Now…

and Then…

The boy is in the middle is Daniel aka Harry Potter in the Movies if you didn’t figure it out.

What amazes me is that Daniel Radcliffe is doing this at a time so pivotal in the Harry Potter series, almost like it’s some kind of existential crisis to make/prove a point. He’s a star, a role model, a hero to Geeks around the world.

Ok Harry (oops I mean Daniel) we get the point, you’re a MAN, a REAL MAN, I mean look at all that hair, and you’re not even 18 yet (although you will be in a few days).

The Daily has more details on this but to quote the Warner execs:

A sensation shared by executives from Warner Bros, who make the hugely successful film versions of J.K. Rowling’s books about the schoolboy wizard.

They are said to be ‘utterly dismayed’ by the steamy shots, as well as the discovery that the sixth-former will not only cavort naked for a full ten minutes during the production, but will also be seen, sources say, simulating sex while riding a ‘horse’ played by male ballet dancer Will Kemp.

They fear the scenes could damage their multi-million-dollar film franchise and could even lead, U.S. executives at the company told the Mail this week, to the actor being replaced as the clean- cut hero of Hogwarts School. One U.S. source revealed: ‘Warner Bros have been building up their publicity machine for Harry’s first - chaste - screen kiss when the next Potter film comes out in the summer.

‘Now our star is out there doing full-frontal sex. We’ve been blown completely out of the water by this.’

Let’s see what Miss Hermione Granger (oops I meant Emma Watson) has to say to all this, maybe she will feel the need to compete! Let’s hope she’ll consider her playboy entrance when she’s matured somewhat, you be your own judge!

What’s Harry Potter looking at there? (oh I forgot, it’s Daniel)
