So Dan's  acting skill is generally a moot point for me. I'm thrilled
he got the  role, I love how he's embodied Harry Potter, and I am
extremely grateful he  will again do so in OotP and HBP. And I  await
those future  performances eagerly.

Exactly!  And what a GIFT the producers got in that young  man!  He is the 
most articulate and most entertaining interview of any  young person I've seen 
in years.  He is genuinely excited despite five  years of working on the same 
role, with the same cast and crew, and his  excitement translates into 
excellent interviews.  And, as David Heyman has  said, Dan's a "very responsible boy" 
so he does his own stunts even when they  terrify him (such as sliding down 
the roof) or make him ill (he had two ear  infections during the underwater 
tasks).  The kid is the best kind of  trooper and remains cheerful throughout.  I 
can't see Haley Joel or many  other child actors being as "gee whiz" as Dan 
still is, or as innocently  charming as he is.  Thank goodness he lives in 
England and hasn't been  "ruined" by the Hollywood "child actor mill" that ruins so 
many children's  lives.  Dan does embody Harry Potter, and he's a joy to 
interview.   What more could a producer want?  I hope he gets to do all seven 
films!
