I've been interested in what child actors can do as they grow, and while I'm a fan of the Harry Potter books, not the movies as much. Daniel Radcliffe is definitely an actor to watch - great potential and decent performance (even held a decent American accent). The film has a great concept, looks are everyone's deep, dark secrets, and interesting dynamics with families and friends. It was even executed well. I just think it could've been about 20 minutes shorter, and wrapped up a lot quicker, the excessive violence was unnecessary.
