Dan's best acting?

Ok, we all are aware that the acting coming from Daniel Radcliffe wasn't the best in the series. Although to rank his acting from each movie 'In my opinion' was the Chamber of Secrets, yes i know he had some glucky moments but for instance when he's having a go at Lockhart for being a fraud and when he's talking to Aragog and gets agitated by Ron calling him, and also the improvisation he did to Lucius at the end.

I don't know, he did get better towards the end of the series but i just think he was more focused in Chamber of Secrets.

What do you think?

His performance in Chamber of Secrets has always been the one I admire the most. It is neither his most challenging nor his flashiest, but he does seem to be more restrained in this one than in the rest of the series. For the most part, he underplays it wonderfully and doesn't overdo things. And those moments where he really needs to show off his acting chops a bit more (for example the ones you mentioned), are pretty convincing.

So yeah, I think he gives a quiet but very effective performance here.

You want something corny? You got it!

I think Dan seemed more comfortable in the role this time around.
