LMAO!!!!!  Yeah, that was a very puke-worthy scene -- "smurfy" sums 
it up very well.  This just makes me believe even more strongly that 
the film makes really didn't "get" the essence of any of the 
characters well -- they just created very cartoony, exaggerated 
versions of each one.  

I absolutely agree -- as anyone who's seen Dan in David Copperfield 
can attest, the boy CAN cry and cry believably.  On a side note -- i 
had always believed that Harry never really cried in the books until 
book 4 -- but i was wrong, he does cry even in book 1 -- but its 
written very beautifully and SUBTLEY...shame we weren't given that 
in the movie...
