Wow, what wonderful thing for someone to say about you! Dan deserves 
every bit of it. He impressed me with how he inhabited Harry's 
person. He looked physically different when he was "Harry" and when 
he was at the premier and just being Dan. That has always impressed 
me with the best actors, that they disappear into character. I think 
people underestimated what it takes to play HP and thought it was 
not much of a stretch but you can see in interviews how much thought 
and energy Dan has put into finding out who Harry is from the inside 
out. I really can't wait to see what he does as he grows older. I 
can't wait for him to be known for other challenging roles. It's 
been great fun to watch his development and know that the faith that 
David Heyman and Chris Columbus had in him wasn't for naught.
