Daniel Radcliffe Slams 'Harry Pothead' Photo

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 13th 2009 07:40AM

'Harry Potter' star Daniel Radcliffe is steaming mad over reports today he was smoking a joint at a friends party recently. Britain's Daily Mirror ran a cover photo Friday showing the actor in a painted-on mustache and taking a toke from something.

The actor's rep tells WENN that all he was doing was smoking a "roll-up cigarette" and posed the possibility he will seek legal action against the tabloid.

The statement: "We categorically deny the allegations regarding Daniel Radcliffe published in today's Daily Mirror. Daniel does smoke the occasional roll-up cigarette, but he was not doing anything more than this. We are considering our position and will be taking all necessary action in relation to such allegations."

The Mail said the photo was taken by Wadia Tazi, another guest at the party, who claimed Radcliffe was "spaced out" and told party-goers, "I love weed."

A competing tabloid in Britain said the report would "no doubt come as a shock to fans and could land him in trouble with bosses in charge of the family friendly Harry Potter franchise."

Harry Potter was wearing the invisibility cloak when those photos were taken of the horse. He just didn't know the cloak wasn't working that day, and that is the reason he showed up in the pictures naked.

I met my husband on AOL 13 years ago. We've been married for 8. We both lived in the same town and spoke for about 6 months before we met in person.

Ummm... this shouldn't surprise you because when you open doors to witchcraft or rather "BE A ROLE MODEL FOR IT" let me tell you that you open a door to demons. and they eat everything in ur house and leave you empty. THIS REPORT GIVES GLORY TO GOD. why? bcuz witchcraft is ministered to people through the Hairy Potter series. and i know, because i used to obsess over them. i had read every book that came out until the day i accepted Jesus in my heart and realized how much witchcraft had a hold of me and my family. i stopped reading everything i had ever read about it, i stopped even hanging out w/friends that were interested in it.
Witchcraft is not something to be considered harmless. It is the cause of a lot of things that are going on in our country. in the actual activity of witchcraft people pray to demons. this effects their own lives, people near to them, and the people they pray things against.
i remember doing this in the past. even though i didn't know that i was actually doing witchcraft myself.

witchcraft or even the movie series of harry potter shouldn't even be legal in the U.S.
the only reason why it is is bcuz our nation isn't submitted to Jesus Christ. theres soo many beliefs being made and orchestrated. i have never seen any of them demonstrate that Jesus is real and how i know if im entering His kingdom.

Jesus used to preach. and as he was preaching, the Holy Spirit came and anointed Him to heal the sick.
the bible says that the Holy Spirit was Jesus's witness that He was the son of GOD.
as i preach or tell you the gospel, if you believe what im saying, the Holy Spirit will prove to you that i am writing this by the influence of the Holy Spirit bcuz God sent me. and im speaking His mind.
so if you want to know the truth in the midst of all the preachings of the many forms of christianity and w/e out there, just take a bible which is where they are all supposedly preaching from and match what they are saying to the words in the bible.
if its not there, you know they are not being totally honest.
the bible says there are gainsayers, antichrists, and hypocritical teachers of religious law (who persued to killed Jesus)

but anyone who confesses Jesus as Lord, accepts Him in their heart.

honestly no matter what he was doing its his body its his life leave him alone

By MC

Ummmmm Jack is it? you are suffering something we like to call ignorance. Just because a movie isn't about Jesus doesn't mean it is evil it just means that we aren't all religious drones. Modern christians have twisted religion.I love harry potter, doesn't mean I'm going to run around with a wand and cape claiming to be a witch! People should be able to watch and do what they want this is AMERICA!! Grow up and stop being so closed minded! Furthermore, why not practice what you preach? instead of condemning people of a different faith, why not show them love and kindness instead of running around telling people they are demon possesed and sinners. It's people like you that make people not want to go to church. All they see is hypocrisy and hate and who wants that in church when they can get that every single just by walking out their front door? Grow a brain moron and while your at it, actually read your bible instead of forcing it into others people's faces!

By ELF

people...who cares if it was pot or tabacco...its none of anyone's bussiness but his own. If you want a freekin Role model for your idiot kids then YOU step up and be a parent and YOU be the role model. Stop looking to hollywood to raise your kids. As for you jesus freaks JUDGE NOT LEAST YE BE JUDGED! How about you take a look in the mirror before you judge someone else...not very godly if you ask me.

By ablo

i love weed

By mary ann

even if it was pot SO WHAT.
have you noticed that people that do drugs and rob or murder people ARE NOT SMOKING POT.

they are usually doing things like heroin, crack, meth.

POT MSKES YOU MELLOW AND CALM. IT IS VERY GOOD FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES. IT SHOULD BE LEGAL IN ALL STATES IT IS NATURALLY GROWN NOT MANUFACTURED LIKE THE OTHER DRUGS LISTED.

YOU PEOPLE NEED A LIFE GET OVER YOURSELVES YOU THAT THINK YOU ARE SOOOOOO INNOCENT AND HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG.

By nadima

Wow, how ignorant can you be? A role model for witchcraft! Ha ha ha. It is hard ro believe that people feel there is any threat in Harry Potter in this day and age. Merlin wasn't a demonic character back in the day. It's this crazed mentality that caused people to burn cats and kill 'witches'. Christians, there is nothing to fear. God is more powerfull than anything you fear so relax. Children reading the Harry Potter books know it is fiction. Exposing them to ideas and beliefs that are not your own only opens the door for meaningful discussion. If anyone should be offended it is the people who profess to practice witchcraft for having their belief system so fictionalised and treated as nonsense! LOL
