Very well put Jen!  I got quite a shock at the bathroom scene - I 
have seen GOF four times now, and every single time that scene hits 
the screen, there are murmurs in the audience. You are just not 
prepared for it. 

It's kind of a shock to realize these kids have grown up!  They hit 
puberty!  When I look back on the pictures when Dan, Rupert, and 
Emma first got their roles - they were so small and cute! What 
happened!?! LOL!

I would not be surprised if Dan did a little bit of weight lifting 
for the much talked about bathroom scene.  Actors do that all the 
time when they have to be naked (or semi-naked) in a movie.  

And yes, Dan and Harry are two VERY different people. I love Dan to 
death, but I think Harry is much cuter!
