Harry Potter in a racey British Play...what do you think??? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. chaygylmommy (1822)3 years ago

I saw on the Today Show today that the boy who plays Harry Potter is going to star in a racey stage play in England where he is a sexy stable hand (I believe that's what they said). he is 17 years old and apparently doesn't want the stigma of only being "HARRY" for the rest of his acting career. I don't see anything wrong with this career move...even though 17 may be a little young for my taste for such a "sexy" role. BUT...the US is so much more stuffy about sex than other parts of the world. Anyhow, they talked to some people overseas about their opinions and there were a lot of people who said they wouldn't watch the Harry Potty movies anymore or read the books anymore.

What is your opinion?

Mine is that it's his CAREER...it's not real life and how can a part in a play or movie, ruin something so great like the Harry Potter books and movies? If I like the books and movies up to this point, why would the fact that he will be nude on stage as a MAN instead of a boy sorcerer ruin that for me.

What are your thoughts?

It is very easy for an actor to become typecast and have his carrer go down the drain. I think he is a fine actor and would be a fool to turn down this opportunity. From what I heard on the news today the part he plays simply has a scene where he appears on stage nude. People are making too much of this. Many actors and actresses have done nude scenes and it did not ruin their career. Drew Barrymore actually flashed her bare chest at David Letterman and she still has a job.

I totally agree with you! I think people are just shocked since he has been this "little boy" in these movies and grown up with this one part. BUT...he is becoming a man. I didn't hear the whole story this morning becuase of trying to get my son ready for school, but I did hear enough to know that people are upset about it. I dont' get it.

I am really not into nude scenes and i guess he is going to have a nude part. I do think he has grown up and I was surprised to see how grown up he looks.

i dont' mind a nude scene if it is really necessary. :) So many movies these days seem to FORCE nakedness into movies when it's not really necessary. The way I take this play, he is a racey stablehand and the nudeness will be needed.
He does look grown up, doesn't he???!! Kind of hot, actually! LOL

You know these people aren't thinking. He's an actor, it's his job. He needs to find other roles besides Harry Potter if he is going to continue to perform his chosen profession. Taking a risky role like that can give people a very different view of him and show his acting ability. I remember when Kurt Russell, Boy next door for disney, did Escape from New York. Many had problems with it but you know it did wonders for his career. It broke the mold he was stuck in. Radcliffe is just being smart and doing it now before he does get stuck.

I totally agree with you. Thank you for putting it so nice. Your words are exactly how I feel. Very articulate!
