RE:Daniel
I am very impressed with Dan in this film as well. He inhabits 
Harry's character to the point that when I see him at public 
appearances and in photos, he's truly a different person. His body 
language, his face, it's as if he sheds the weight of the world and 
is a real kid again. He looks years younger to me! Many critics have 
commented that his acting has improved but I think he has always had 
talent and promise. Harry's a very difficult character in that 
he's "Everyman" and in COS, Chris Columbus wanted a super action 
hero and he delivered. Not much emphasis on his vulnerability. In 
POA, he did a fine job of exploring Harry's vulnerabilities when 
given the chance. There just seems to be a reticence to take these 
films where the books go without fear.
