Steph:

I know.  Given everything he's been through he seems remarkably
unjaded.  In terms of the movie, I thought both Rupert and Julie were
great in it, and had terrific chemistry.  I suppose some of that was
because Rupert likely felt comfortable with Julie.  

One thing's for sure, the movie showed that Rupert could do
Shakespeare if he wanted.  I've heard that he's looking to pick up a
film between HBP and DH, it'll be interesting to see what he chooses.
 I certainly think he's got a lot more range than what he's been
allowed to show in HP.
