Not sure if the spoiler space was necessary but thought I should do 
it in case..

"I also thought Daniel's performance was a bit bland at first BUT 
really, it's not.  I realised that the character Harry is, well, not 
bland, but quiet and unsure in this new world, and Daniel captured 
that perfectly."

I couldn't agree more.  I think Daniel has got the *character* 
pretty much spot on.  I've also read a newspaper critic's review 
which stated Daniel is the weak link of CoS.  I wonder if this 
critic has ever read the books - if he hasn't maybe he is trying to 
mould Harry (and therefore Daniel) into his own idea of how a hero 
should behave.  IMO, Daniel's performance stays faithful to the book.

I feel much the same way as Daniel really grew on me this time.  
I've no idea what will happen to the casting if they make any more 
films after PoA.  GoF is so long I'm not sure how they would go 
about filming it.  Book 5 isn't even published yet so I guess the 3 
young stars probably will outgrow the parts in the years ahead which 
is a shame.

By the way I thought Lucius Malfoy (sorry, the actor's name escapes 
me) was excellent - pure evil.
