What's right with this picture?

And it came to pass that El Director should gaze upon the head of Thomas, and see it crying out in torment under the heavy weight of petroleum product forced upon it by the One Who Ruled Before. And he reached out his mighty hand, saying "fly, be free!" And it came to pass, and all was right with the world.

Yup. It's not that Draco isn't a scaredy-cat because he is. JKR loves writing his scaredy-cat scenes. Yet even she has never written this for good reason. It's a weird thing for a boy--even this boy--to be doing. Harry and Ron both pull wands on him without getting this reaction.

Ironically, it's even more odd in Movie Canon, since CoS seemed to imply this kid was pretty familiar with being on the wrong end of Daddy's wand. I'd love to see him cringing like that before the Pimp Stick, but this is kinda...what's he that afraid of?

JKR does have something for showing fear, doesn't she? Prolly has to do with Gryffindor bravery, those who have it and those who do not. She did mention that she valued it the highest of all the House traits...

But yes, and in front of his friends no less. Admittingly, movie!Draco and movie!C&G seem to not know each other to a startling degree ('didn't know you could read' indeed!) but all the same, he's such a prideful wee thing that I can't see him be willing to loose face like this. Not to mention that this is a girl who has him at wand point, and Granger at that.

Perhaps she's just cast something that is to be CGIed in later? One can have remarkably odd facial expressions mid hex.
