I just read the NYT review of the HBP movie and remembered the comment that critics were afraid to say anything negative about the series because it would hurt sales. El oh el.

Just checked out the review myself. Yeeeeesh, talk about sucking the joy out of a movie. I thought Dan did fine.

I figured the reviewer was being harsh because they drew the HP straw and were just sick of it. With perhaps a helping of "saying a Harry Potter movie is bad is good for attention".

I think Dan's main problem is just the fact that he never looks comfortable onscreen in the mellow moments.
