 Jen here:
I completely agree with you there Steve! There is so much character 
development in JKR's writing and we get so little of it that we are 
forced to hang on every gesture or look or snippet of body language we 
can in order to make out what the kids are up to, how they have 
progressed in their abilities. I too thought Dan did some fantastic non-
verbal acting. That scene before the first task was agonizing! His face 
was such a mask of complete and paralyzing fear! Would I have loved to 
see more of him talking with Ron and Hermione, with Sirius, interacting 
with Rita Skeeter, Dumbledore, you name it! But you can not fault Dan 
one wit his abililty to communicate with his eyes and body language. I 
hope "December Boys" makes it over here. It would be a pleasure to see 
him get to act without the hounds of Hell (or Warner Bros.) at his 
heels. By the way, I think when Dumbledore/Gambon entered the chamber 
after Harry's name came out of the goblet, that Dan looks a bit 
defiant. But when Dumbledore/Gambon came at him full force, he seemed 
to cower. Did it look like that to you?
