I was a bit disappointed with that particular characterization of 
Draco too...I really can't seem him cowering the way he did when 
faced with the teeth-end of Hermione's wand.  Maybe on the inside, 
but not so blatently while in front of Harry, Ron, Goyle and 
Crabbe.  However...i must also say that practically ALL the people 
in the movie are VERY broad caricatures of their book-selves -- 
which is probably at the very heart of why so many listees have 
stated that they don't like the films.  

I really don't envy the production company for these films -- if 
they don't take the time to create a multi-faceted charater, they 
lose half of what makes these books so charming, and if they take 
too much time with character development, they lose half the 
audience!
