Mad Men: When Is a Big Reveal Not So Revealing?
Conservatives Hate Lena Dunham's Tweet About Peeing
Naked Harry Potter? That's the rumor about the new installment of the children's wizarding series. David Yates, director of 'Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows,' told the UK Telegraph, "Dan has appeared nude in the past. There are a couple of scenes in the new film in which he will undress, but we're still thinking about how we present it."If the rumors were true it wouldn't be the first time Potter star Danielle Radcliffe has gone au naturale for a role. The 20-year-old actor previously bared all in a stage version of 'Equus'.
While an au naturel scene may shock some parents it could be a good career move for Radcliffe, especially if he wants to break free of the constraints of Hogwarts. Plenty of accomplished and award-winning celebrities, among them Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidman and Patrick Wilson have built formidable careers by removing their clothes when the role demands it.
Like Radcliffe, Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Patrick Wilson appeared nude before an audience onstage in 2001's 'The Full Monty.' Wilson, 36, then took it all off when he portrayed a closeted gay Mormon in Tony Kushner's film version of 'Angels in America' in 2003.

Keep your clothes on Harry...it is TOTALLY unnecessary for the HP series for you to do the full monty...what kind of narcissist are you anyway? GROSS. and NASTY.

Clothing should remain on in any film. It doesn't influence the attendence. For goodness sake, aren't the Potter films about children, anyway?? Keep the clothes on Dan; your audience is of youth..
God, I hope they make him naked for the next movie. It's not like they're just adding it in just for the sake of showing him nude, there is a scene at the end where he has to appear at Kings Cross station after he "died". Also, there is a scene where Harry and Hermione appear out of a locket and torture Ron, making him think she's in love with Harry, not Ron. I never thought they were meant to be naked in that scene, but Yates said they might be. That would absolutely work.
Please, don't let this be UK tabloid bulls**t!!

I wouldn't mind it if Dumbledore found it necessary to spank Harry's creamy pink cheeks during detention.
He was technically naked in the fourth film with the bath tub scene. I see nothing wrong with it, as it was written in the book. J.K meant for it to be that way so why not? And Harry Potter isn't just a children's book. Anyone who thought these last two films will get a pg rating needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Besides, since there will be children watching these films, they'll probably not show everything. Kids have read these books so they know what happens. 14 year olds are forced to watch Romeo and Juliet for school most of the time, so there really isn't anything wrong with this.

I don't think there would be anything sexual about him being naked. The part of the book where Harry is nude is where he nearly dies and has a vision about himself naked. Why do they make big deals about these things? Nudity is not always sexual.

Well, it's yet to be seen whether anything sexual takes place between Harry and Ron as they play a private little game of "wizards-go-whackinoff".
THANKS FOR RUINING THE POTTER SERIES FOR ALL OF US. THE LAST MOVIE STUNK TO HIGH HEAVEN & YOU CAN REST ASSURED I WILL NOT BE ATTENDING THIS ONE NOR WILL ANY OF MY FRIENDS. YOU HAVE JUST RUINED THE "MAGIC" OF HARRY POTTER--THANKS A LOT.

I'm sure they won't miss you.
its ice to know that you have that kind of control over your friends.....also read a book ever now then. You'll find out....it a whole new world.
So much for the Harry Potter Image, rest assured my grandchildren will never read or see another Harry Potter in my home. Morality in Hollywood is nonexistant.
Just wait til you see what the new student, played by Adam Lambert, does to Harry in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Wand" !!
Wow that is what I like to call an over reaction. Seriously JOAN I don't think everyone heard you, yell just a little bit louder.
It's a book series. You can go to any Barnes and Noble right now to find out how the books end. I don't think there's any "Magic" left.
It isn't necessary. No if's and's or butt's!

Hah!!! You said butts instead of buts.
We are much to nude phobic in this society. I have two teenage daughters who are die-hard "Potter" fans and I have no problem with them seeing this movie with a nude Daniel Radcliffe so long as it done tastefully and for the craft of the art without sex or porn. The human body is beautiful. Why do we consistently turn away as if we should be ashamed? I say go for it.

J.K. Rowling supposedly wrote the scene in the "waiting room" with departed Dumbledore and a naked Harry after Radcliffe appeared in Equus. She did it so he would have to shed the clothes again and I think he should follow the book and do it. It's a very powerful scene and shouldn't be changed for a few prudes. Any child or adult who read the books knows Harry doesn't have clothes at that point. It can be shot tastefully.

Extremely poor judgement....I hope it brings down his career a notch or two...and it may.

What Hypocrisy!!!! Parents let their kids see dead bodies and killing on TV news every day, but lose their minds over a nude scene in a movie.
