Radcliffe to do a nude scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

[frakkintalos]

It is being confirmed that Emma will be nude also, I had assumed that this must be some kind of defensive spell protecting one of the holcrux’s but apparently it is just a dream sequence…

“Potter is just taking cues from the competition.” Whut? Like these final films are in any danger from the competition. They are going to make millions, it’s a known fact. Why frak with it? Sounds to me like a need for the director to wave his cannon around.

Nudity for Nudity sake, there is a place for that. Nudity for dollars, there’s a place for that. This use seems very selfish. Move over George Lucas there’s a new destroyer of childhood in town and his name is David Yates. Why is this a good idea?

This is the whole problem. There is no place for competition in art. To create is not a battle. It is a shame we live in a world where people base success on profit and integrity is lost to the almighty dollar. There is no place for dong in our Deathly Hallows. IYKWIM

Nudity would have made me feel better about the 3hrs I threw away on The Half-Blood Prince. I doubt Ill see any of the upcoming films in the theater but adding some nekkid certainly couldn’t hurt.

I actually didn’t start reading Harry Potter until mid-decade, so I am not one who read Harry when it first came out. So, not being a kid reading these books i am not sure if they are really a children’s book. My opinion is that these stories are more for a tween to teenager than a child. If you look at the theme of death that is throughout the books, is that really approiate to have in a kid story. I really don’t think so. By the seventh book, this story is really for a late teen to be reading. So, really the movie should be more for thirteen and older. If it is a flash type shoot, so be it. I don’t see this turning into Hermione Gone Wild, or Harry Schlonger.

I agree, Cat. The books (and hence the movies) are aimed at an audience the age of the characters, and that ranges quite a bit over the course of the series.

My objection isn’t based on the nudity’s inappropriateness in and of itself, but whether it’s serving the story. From what I hear, it’s a stretch.

Has anyone found the chapter and pages where this scene may fall at?
