Yes, I very much liked Dan's body language in the scene marching into
the ball and while dancing with Parvati. Plus, I think in his long
walk to the antechamber after his name came out of the Goblet also
very accurately reflected in body language what Harry experienced in
narrative in the books. 

His stiff awkward clumsy overly-selfconscious movement spoke volumes. 

Whether, you particularly like Dan as an actor in this movie or not,
you have to admit he has improved greatly, and certainly shows the
potential to be a great actor. 

One of the problems I have with the /short/ versions of the movies is
that so many great kid actors don't really get a chance to shine.
Seamus/Devon probably has great potential as an actor, but we really
don't get a chance to see it. In interviews he comes off as
acceptionally intelligent and sophisticated. Certainly Draco/Tom is a
very experienced actor who has made both major and minor motion
pictures and has many moving TV appearances under his belt (I would
love to see his role in 'Second Sight'). Neville/Mathew I think did a
splended job in the latest film. As a Neville fan, I like the fact
that they gave him a stronger role, and liked that he was more than up
to the task. Unfortunately, do to fake teeth and ears to make him more
Neville-like, we don't get to see that Mathew, while probably not
leading man material, is much better looking than movie-Neville.

Back to the main point, I was very impressed with Dan's ability to
express himself with his body and thought most of his body language
was dead-on.

I am anxious to see both Dan in 'December Boys' and Rupert in 'Driving
Lesson', though I have my doubt as to whether they will show up on
this side of the pond. For the record, I think Rupert did an excellent
job in 'Thunder Pants' of creating an engaging and very non-Ron
character. The movie itself was somewhat lacking, but his portrayal of
his character was excellent. Sadly, I confess that I didn't see the
moive, only the trailers which are no longer available on-line, but I
saw enough to see a completely new and very believable fun and funny
character (in the context of an otherwise absurd movie plot).

Just a thought.
