Hmmm, I posted on this only this morning, but Yahoo!Mort ate it.  
Annoying.  

Draco382, I agree.  This morning you mentioned that you liked the 
scene where Harry kicks the desk (?) and shows such emotion.  I also 
like the one where Aunt Marge asks him if he is still here, and he 
says "yes" in that "I dare you" sort of tone.  I loved that DR is 
really sinking his teeth into Harry's persona.  I think all three of 
the trio could do well.  COULD.  Some of it, IMO, depends on the 
vehicle they jump on next, such as movie, theatre etc.  If they get 
a good part with good writing, I don't see why all three of them 
couldn't do well.  My biggest concern is Rupert Grint, because all 
he gets right now is the comic relief parts.  Don't get me wrong, he 
does wonderful at it, but I don't want him to be typecast either, as 
the loyal, funny sidekick.  It should be interesting to see what he 
does in GoF with Ron's jealousy/attitude toward Harry.  

On the other hand, as DR has put it before, if all three of them are 
known the rest of their lives as "harry potter kids", that's fine.  
DR said he could think of a lot worse things to be famous for!  It's 
great children's literature.  

Just my two knuts worth..
