The director of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" - the two-part final cinematic chapter based on the series of seven books - says Daniel Radcliffe will do several nude scenes in the upcoming movie, one of them of the steamy variety....a monster tortures Harry's friend Ron (Rupert Grint) with images of Harry in some sort of tryst with Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), with whom Ron is passionately in love.

Clearly not a children’s movie any longer.
I guess the series wants to go out with a bang!
Full disclosure: I’ve never read a word of HP.
“The Last Temptation of Harry.”
Typical Hollywood - when the creative juices run dry, just resort to nudity and sex.
Hermione does Hogsmeade ping
The kids that started reading these books when they were originally published are young adults now. However I fail to see the point of nudity in it.
Say what??
I thought they said they were staying true to the books?
Porn is for Kids now I guess.
I'm not sure where the nudity comes in but the final book is not for little kids. It deals with real violence and death. The assumption is that the kids who started with Harry Potter 1 are old enough to handle it.
Oh NO! Say it ain’t SO! JK should have put the skids on that idea - it’s NOT in the book - I am utterly depressed by this - next thing you know Edward will get it on with a were wolf! Nothing is sacred in the Obamanation of the world - NOTHING! ARRRRRGH!
But Hollywood does not specialize in skillful filmmaking.
So they are writing new (younger) fans? That doesn't make a lot of sense.
That'd be like me demanding that Charlie Brown and Lucy start getting on just because I'm now an adult.
These began as some very nifty, imaginative and entertaining movies. They were just fun to watch. Why in the world destroy them in this way. What a shame.
However, it's not been for kids since about #3 or 4 in the series.
The movies, IMHO, have never been for kids. Not little ones at least.
I think JK got co-opted a long time ago. She's always been a lib and as she hangs out with H'wood it's harder and harder not to be affected.
...what can you expect?...the whole “Twilight” thing is kicking Potter’s ass
LOL...sme here. I've never seen the movie "ET" either. The summer it came out, everybody told me that I had to see it. They seriously underestimated my obstinacy.
Harry Potter turns into Harry Potty?
By the last book the majority of the characters are 18, each book is aimed towards Harry’s age.
Euw.
