I couldn't agree more, Silvia.  Daniel is a perfect Harry and, if 
Christopher Columbus is to be believed, he's much better and more 
mature in CoS.  He seems to take a great deal of initiative in 
preparing for his performances.  He has reread Rowling's books and 
patterns his protrayals from the canon Harry.  With a young actor 
that special, who needs green eyes?
