I agree that Daniel's acting style is more subtle than that of most 
children his age, and I think that is what makes him so well suited 
to play Harry.
However, I strongly suspect that Toby Maguire's having played 
Spiderman, and having gotten to kiss Kirsten Dunst (which Dan 
mentioned he'd like to do) has a lot to do with 13 year old Dan's 
choice of his favorite actor ;--).
