Radcliffe Strips Down Naked Rumours

4 November 2009 4:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Daniel Radcliffe has hit back at reports he will shed his clothes for the next Harry Potter movie - insisting rumours of a saucy scene aren't true.

The 20 year old, who previously bared all onstage in Equus, was rumoured to be flashing his flesh again in the next installment of the wizard franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.

Italian magazine Sorrisi e Canzoni appeared to confirm the reports, quoting director David Yates as saying: "Daniel Radcliffe appears naked in one scene. In the view we see Harry and a woman embracing and kissing. It’s an intriguing scene and very sensual."

But a representative for Radcliffe is adamant the truth was lost in translation, telling GossipCop the story is a "complete fabrication." »

Daniel Radcliffe Not Stripping Off in 'Deathly Hallows'

3 November 2009 10:49 PM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »

Just a day after Brazilian Harry Potter fansite Oclumencia posted news that Daniel Radcliffe will appear naked in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I", Gossip Cop has debunked the rumor. According to the site, although the British actor once went nude in a play, "Equus", he will not strip off in the next sequel of the young wizard movies as his representative called the report of naked Harry Potter a "complete fabrication."

Previously, Oclumencia mentioned that "Deathly Hallows" director David Yates has had an interview with Sorrisi e Canzoni magazine and admitted that Daniel will bare his skin in one scene of the upcoming film. Moreover, the site claimed the helmer told the publication, "Daniel Radcliffe appears naked in one scene where Harry and [Rupert Grint's] Ron are fighting a magical creature, who fled to confuse and create a vision. In the view we see Harry and a woman embracing and kissing. »

"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe apparently will not get down to his birthday suit in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I". Responding to the nude speculation ignited by Sorrisi e Canzoni magazine's interview with director David Yates, was the 20-year-old's representative. To Gossip Cop, the rep noted the otherwise, shooting down the story by branding it "complete fabrication".

In the view we see Harry and a woman embracing and kissing. It's an intriguing scene and very sensual."

Helen McCrory, who reprises her role as Narcissa Malfoy on Daniel Radcliffe's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II", has spilled some new details about the seventh and eight installments of the wizard film series. Speaking in an interview with Rotten Tomatoes on the set of Noel Clarke's "4.3.2.1", she shared about what director David Yates is going to offer on the last "Harry Potter" flicks.

"I think with these next two films, he's looking at this character [Harry] becoming a man. And that again, is quite an epic story," Helen explained. "That's Ulysses. Rites of passage. It's exactly what Noel Clarke did, in a way, with Kidulthood. We still watch those stories, whether they're set in Hogwarts or New Cross."

A 'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows' Update From Narcissa Malfoy, Helen McCrory

5 October 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

It's hard to believe that, by the end of 2011, the full collection of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" books will have been committed to film. It's been a staggering effort on the part of the producers, holding together (for the most part) a cast of talented actors who truly bring Rowling's magical world of wizarding schools, fantastic creatures and ancient evil to life.

This isn't to say that "Potter" has been without change. Michael Gambon stepped into the role of Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore out of necessity after the tragic loss of Richard Harris. And by the end of the eight-volume series -- "Deathly Hallows" will be split into two -- there will have been four directors: Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell and, most recently, David Yates. It's not terribly surprising to learn that Narcissa Malfoy actor Helen McCrory, speaking to Rotten Tomatoes, thinks Yates' time with series has been particularly "special. »

'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows' Split Point Seems To Be Confirmed

21 August 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

As most magic-loving Muggles know, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" -- the final installment in J.K. Rowling's seven book series -- will be split into two pieces for its upcoming movie adaptation. There have long been suggestions and assumptions about where that split might lie. Last we heard, director David Yates had "three or four different ideas" about where the break should be.

Now we have what looks to be confirmation, though it's important to remember the old adage that "looks can be deceiving" in this particular case. Joshua Herdman, who plays Slytherin crony Goyle in the films, broke the news in a Q&A held in the UK several weeks ago. "Potter" fansite MuggleNet is quick to point out that "the director and producers have made it clear that they could very well change" the split point, so take all of this for what it's worth. Be warned, »

Deathly Hallows II To Begin With Malfoy Manor!

20 August 2009 6:15 AM, PDT | Rupert-Grint.us/ | See recent Rupert Grint - Ice Cream Man news »

Red alert Rupert Grint and Harry Potter fans! Several Harry Potter websites report this morning that actor Joshua Herdman, who plays Gregory Goyle in Harry Potter movies (and who was also in Thunderpants with Rupert Grint) attended a fan convention Muggle Mayhem a few weeks ago, and revealed that the ending point for "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I" would be the scene just after Harry, Ron and Hermione are captured by the Snatchers. Thus, "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part II" would begin with Malfoy Manor scenes. Of course, it is too early for an official confirmation, because the director David Yates and the producers might decide to change this decision later on. Still, what do you think, is this the best place to split Deathly Hallows? Join our forum discussion here (so far we have 369 pages worth of Dh debates)! »

Mary Robinette Kowal - Dumbledore Is Gay, So Where's Fantasy's Pride Festival?

Back in October of 2007, Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling did something amazing: She told the world that Dumbledore was gay. What makes this remarkable is not that she chose to write Hogwarts' wizened headmaster as homosexual, but that she broke a firm fantasy stereotype by taking Dumbledore out of the closet.
