the opinion I've had since I first saw Daniel in PS/SS -- what some
reviewers decry as "wooden" or "unanimated", others recognize
as "depth", "stillness", "maturity" etc.

Hi Anne :) I'm new to this group as well. Thanks for the link...
Mind you, I'm a fan of Radcliffe myself, but after reading the book I
don't know if the character Harry Potter was meant to be so deep or
mature. I'm one of those people who watched the movie first, got
drawn in, started reading the books and... well... noticed a
significant difference in the movie version of Harry. So I can
understand why some reviewers can perceive Daniel's portrayal of the
character as being unanimated.
But that would be the fault of the director wouldn't it? Whether it
was in (sorry to say & hopefully not) casting the wrong actor or
misdirecting them in the scene, the movie Harry isn't faithful the
the character in the book (who's a bit angrier, talks and fights
back, etc). And that *was* one of Columbus' main concerns, wasn't it?
Maintaining faithfulness to the book?
It would be very interesting to see Alfonso Cuaron's version. I'd
like to see how he can realistically transform the still and mature
version of Columbus' Harry into the raging-angry-orphaned-teen Harry
confronting Sirius in the Shrieking Shack.
