Maybe James doesn't look EXACTLY like Harry but it's pretty darn
close. Give Dan some contacts to change his eye color, get rid of the
glasses and the scar and you've got James. I'm still not certain this
won't happen, the IMDB still doesn't list an actor for a young James
and that's a good sign.

I don't see why, unless Dan just wasn't up for it. Perhaps he's been
playing Harry for so long he just couldn't handle a character with a
very different personality.

he's fine.

Yes I agree and that is encouraging, but in the confrontation scene in
Dumbledore's office Dan's got to go much further and pull out all the
stops; Dan's got to make Harry become downright scary! I want people
who haven't read the book to think, at least for an instant, that
Harry is about to knock Dumbledore's block off and embrace the dark
side. I believe that scene is the single most important one in the
entire book and I hope the movie people treat it with respect.
