I don't understand the people that are saying Dan is an bad acter! If he was so bad would he get the role then? I seriously doubt it.. And try to respect him for his career moves rather than trash him. This won't ruin him. I think it will make him more interesting to other producers.

Im glad he is growing up. But its sad, Harry really is gone :( It will be really odd seeing him be harry again in OOP after seeing these pics.

The only photo shoot they made for the play is Daniel posing like a butt munching faggie, they wanna make money out of his fame and looks but they don't care about his acting because it stinks. I wish someone throws a rotten tomato at his a** in the play, that'll be AWESOME! Btw some of the comments made my day! LOL

im sry...dont wanna b rude or anything..but *YUCK*...

MEOWWWWW

oh.my.gosh.

Is it strange that these pictures make me finally like him as Harry? Cause he's actually... good looking. He needs to keep this haircut.

....... Usually when I think of Daniel Radcliff I think of the first couple of Harry Potter movies, and while I am well aware of him growing up in each film I have always kind of seen him as a little boy, despite the fact I am only a few years older. Now I have to admit that view has changed. Definatly not a little boy anymore. LOL. In any case, I think it's fantastic he is getting other roles, because he is a good actor, and typecasting is a horrible thing. Good luck, Daniel, and congrats!

Wow, the maturity level on here is astounding..... I find it funny that people say " I can't look at Harry the same way..." Why? Dan is an actor and he is playing two totally different people. Getting this kind of role is a HUGE thing for his career! It shows that he can play other types of characters besides Harry. It's nudity people....not that big of a deal. Grow up eesh. Now, about the photo's...all I can say is WOW!! :) Is the guy 18 yet!!????? ;)

EMERSON, PLEASE PUT A RATING ON THESE PICTURES OR AT LEAST WARN US. THESE ARE NOT WORKSAFE. And certainly a tad inapproriate for little eyes.

Mmmmm, yummy! I like him with stubble, very sexy. *trying not to think about the fact that he's only a few years older than my kids*

Does anyone think DanRad takes drugs? I called it first if we find out in years to come. Usually these young stars that need attention the way he appears to do, like Lindsay and Paris. Also his hyperactivity plus all the work he's been doing has led me to be suspicious about this. I think he should come forward because many people are saying he's so confident to do this when usually this kind of confidence comes from somewhere.

katetate thats a ridiculous statement to make, and in what way is he trying to seek attention? he is doing a play that is on the school reading list for goodness sake, as for 'Extras' you obviously dont have a sense of humour. I hope you retract that comment, how would you like it if someone accused you of drugs

I bet 10 bucks someone will throw eggs at daniel in that play. That'll be hilarious.

katetate: ooommmmg is all I can say about your post..... Don't put Dan in a group with Paris and NIcole. Not every young celeb is like them and how ius always wanting attention?? I'd like some examples of that. You also say you think he is on drugs by the roles he is taking....ok, so every actor who does a nudity play/scene is on drugs? I am an actress so I guess alot of my actor friends who have done plays like this are all on drugs...well according to you! Who said he was confident in doing this? It being your first time as an actor doing something like that you're "you know what" -less. But why not expand your acting skills and options and try something out of the realm of what you usually do? ITs a great thing for an actor. *shakes head* This board....honestly!

Btw, in case some wise guy decides to point out that the description does say 'steamy'; it is not highlighted. I would hope people read full news pieces before simply clinking on links, but that perhaps is, as Dumbledore would say, optimistic to the point of foolishness. Also, stubble is very nice. *nods* Otherwise am not a big fan of DR, but good for him on trying out new roles. Typecasting isn't that all bad, but I would suppose that at his age Dan needs to shake of being ickle Harrikins. Personally, while he might shock a few people out of the Lookthere'sHarry! phase, but Harry's character is too classic to be simply set aside.

Whoa! He grew Up A lot!

OH MY GOSH!!!! Is that really Dan ???? *faints* oh my.....how could he change so much in such a short time.he was still a cutie kid in the 4th film.and now....he has got beard!!! and he looks like what...a model!!!hmm....someone is working out and i m not complaining ;-).

Well that's a pretty hourse. end of comment. Haha and now for real: HE'S SOOO HOT.. I never thought I'd say this but he is - he's so grown up what a body and the rugged look with no glasses ...my God. He is very much naked in some of them hmmm not something I'd like to think of while watching or reading HP it's just too wierd to think of Harry like that but as an actor that can't hurt Dans career and it really doesn't hurt the eyes ;)

HOLY MOLEY!!! You really need to have 2 different views of those pix! One for the little kiddies, and the whole shebang for us old ladies!! LOL

hot hot hot!!!

Goodness gracious... the Net is really filled with immature people. First off; I'm a guy. And I still think he looks good. And the best thing about him is that he looks NATURAL - not like some wierd clean-shaven androgynous robot. This is a real man, and a good-looking one. Grow up and smell the coffee. Which ties in to the second part: Almost every guy has hair where he has it. That he should shave it stems from the same idiotic stereotype that we file women under. Keep your body hair, Dan - it makes us guys feel it's okay. And everyone, please stop complaining and applaud that he's trying to do something new. I know I wouldn't dare.

yum - yum... i want him... now... :)))

What a beautiful horse...

I really don't like it. So what if being naked is a normal part of life - I just don't think Dan has to prove himself by being in a nude play. Besides, Dan (sorry girls) was never really very hot in the first place. This is just awful to look at. Will I see Harry Potter the same way anymore? Absolutely not.

People should stop saying that dan is a bad actor because hes not, if he was why would he get the role then!!!?? those new pics of dan r soooooooooo hot!!! i love the beard!

so CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY ALAN WOULD BLIND THE HORSES? SOMEONE HERE SAID THEY KNEW ABOUT THE STORY.. I TRIED TO LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE.. BUT DIDNT FIND OUT THE REASON WHY? WHAT MADE HIM DO SOMETHING LKE THAT?

I agree Freddie! And I don't think Dan chose this play because "oooh it has nudity! Ill do it to prove myself" I think he took it because it was a challenge as a play and challenged his skills as an acotr. Again, this board really needs to grow up. Dan, you should be proud of yourself!

He's not nude through the whole play people. Just the end of it. You're all over-reacting to something that lasts for only a few minutes. If he was doing a 90 minute movie where he spent every minute on screen fully nude and facing the camera I might agree with your accusation of excess but the fact is he isnt and you all need to go and find something more noteworthy to fret over. I hear global warming is a popular topic right now.

Holy... When did he grow up??! HELLO DANIEL!

This pictures are really nice. I'm glad his really getting into mature roles more, I mean he still has 2 HP movies to go, if he really is doing them, and I hope he does, but it's great and refreshing to see dan with another eyes, not just as Harry Potter, but as a serious actor.

Emerson, you're killing me here! Dayum! I think I can die happy now.

ew.

well i agree the movie is not about dan being nude.. but i dont see any other promotional pics up.. do u?so obviously that is what they are trying to use to attract people.. i just read a book report on the story..and its a very powerful story..and has been done before.. the play and the movie.. so why advertise it by putting NOTHING TO THE IMAGINATION PICTURES UP of an underage child.. the story is nice... realy nice.. er.. how is dan, nude ,gonna ride te poor actor who is the horse.lol ... lol. lol. ok just being silly.. lol just had a visual.. poor thing grunting and wheezing ..lolheheh.. thats going to attract a certain kind all right.. lol.

Rather nice indeed--I'm looking forward to the reviews of the actual play. Looks like some people will have all the more incentive to see it! Thanks so much for posting and keeping us up to date! The more the merrier!

HOLY shhh. yuum.

Getting my tickets today I sense!! lol

Good Lord and butter! Harry Potter has left the castle, people!! (sizzles)

lol at dragonesque. He suuuuuuure has :)

OMG OMG *spazzes* OMG HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTNESSSS SSSS!!!! WOW HE LOOKS GOOD!!!! ~MARY~

still wondering what he was doing with that horse... he looks hotter in the black n white pics... not as obvious that he's pale, lol... just wondering... do you think his friends/family are going to go to the play to support him... or are going to avoid it because of.. erm... certain scenes... i know i wouldn't want to see my brother, or one of my friends doing something like that... it would be a litte disturbing... but you still want to support them... hmmm... his parents have quite the decision to make...

Two words people! YUMMMM MEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

asia_canada: You have right! It must be weird for his family to see him naked on a scene. And what about the pictures of him? In the newspaper and all.. Must be strange to see their little son like that.. Haha..

Isn't that usually one word? Ok... He does not look like Daniel Radcliffe. Where did he get those abs? I'm in agreement with asia_canada... But I think I'd go see it even if I knew it might be weird. ~.~ `

darn the guy's got a lot of body hair for a 17 yr old! And to whoever said he does drugs . . . please! Trust the guy doesn't do drugs, he's just got ADD if anything. The only thing he does that's not good for your health is smoke and that's it.

Oh. My. GOD. *licks lips* *looks around* What?

Oh. My. GOD. *licks lips* *looks around* What?

I think he deserves a little more credit than everyone is giving him, I agree that it is a little freaky (not to mention hot), but it must have been really hard to get up the courage to do and I don't think we should be ragging on him too much for it. And all these comments are hilarious. I love our fandom, haha XD

MAGNIFICENT! He actually now looks very much like the Harry I imagined! FINALLY! Intense, tormented, attractive, mature... THAT's my 15-16-17 year-old Harry Potter, that IS -I think- Jo's as well. I just hope that he is actually becoming a great, cultured actor. But for now, I'm BEAMING ! :-) PS: yes kids, most men do have this kind of cute hair on their tummy. That is how our Lord created them/you. rofl.

*swoons* XD Sexier with the jeans on! XD
