Actually, during Harry's first year his voice changed.  And I say just because 
JKR didn't write it into the book doesn't mean it didn't happen, right?  :)  
Daniel's voice did change a bit early, not surprising with just a tad added 
stress.  I don't find it all that noticable.  Actually, I didn't notice it at 
all the first dozen times I watched the movie.  When you start to watch 
specific scenes and bounce around a bit it's much more noticable.  Really only 
in the second Fluffy scene (going after the stone) and after can I tell at all.

But he has such adorable expressions.  I find Rupert and Daniel such a good 
contrast, both have such cute facial expressions.  But Rupert's is generally 
with his mouth/nose and Daniel with his eyes/eyebrows.

Well he is a cutie, now isn't he?!?! Though my mom thinks he looks a bit 
retarded, so I guess it's a matter of taste.

Nah, I'm with you, actually--I think the movies should be more mellow 
about this (though the 30-year-old teenagers in '60s B-movies always 
make me laugh . . . couldn't they find anyone maybe 10 years closer 
to the right age?).  But the *moviemakers* have said that they want 
to keep these actors, and also that they want them to be close to 
their screen ages, and so they feel pressure to make a movie a year, 
or as close to it as you can get with a lots-of-FX, blockbuster 
movie.  I think they're going to have trouble, especially with the 
actors who started out a little older than their roles.
  
BTW, everyone has yet to explain to me why the voice change was a big 
deal.  Daniel Radcliffe's voice changed sometime during Harry's 
second year.  So?  Presumably, so did Harry's.  Why is it such a 
scandal that we hear it happening?

On Ron/Rupert:  I was a fan in the first movie; the trailer has me 
worried that he's been encouraged to focus on the comic "bits" 
instead of letting the comedy flow out of the character and 
dialogue.  Ron is a very funny character, and Rupert Grint has good 
comic timing; those two things are enough to guarantee that it will 
be funny.  He doesn't need to pull absurd faces.
