After stripping on stage for his part in Equus, Daniel Radcliffe will be seen baring all in the next Harry Potter movie.
The actor will surprise fans when he gets close to Emma Watson’s character Hermione Granger during a fantasy sequence in "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows", reported femalefirst.co.uk
"There are a couple of scenes in the new film in which he will undress, but we’re still thinking about how we... Read Full Story
Harry Potter fans are abuzz this week with news that the final film installment, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” will likely include a dream sequence featuring Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Hermione (Emma Watson) in a “very sexy” scene. The film, slated for release in two parts — the first opening in late 2010 — includes “mature” content that director David Yates created exclusively for the big screen, while axing parts of author J.K. Rowling’s original manuscript. Is it wrong to do... Read Full Story

I’ve read all the Harry Potter books and I used to be into the movies, but I have to admit that the last film was so damn boring that I walked out halfway. (I left during a party scene which was maybe an hour in, I’m not sure.) It’s like they’re just phoning it in with these Harry Potter movies lately. The last one, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , was the sixth in the series and came out a full eight years after the first. The movies have generally matured with their fanbase and...

Well this is quite a holiday treat: Rare video interviews are now
online with actor Alan Rickman on his role as Professor Severus Snape
in the Harry Potter film series. Mr. Rickman, who has routinely refused
(in most cases, not all, but most) to speak at length
about the pivotal character he portrays in the films, answered several
questions at the Hudson Union Society recently about Snape. Alan confirms he has... Read Full Story
A couple times already, we've dropped hints that your first look at the next Harry Potter film will be featured on the DVD and Blu-ray for Half-Blood Prince , which comes out next Tuesday. And whaddya know: The trailer for Deathly Hallows Part I has been leaked online.
Actually, this is the second version. The first was a really lame phone cam recording the trailer off a computer monitor, so since the cat was out of the bag early, I guess Warner Bros. went ahead and opened the gates for the... Read Full Story
As surprising as it must seem, the Harry Potter series has found its savior in director David Yates . It’s surprising for a number of reasons actually, but the two that stand out most are that he seems to have come from more or less nowhere (especially considering the names attached to other film in the franchise), and that his first shot, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was arguably the worst effort the series had seen.
That’s a bit of a hill to climb. Yates, attached to... Read Full Story

TT Games has been at it for a little time right away with the Lego-themed games, receiving on all from Star Wars to Rock Band , each entrance coupling the same goofy, self-referential humerous entertainment with a family accessible low separator to entry.
The brand new trailer for Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 takes these repeated tropes and adds them to the universe of Hogwarts, Muggles, and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, trace in iconic moments from the initial 4... Read Full Story
