   1 Hot? Him?

   2 I’m still creeped out by his nudity. I can’t tell you why. It just seems like he’s still 13 in my mind. And where is the lightning scar? Also, in the one picture up there, his hairy belly button area looks like a vagina. It’s kind of scary.

   3 Needs a little self tanning in the other photo!! Teenage girls the world over will be changing the way they think about little Harry too!!

   4 Baby, he’s legal here in the UK (16 is the age of consent) AND, I’m going to see him full-frontal in Equus on February 24th!!! Because that’s how freaking pervy I am!!

   5 LOL you go December. Take a camera phone *g* Bam Bam Bam, you have been reading too much bonnie dee. Kidding! All I can say is good for him, cuz he will have one hell of a time getting people to see him as anything but Harry. (there is a pun in that me think)

6. Maria Duncan Posted: Feb 3rd, 2007 at 2:32 pm

   6 I think he looks damn fine here! I’d love to help him out with his newfound sexuality

7. bam Posted: Feb 3rd, 2007 at 2:50 pm

   7 cuz he will have one hell of a time getting people to see him as anything but Harry. Syb, I think that’s why he’s doing it. Imagine when he’s not doing Harry Potter anymore and say he goes to audition for some Danny Boyle film and when Danny Boyle laughs at him, he could say, “FUCK YOU! I took off my kit on stage in Equus!” Good call on the Bonnie Dee comment. On the original post, I typed, “I may have to re-read Finding Home again.”

   8 He looks hungry… for me. Or food. But I like the former better.

9. Kat Posted: Feb 3rd, 2007 at 7:22 pm

   9 I think the pics are stunning - my favourite is the one where he’s looking at the girl, whose back is to the audience. But Radcliffe reminds me too much of my brother and for that reason, I have to look away really quickly.

    10 I know there are plenty of people in the Daniel Radcliffe = hot camp, but I just don’t see it. I see pale, scrawny 17 year old with an unfortunate chest hair pattern who is actually paler than my husband, a feat I wasn’t sure was possible. I guess I just like my men fully growed.

11. Samantha Posted: Feb 3rd, 2007 at 9:47 pm

    11 Oh and he’s not just naked on stage. The part also calls for him to have an orgasm on stage while riding a horse (or at least that’s what my theater major friend told me when she found out what play it was.)

12. Mrs G Posted: Feb 4th, 2007 at 1:26 am

    12 Those photos are so airbrushed to death that I’m impressed they manage to hide his zits. Or maybe they have cleared up already? At any rate, I’m still convinced his career will be over after he outgrew Harry Potter and will either spend the rest of his spaces running a bitter and cynical MySpace page like that guy from DS9 or he’ll be a real estate agent.

13. Darragha Posted: Feb 4th, 2007 at 8:43 am

    13 I think he looks pretty darn good here–and is only going to get better as he ages. I posted a similar topic on my blog. www.chameleons-on-plaid.com Although I bow to the wisdom that is Mrs. G., I hope his career isn’t over after HP. Maybe he’ll be able to pull a Ron Howard thing… Darr

    14 You think you feel rather Letourneau???? LoL, I’m not sure how old you are but I can guarantee you I beat you in the age thing and I felt the same way when I saw those pictures (because after seeing the first one a few days ago I had to follow the link).

15. Jackie Posted: Feb 4th, 2007 at 2:07 pm

    15 Look at that boy. My God, there ought to be a law. Actors who play magicians should at least have the courtesy of being flabby and pale and shit beneath the robes.

16. Darragha Posted: Feb 4th, 2007 at 4:12 pm

    16 Oy. I live in 100 miles north of where Mary Kay Letourneau romped with her 13 year old student. Never in my life would I think a 13 year old boy was attractive. Brooke Shields, at 13, was attractive. Gorgeous! But an 8th grade boy? Neva neva neva. Darragha Who has some experience with gym duty in a middle school…

17. Mrs G Posted: Feb 4th, 2007 at 4:50 pm

    17 Bam, I found some really high-resolution wallpaper-sized versions of those pics and thought immediately of you. I’ve linked to it via my name in this post. It’s a not safe for work forum, for those who are at work!

18. Wylie Posted: Feb 4th, 2007 at 8:04 pm

    18 Stuart Townsend…. I totally see it. But the boy clearly needs 90 seconds in the spray tan booth.

19. sam Posted: Feb 5th, 2007 at 4:24 am

    19 I think he looks pretty good - sun is bad for skin - what’s wrong with Celtic skin? Equus is a pretty violent play - but if he can carry it off, more power to him. Kewl. (Sort of like whatshisface the hobbit Frodo when he was in that really tough film (brain hiccup here - can’t remember the name) playing the psychopath remember that?)

20. dl Posted: Feb 5th, 2007 at 9:18 am

    20 I also like my men fully growed. He’s 17, scrawny, and has really strange skin color. That pic with the girl, he’s like gray or something…eeeewwh. The kid should make a vampire or zombie movie. Not to condone child predators (Mary Kay et al), but I’ve seen much better at local high schools. What do they feed kids these days anyway…and do teen age girls realize how lucky they are?

21. Rhonda Posted: Feb 5th, 2007 at 9:39 am

    21 Wow, I think his skin looks really HEALTHY and pretty. Nice and smooth and not at all like leather. Like alabaster.

22. shuzluva Posted: Feb 5th, 2007 at 9:44 am

    22 I’m in the Mrs. G camp. Something miraculous will have to happen for him to break out of the Harry Potter mold.

23. Imani Posted: Feb 5th, 2007 at 3:49 pm

    23 Sam, I think you’re talking about Elijah Wood in Sin City. He has done a good job, I think, of not being limited by his Frodo role. It helps that he had a decent acting career before it. I’m glad Radcliffe has left that awkward ugly stage. He looks much better now although not quite enough to make me lustful.

24. Bonnie Dee Posted: Feb 6th, 2007 at 4:13 am

    24 Nothing wrong with gawking. A teen isn’t that young and some of them are built really well, so what? Gawk away! It’s the seducing and touching part that is the naughty, not mere contemplation of male (or female) beauty. I don’t think anyone has to feel pervy about finding this shot of Daniel hot. I saw this play before and the movie made in the 70’s (with Richard Burton as the psychiatrist). It’s very powerful and sexually charged. From what I’ve seen in Harry Potter world so far, Radcliffe doesn’t have the acting chops for it. He does that little annoying mouth thing and that hitch in his breathing when he’s frustrated. That’s about his range. I’ll be very interested to hear what the critics have to say after the fact. And screw all these mothers worrying about their children’s role model. He’s an actor for Christ’s sake and has to take a challenging role now or forever be limited to the mold of HP. I think it’s a wise career move for him. BTW, in our college production of Equus, there was a body stocking involved and some strategic lighting. Still Steve Blakey, the guy who starred, was a beautiful, beautiful sight, sigh… And I can’t believe I still remember his name after all these years.

25. Kath Posted: Feb 8th, 2007 at 12:58 am

    25 I am twice this boy’s age, and I’ve done nothing but have lustful thoughts since I saw these photos! I never understood the toy boy thing… now I do. He’s beautiful. Masculine and yet vulnerable and all silky fair skin, sexy body hair, beautiful blue eyes and a lovely characterful face. I always knew he’d grow up into a good looking guy, but I never thought of him as having raw sex appeal until now. Five more years and he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with in the sexy man stakes! Equus is an intense play (a friend of mine recently directed a version of it here in Brisbane, Australia) and takes one hell of a talent to play the central role. I personally think he’s a very talented young actor, I only saw the first HP movie a month ago and could see the talent in that wee boy. I understand the Letorneau-esque feelings, I honestly do.

    26 He’s 17, Bam. 18 in a few months. Hm… maybe you SHOULD reread FINDING HOME. *runs*
