Sandy:
I think Dan and Rupert's acting was on an equal scale in the first two movies 
and that one did not outshine the other. I will agree, though, that they 
totally wasted Rupert in POA. He spent a great deal of his onscreen time 
whimpering and whining which was not at all attractive. He was great in GOF, and very 
funny at times.

I think Dan is a fantastic actor  -- I really do. I am so very impressed with 
him. I think he is superb both audioly and visually. I think he is great at 
facial expressions. As far as emotionally goes, I think his "who am I Hedwig" 
is beautifully done. I thought all of his emotional acting in POA was spot on. 
I have read a lot of criticism about his scene when he returns with Cedric's 
body in GOF on other lists, one person saying that he still can't cry. I have 
made a point of paying particular attention to that scene evry time I watch the 
movie and I don't find fault with it. His distress is very real, and perhaps 
crying was not the point of the scene. I think he did as well with that scene 
as any other. If you haven't guessed yet, I am as crazy about Daniel as some 
of you are about Rupert. I think Rupert is a fantastic actor too, and I think 
Emma was great in GOF. I think all three are good at what they do, and given 
the difference of their roles are pretty much equal. But I admit to being biased 
when it comes to Daniel and I think his star shines a little bit brighter.
