Personally, I think that as long as Daniel is happy doing it, they will let
him continue, if that is what he really wants. The second it becomes less
than enjoyable to him, they would do well to encourage him to let it go.

Ah, gotta love Rupert and those slugs. I don't know what it is about
Rupert, but I just find him so likeable. He's such a, well, boy. He
doesn't even bother trying to hide it when he gets bored with something.
Which is a refreshing quality. For now. As for those slugs, well, I guess
that's the only thing that is "his." Everything else was shared with Harry.
Err, Daniel. And did anyone notice that Rupert was asked at least three
times just on Oprah (combined with After the Show) if he was really scared
of spiders? YES, for the thousandth time!

Which is all, for lack of a better word, *adorable*. I know, I use that
word a lot. I was torturing my best friend today (otherwise known as
allowing her the immense priviledge of looking at pictures of the London
premiere) during our P.E./library break. She very sweetly commented on all
the pictures, and I thought her comment on Daniel was appropriate. "He's a
star." He doesn't have to try to look posed, he doesn't come out making
silly faces, (not that anyone does, of course!) he just looks, well, like a
star.

Putting "spoiler" in the title or something would work. PLEASE don't
hestitate to post about the movie, I'm dying to hear all about it.
Everything. Every tiny detail.
