My response:
I'm in complete agreement about Dan being the clear
lead in the HP movies, but I suspect it's a strategic
move on WB's part. Often times, the studios will
submit an leading actor as a supporting actor,
particularly when the movie in question is a
reletively ensemble piece, when they consider the
competition for "lead actor" category too stiff.

I believe they did the same thing to Elijah Wood for
"LOTR:FOTR" last year. Fan were a bit put off by it as
well, if I remember correctly.

I'm at a COMPLETE loss to explain the Matthew
Lilliard/Scooby-Doo lead actor bid, however! 

-Jess :) (Happy New Year!)
