Typical Hollywood - when the creative juices run dry, just resort to nudity and sex.

Exactly. The concept here is actually in the book. An attempt is made to subvert Ron by making him jealous of Harry. But there's no sex in the book. There's no need for sex. Skillful filmmaking can show jealousy without showing sex.

But Hollywood does not specialize in skillful filmmaking.

Putting this in context, it’s a nightmare of Ron seeing his best friend (Harry) betraying him with the love of his love (Hermine).

It’s not “sexual” in the gratuitous sense; it’s sexual in the this-is-a-bad-thing-to-do-your-best friend sense.

Because the makers of the HP films have never done that before.
