But they didn't take away everything *but* the comedy from
"Han Solo". He still had his brave side, and Leia wasn't
turned into the best of them all, who dragged her friends
around with her and was the only one who had a clue. ;)

Rupert did very well in the first movie, with varied
reactions and emotions. Maybe a little too well, since he
was somewhat overshadowing the hero of the films.

I thought it enlightening how much Ron was changed when he
came back in the second movie, and now in the third, and I
don't believe it's acting ability that made them cut down
Rupert so much.

In Cos, they still left him a few serious glimpses, but even
that vanished almost completely in PoA.

He is good with anything they have given him, but if he is
given nothing but one liners here and there...

And Rupert seems quiet and not the kind of guy who complains
and asks for more.
He seems happy with whatever he is given, and may not
realize how much is missing until he sees the end product, since
several scenes he is in were cut from the movie.

I'm not sure either of the three even worry about future
movies apart from HP, at this point.

They are young, and making great money, and could probably
lead comfortable lives without ever doing another film, if
they and their parents use the money wisely.

Many actors have stepped away from project foe fear of being
type cast, and found out it was a bad move, later.

Apart from silly teenage movies, there isn't really that
much out there for teenage actors, so maybe sticking with
HP would not be a bad thing for all three.

We'll just have to wait and see how they develop, and if
their acting abilities and interest grow with them into adulthood.
