Well, the 'Seven Potters' is a perfect example. 
Naturally Dan will be playing them all, but he will
have to play not Harry but Fred looking like Harry.
So that even though we physically see Harry, Fred
is still going to have to shine through.

This becomes even more difficult in the other 
Polyjuice scenes because other actors will have to
play their characters, but they will also have to
allow a subtle elements of Dan, Rupert, and Emma
to show through; a look, a gesture, the turn of
a phrase. If the underlying character doesn't show
through in some small way, it's going to be hard to
be convinced, it is Dan/Harry, or Rupert/Ron. 

And finally, imagine Harry's surprise in the 'Seven
Potters' scene when he looks over at Hermione and
sees himself wearing a bra. I wonder if the movie
makers will think of that little detail? 

Just a few thoughts.
