Yet, it didn't have this big media attention...or at least, not as big as December Boys. It's a shame because Rupert will continue to be overlooked and underestimated and never seen for the truly wonderful actor he is.
It's nothing to do with the actors - in the sense of bias. Obviously Dan draws a big appear appeal as he is Harry Potter, the main character. Publicity & marketing is down to distribution & PR companies - W.B. managed this release. Both films however had a limited release. As far as I'm aware December Boys is not showing in Cardiff - the capital of Wales - which goes to show just how few cinemas will carry the film. Same can be said for Driving Lessons - although with that as it had joint-funding with a television company it was screened on ITV soon after its release.

Sorry i have do disagree with you look at emma all the attention that she gets it isnt hermione..
That's because Dan is the leading man & Emma is the leading lady, in HP.

Rupert is by far the better actor ut driving lessions was a TV movie december boys is actualy a movie so that is a big difference...
It had help with funding but it did get a theatrical release. Driving Lessons was a film.
