, the
sylybles are very hard and clipped. It really is hard to understand him.

I thought the Mudblood scene had so much more potential, and while I
realize they were pressed for time, just a few seconds more and
letting Ron keep most of his lines would have made what I saw as a
critical scene much more powerful. Same holds true of the Chamber/Tom
Riddle scene, a few more seconds and a slight shift in priorities
would have made it great.

I wonder if Hermione got all Ron's lines because without them, as the
story was filmed, she would have had almost nothing to say.
