Amen to that! I have always had the sneaking suspicion that Rupert is 
potentially the best actor of the trio, but has not been given the 
room or the direction to show it. He was by far the best of the three 
in PS--completely natural, every line he delivered came from his 
character and the situation, whereas the Dan's and Emma's clearly had 
a few glitches. 

Alas,  Rupert was not allowed to show or develop his potential in CS, 
but, check out "Emma returns" scene, where we get a hint that there 
us some potential chemistry there and Ron abstains from hugging her--
Rupert did that so well, the combined delight and embarrassment. That 
little scene made me think this boy has the makings of a really good 
actor. Let's hope he has the good fortune of receiving some really 
good direction down the line.

I don't think we should worry too much about PoA yet. From what we've 
seen in the trailers, it appears Cuaron has coaxed Dan and Emma into 
really good performances. Ron has not really featured in the clips 
yet, but there's no reason to believe he's been left out. I'm 
confident Cuaron has helped him develop tenfold too.
