I was bothered by
the scene the first time around, so I was looking fairly carefully the
second time; I saw what could be nose-running, but by itself, it didn't
"carry" it for me. His eyes didn't look teary (which they will, even if
you've just wiped the tears away).
Okay, I've read this here so many times, when I saw the movie the third time 
Monday night, I paid CLOSE ATTENTION to that scene.  I was looking for his 
nose running (poor kid, can you imagine someone LOOKING for that?? but since 
someone mentioned it, I looked for it), and in that scene, when he turns his head 
sharply up to look at Hermione while he's yelling, you can see his right cheek 
(his right, my left) was shiny wet with tears.  Not a stream or a droplet, 
nothing that subtle, but actually wet -- and how else did his nose start 
running?  He'd been crying hard in THAT take, whether he was in the others or not.  
Maybe it was the lighting, that the sheen of tears didn't show so well.  It 
certainly was the director's fault for not doing a closeup so everyone could see 
the result of Dan's hard work at crying.  What I'd like to know is, what 
happened to that cute picture of Harry looking at Hermione with that cute little 
grin on his face, from the same scene?  They're sitting there with little smirks 
on their faces, in profile, in exactly the same spot.  The pic is in the 
Lenticular Poster Book and I was looking forward to seeing what caused that smirk. 
 Maybe that was a "between shots" photo or something, just as the "Christmas 
in Hogsmeade" "Christmas card" type photo of the trio was nowhere in the film. 
 Just curious.
