[HPFGU-Movie] An extra's viewpoint

[LeeMunLim03 at aol.com]

Well not everyone is going to like Mister Potter!!  You can't be everyone's 
friend.  I think Dan was just scared!  You have to remember that actors are 
very tempermental and very insecure since their business calls for 
insecurity!!  Did you son like the set and is he under contract not to tell 
anyone about the filming??
