Three Points For Gryffindor!

Harry Potter can't wait to get his hands on those golden balls... the little bastard
We’re so lucky to have witnessed the handsome Daniel Radcliffe play a child warlock onscreen, grow up, drop trow, and blind six horses onstage, and THEN have a nice chat about it all with James Lipton on TV. To celebrate his rise from magician to man-candy, here’s three clips recounting each stage:

1) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Here’s the trailer for the sixth Harry Potter movie—pretty badass, no? A friend of ours who hadn’t read any of the Harry Potter books said that the movies stop making sense after the third one. He may be right. In fact, we read all the books and still don’t remember the part where creepy smoke monsters destroy the Millenium Bridge, but that’s what we get for reading the books while stoned, huh?2) Radcliffe Naked in Equus: If you haven’t seen or read gay playwright, Peter Schaffer’s Equus, go shoplift it from your local library or coffeeshop right away. It’s the touching story of a boy whose sexually uptight, religious upbringing causes him to blind six horses in one night with a hoof pick. We’re all for going out and having a good time, but six horses in one night? Jesus, Daniel. Anyway, the play ends with a famous nakey scene where he does the deed. Equus played for several months in England without a single picture of Daniel’s weiner hitting the web. Pictures of his cock appeared everywhere after the play’s first week in New York. Figures.

3) Radcliffe on Inside The Actors’ Studio: Here, Daniel talks about how pleased he would be if he were comfortable enough to get a woody onstage. He really is handsome, gentle, and quite charming in his own earnest way. And is it us or does James Lipton look a bit like Dr. Zaius from Planet of the Apes? Hmmm…
