 This scene was one of the few in POA that was actualy shot

Demetra:
I was paying close attention to this scene because I had read 
someone's review where they mentioned how unbelievable Dan's acting 
was here.  I didn't notice the close-up until you mentioned it, but 
in retrospect I agree.  Extreme close-up here as compared to the rest 
of the movie.  I actually also noticed a lack of tears, but then Dan 
sort of turned his head a little to the side and saw a wet spot near 
his upper lip.  I took this to be a tear.  Could have been a runny 
nose, though.  The area around his eyes is perfectly dry, if I 
remember correctly.  I've read theories about a connection between 
the fact that the eyes are a Dragons weakness and the "specialness" 
of Harry's eyes.  Do dragons have tears?
