in CoS, something was just kind of off...  I think he needs to find 
a way to express fear that doesn't involve pulling his mouth back so 
much - something in how he was doing that was noticeable enough that 
it actually got distracting at times.  However, for a kid his age, 
under the kind of pressure these movies must create, he's doing 
quite well, and I suspect as he gets older, he'll probably just get 
better.

Ron's my favorite character from the books (perhaps I can relate to 
his haplessness about "everything I (he) owns being rubbish" !). I 
was pleasantly surprised to see how well Rupert Grint carried him 
off in PS/SS. I did think that he was a *little* prone to overacting 
(a wee bit of ham) in Cos and I think that his turn in the "Captain 
Thunderpants" film that he did after PS may have been a bit 
responsible. I've heard it mentioned that none of these kids know 
how much they're being paid for the films (Emma mentioned this in an 
interview) and I really hope that they do remain down to earth for 
whatever is left of their childhood. Dan Radcliffe isn't your 
average kid, to state the obvious - his parents are heavily involved 
in the entertainment industry, he's an only child and he's been 
performing since a very young age (unlike the other two kids). In 
some respects, I suspect that he's more media-savvy and polished 
than the other two. My two cents (for what it's worth).
