I have been wanting to hear him talk about that movie for a long time ;)
As well as Maggie Smith and Zoe Wanamaker. There is an article I found a long 
time ago   about Bob Hoskins, who played McCawber and he had some lovely 
things to say about Dan. I noticed in the premier photos for London that Hoskins 
was there with his family. Guess they are Potter fans ;-)

And I agree about David Copperfield - it's a wonderful adaptation and even at 
4 hours, they left   things out ;-) I've read that book more than once and it 
is impossible to include everything - something that we all know about 
adapting books to   movies <g>
And I certainly agree that Dan was adorable in that movie and I too, wanted 
to reach into the screen and take him away from all those horrible, abusive 
people! My goodness, it was heartbreaking. He sure has experience playing an 
abused orphan, now doesn't he? ;-)
