Me:
And Daniel has more "heavy-duty" stuff to concentrate on, acting-
wise, than Rupert.  PoA is so much more character-driven than SS/PS 
or CoS, and the whole thing revolves around Harry, of course.  It 
must be a lot of pressure for Daniel.  Yes, he is making a lot of 
money and landed a very sought-after film role, but everything and 
everybody relies on him and his performance.

Plus, at home, Daniel is an only child.  I'm no psychologist, but I 
think only-children are generally categorized as being more 
introspective and less outgoing.

And Daniel is "the star."  The kids who are extras might be more 
likely to watch him from afar and be afraid to approach him.  He may 
respond to this by being aloof.

Anybody else care to pick apart poor Dan's personality?  LOL.
