Harry Potter’s Naked??
Daniel Radcliffe (aka, Harry Potter) is one of those actors that is trying to break out of being typecast into roles. Obviously, by playing Harry Potter, he’s already stuck himself as being a “children’s character.” Jim Carrey did alright moving over into a “serious” role after being in numerous funny movies, but someone like Adam Sandler or Will Farrell… I just can’t see them in a serious role. They’re typecast for life. Look at Kumar—he’s a terrorist on this year’s 24, but I can’t think of him as anything but Kumar. What’s his real name anyway?
Anyway, back to Harry Potter. Did you see the publicity pictures that he put out for his new play he’s in? Our friend, Harry, is using his ‘magic wand’ in a sex scene on stage and people are freaking out about it and these pictures. Obviously, he’s a role model for young kids who read the Harry Potter books. I don’t think it’s a huge deal because I’m guessing the same demographic that is going to watch this stage show are not the same demographic that would take offense to his new sex image.
A funny quote was that one parent wondered by Radcliffe’s parents allowed him to do this. The guy is going to turn 18 this summer… don’t you think he’s old enough to make this decision on his own?
Does anyone care about this? Does anyone read my blog?
Um, I’m not sure I should be looking at this at work… Maybe I’ll comment more from home.

Harry Potter is growing up and in order to protect his career he needs to pursue more adult roles. Parents need to realize this and get off the guys back. He is trying to make a career in the film industry therefore he cannot stick it out as a kid. This is how many childhood stars end up on cheesy infomercials and asking customers if they would like fries with that. People especially actors and actresses must change with age and keep up with the times. Your movies put me to sleep everytime Harry Potter but good job keeping up with the times!!!
