Little Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) isn't so little anymore...

I would suspect that people who want him to remain Harry Potter, age 11, or whatever, forever won't follow him.
(Maybe sorta like folks who want Jake Gyllenhaal to remain Jack Twist forever. ... :-\ )
David In Indy:
Are they still planning on making a movie for each of the books?
And if so, is Daniel planning to play Harry in the rest of them? Because he's going to be awfully old by the time the last movie is made.
I don't understand how they plan on doing it. ???

If he were in the United States, he would be considered a minor until that date. I really wonder if he could appear in on-stage nude scenes in this country under those circumstances. As the production is playing in Britain, are British laws somewhat different than American on this issue? Is it permissable for a seventeen-year-old to pose nude there? I just find it extraordinary, given the current widespread anxiety over the sexuality and sexual exploitation of children, that no mention of this element seems to have entered the discourse over Radcliffe's upcoming stint.

My understanding from a friend in the know, is that the age of consent in GB is 16; so Dan is plenty old enough to make this choice and appear nude in the play. I personally feel the fact that so many people what to stilt this young man's life and career because the character he plays in a "movie" is a role model to their children is all the more reason for him to take on a break out role like this and regain control. He is NOT Harry Potter and he cannot play Harry Potter for the rest of his life. Anyone who doesn't like it can get themselves a serious reality check :( JMO

Yes David they are and last I heard Dan was committed to finishing the series. There are afterall only 2 left. Dan is 17 right now. Harry is 17 in the next book. Not a very big stretch. But even if production takes in his early 20's no big deal. If Jake Gyllenhaall at 23 can play 17 in the Day After Tomorrow then I think Dan, Emma and Rupert should be just fine finishing this series. Most of the actors you see playing teenagers in films today are in their mid to late 20's.

That's true too. I never thought about it like that before!
Thanks Dottie! :D
