Emma Watson Hopes Her College Roommate Isn’t a Harry Potter Fan

Heh. Harry Potter star Emma Watson starts school at Columbia University in the fall, and her only request? “As long as there are no Harry Potter posters on the wall, I will be fine and happy,” she says. Emma will be going all-out and living in the dorms, and she’s hoping she gets a roommate who isn’t a big Harry Potter fan.

But co-star Daniel Radcliffe hopes otherwise. “I really hope they are a really massive Harry Potter fan,” he joked. “I hope you walk in and the first thing you see is your face on a duvet.”

Mostly, I’m cracking up over the fact that Daniel Radcliffe said “duvet.” I’ve known adult men with families who couldn’t come up with the word “comforter” when describing bedding, let alone “duvet.” I guess it’s a British thing. Still. I think it’s funny.

But hopefully Emma will have a fabulous roommate at Columbia, and hopefully she’ll manage to stick the whole NYC college thing out for more than a year, unlike the Olsens. I think college sounds like a really good idea in theory, but when you’re stuck in your dorm room trying to catch up on 100 pages of American History for your exam tomorrow as your former peers are walking the red carpet and tossing back champagne, it suddenly gets a lot less appealing.

Today Is About Nudity and Puppies

It was only a matter of time before somebody snuck a cell phone camera into Equus and got some quality footage of Daniel Radcliffe’s nether regions. And by that I mean his penis. Yeah, it’s a penis. You will also see breasts and vaginas. The video is after the jump. It’s NSFW, but it’s art, dammit.

Is Hermione Quitting?

Rumor has it that Emma Watson is considering not returning for the last two “Harry Potter” movies. Emma, who is now 16, will be 20 by the time that the “Harry Potter” series is over.

The studio is denying that she is considering not joining her fellow castmates to finish out the series. She is a very pretty girl and I’m sure she will have a future in the movies but it wouldn’t be a good idea to piss off all of the tried and true “Harry Potter” fans.

Guessing they will throw a lot of money towards her way to continue. I hope she doesn’t go all Daniel Radcliffe on us and get naked. Actually that would fulfill the dreams of many a young dorky boy…and perhaps some confused girls.

Harry Potter’s Ass

Um, so, I think this kid’s 17, so I may actually be trafficking in kiddie porn here. If that’s the case, um — authorities? — if you could just kindly alert me I will gladly take this picture down. Until then, our favorite Equustrian, Daniel Radcliffe, continues to take his clothing off for promo shots. Rumor has it the actual play contains full frontal nudity, so it’s really just a matter of time before some Harry Potter cock makes the Internet rounds (holy Christ, I just said “Harry Potter cock”). Seriously — this kid was born in July of 1989. Am I really that bad at math or does that make him underage still? Is that legal in Britain? Underage penises? On stage?

I am all for this kid building a career independent of Harry Potter, but is this kind of reminiscent of Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls for anyone else? Like, we get it, Jessie Spano. You can play a different character. But you know what I’d really pay to see? Daniel Radcliffe doing the caffeine-pill episode of Saved by the Bell. “I’m so excited! I’m so, I’m so … scared!!” Okay okay I’m rambling now. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado: Harry Potter’s ass.

Harry Potter and the Dubious Relationship with a Horse

Dude, little Harry Potter got hot. Daniel Radcliffe, 17, who has starred in the Harry Potter films since the first release in 2001, is now working his magic on the ladies in a series of promotional photos for Equus, a play he’s doing on London’s West End. While the play is an award-winning dark psychological drama about a young boy who blinds a stable of horses with a spike, the photos (check them out here) feature a naked Harry Potter (with rock-hard abs and a happy trail to die for … if you like that sort of thing) posing with a white horse (notably less hot).

So … props go out to a former child star looking to take on a challenging and meaningful theatrical role. Right? Um, no. Parents of Harry Potter’s legion of young fans are outraged, and are sending angry emails to Harry Potter fansites. (Truly, I didn’t realize how utterly ungrounded the general public can be until I started posting my email address along with my Film.com column last week, and have since received not one but two emails from separate individuals who apparently believe me to be Tyra Banks and would like me to come and visit them at their house. Directions from the airport provided.) Here is one choice quote: “We as parents feel Daniel should not appear nude. Our nine-year-old son looks up to him as a role model. We are very disappointed and will avoid the future movies he makes.” Right, guys, because Daniel Radcliffe, six years ago, signed a contract agreeing to behave in a strictly Harry Potter-like fashion until the age of 45, or until you as parents step up to serve as the primary role models in your child’s life, whichever comes first.
