Hairy Potter

This is a tangent, but did anyone else think it was just a little too coincidental that on the same day it became possible to pre-order Harry Potter and the Deathly Gallows, we learn that nude pictures of Daniel Radcliffe (the actor who plays Harry Potter in the movies) are being used to promote a production of the play Equus?  [CNN story]

The movies have already done more than enough to change how I read Harry Potter books…now I’m left wondering what dark forces in the world of glamour fantasy photography conspired to make matters even worse.

Whoa … the rabbit hole goes deeper, Jim: check out this Extras episode, in which Herr Radcliffe plays himself, trying to “shake up people’s perception” of himself. Snicker.

Thanks, Chad. I’ve never even heard of that show, but parts of it looked pretty funny. Any good?
