> I don't know why you would wish Daniel the stigma of loser, child-
actor who couldn't get any roles as an adult.  Personally, I hope he 
uses his and his daddy's cash for some acting lessons.  Seriously, 
when he's sitting on that big rock in the snow, fake-balling after 
he eavesdropped on MM and Fudge... it's laughable and lamentable.  
There are better child actors in the world.  Have you seen 'Mean 
Creek'?

whatever the new tech is) with Rupert as it's leading man.

SSSusan:
That scene *was* awful, and I've complained about it elsewhere.  

Still, I feel compelled to "stick up" for Dan.  He, of the three, 
has come the *farthest,* imo.  I think Rupert has more natural 
talent, but I think Dan has improved the most.  Part of that is that 
he had so far to move along(!), but I think he's worlds better than 
before.  I also think -- snigger if you like -- that there is an 
*intelligence* in Dan Radcliffe's countenance which comes through, 
and that's something which anyone who were to play Harry should have.

Expecting ridicule now :-)
