kchuplis:
Besides, "Hark, who's talking" is kind of faceatious. It's not like he is
seriously using the term "Hark" (as though suddenly slipping into
Shakespeare). The manner in which it is used didn't seem odd to me at all.
And, yes, you are right about the actors themselves. They are extremely
articulate (well, Rupert is when he isn't being all shy and self effacing.
He doesn't seem to like the limelight much) and certainly Dan and Emma come
off as very intelligent and erudite for their age. Harry, well, he's spent a
LOT of time around Hermione. That kind of thing does rub off and there is a
lot of "off page" time spent in the library and such with her as well.
