Naked Harry Potter
written by Reggie
Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, it looks as though our little wizard has all grown up! News has circulated across the internet of Daniel Radcliff's upcoming lead role in the play production of "Equus." This seems to cost a huge uproar in the Harry Potter community. Even more when some promotion pictures of the play displayed a half naked Daniel in the company of an equally naked woman.
He has been quoted saying:
“Part of me wants to shake up people’s perception of me, just shove me in a blender. If I’d gone into the theater and done something light and fluffy, everyone would have just gone, “Oh, that’s not particularly challenging. It doesn’t prove anything.” But this is a really challenging play, and if I can pull it off—we don’t know if I can yet—I hope people will actually stop and think, “Maybe he can something other than Harry.”
Daniel has been playing the role of Harry Potter for the past six years. Now 17 years old, it's perfectly understanable that he would want to venture out and do something else. Of course he'd want to shed his Harry Potter image. However, by venturing out and doing other projects include a full flege nude scene? Let's look at the timing for this folks. Daniel is 17 years old, the Order of Phoenix is on the brink of coming out and all of a sudden he chooses to do this play now? Why not wait until the Harry Potter films are done?
Right now, all people are looking at is "Naked Harry Potter" so has Daniel proven his point?
Does it bother anyone else that Daniel is the only one you hear about in this play? Whose the girl? What other characters are in it? What is the play about?! It seems as though the top promotion for it is Naked Harry Potter. Check out the promotional pics for Equus. They're all about naked Dan with a naked girl and a horse...surely there's more to this play than that. This photo shoot is really what makes the nudity the top story.
Now I totally understand that Daniel is an actor and he can take on whatever projects he wants to. Yes. I fully respect that, but come now, surely he's expected this type of reaction. Overall, I think tha if the plays advertisement focused a little more about the play, covering all the actors and the actually story, then perhaps the focus on Naked Harry Potter wouldn't be so big.
