I imagine all the attention Daniel might get would tire and distract him, and 
he's the one carrying the entire burden of the film.  I'm not surprised the 
director would be protective of him.  If you look at his screen time versus 
Rupert's and Emma's and ANYone else's, he's got tons more dialog and direction to 
remember, if nothing else.  Acting requires a lot of energy, and I remember 
my brother and my children at Daniel's age -- they were exhausted from growth 
spurts, and their legs ached from it as well.  Maybe he's going through some of 
that.  And if he is, that's just another burden for him, since Harry's 
supposed to be at least smaller than Ron for all of the books so far.

Just some musings. . .I did enjoy the set report, thanks for sharing!
