Okay, I’ll admit it - I don’t like the Harry Potter film series. I know it’s wildly popular, and I really did give it a chance. It just wasn’t for me.
But I have to say the recent controversy over Daniel Radcliffe has earned my attention. The 17-year-old star of the Harry Potter films is performing in the stage play of Equus. Specifically, he’s appearing nude in a simulated sex scene while riding a horse. Eeegads!
Since he’s 17, it’s a bit weird to talk about it. But hey, I’m not directing the play, I’m just reporting. And parents are pissed off because he’s “failed as a role model.” Oh, whatever. He’s an actor. You can’t expect him to be a child forever.
Anyway, Harry Potter might have a new fan.
