Daniel Radcliffe: March 2007 Archives

Despite previous rumors, it looks like Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson will be back for the final two installments of the Harry Potter movies.

The teen stars will reprise their roles in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" which will be the last two films in the franchise based on J.K. Rowling's best-selling novels, said Jeff Robinov, the studio's president of production.

"It would be inconceivable to imagine anyone else in the roles with which they have become so identified," Robinov said.

Rumors also surfaced that Watson would not return for the new films, but now Emma is in.

"I could never let Hermione go," she said. "I love her too much and love what playing her has meant to me. I'm excited and honored to be finishing what I started and playing her in all seven of the films."

The fifth film in the series, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," is slated for release on July 13.

The Harry Potter franchise has been in the news a lot this month.  Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger, is calling it quits.  JK Rowlings is going green by offering an energy conscious publication this time. And of course Daniel Radcliffe is bearing all in an on stage production of Equus that is likely to be picked up on Broadway in the near future.

Out of all this news, Daniel Radcliffe's naked play seems to be getting the most attention.  Over the past month, I have gotten tons of e-mails asking me publish pictures of Radcliffe's naked 17 year old body.  A fellow blogger even offered a few hundred pucks if I could locate the pictures for them.

I am sure my publisher would cut off my harry potter if I posted pictures of a 17-year-old boy on this site!

The simple answer is no.  I will not publish the pictures of the boy wizard's nakedness here, and I will not sell the photos if someone sends them to me.

Radcliffe is a 17-year-old boy, and in America that is technically considered child porn.

It looks like bearing all in "Equus" didn't affect Daniel Radcliffe's clout as little Harry Potter at all!  His reps say he has signed on for the final two films in the series.

Radcliffe has won rave reviews for his performance in the controversial play "Equus," and I am even hearing that several Broadway producers are bidding to bring the project to New York.

Many people wondered if his nude scenes and promo pics to advertise it may have cost Radcliffe his job as the boy wizard, but it looks like that isn't going to be the case.

Many speculate that Harry Potter my die in the final installment.  Radcliffe has been quoted saying he is looking forward to it.
