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?
