万花筒 Kaleidoscope 2007-02-06&07, 哈利波特裸体演出

K: Oh, Harry¹, what would the Hogwarts think? In between filming his 2 latest Harry Potter films, 17-year-old actor, Daniel Radcliffe is taken to the London stage in a rather revealing new project. With the details, here's NBC's Keith Miller². So I hear that we are in essence seeing more of Harry Potter than ever before?


Miller: Well, clearly, Contessa, Harry Potter has left his invisibility cloak behind in Hogwarts. As what we're seeing in the papers today, the Daily Express, showing him, you're gonna be star at a play called EQUUS, not a new one, it's a redo if you will, about a young boy who has an erotic attraction to horses, not very exciting perhaps. He is also on the front page, Cheery's, making news in England, primarily because he is an English actor, 17 years old, but a lot of this is publicity³ hype for the play which opens at the end of February. He's had other roles as well. He's trying to break out of the mould of being a Harry Potter, you should know, he's had many films now and he's just finished completing another one, I think he's got one that you just about wrapping up. Er, but clearly he is no longer attending Hogwarts, I personally hope suspect after this experience, he will be a graduate.

K: Er, Could you, just in the interest of good journalism⁴, hold the newspaper back up again? Cause, you know, quite honestly, we were so fast that I really get a good look at it.

M: Well, K, we’re paying attention to this. Now, look! It is here.... We will do this,Harry,Harry, there is Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe, this is the publicity shot for the play that will show in about 2 weeks.

K: I will say actually not so “hairy”.

M: Well, how would you, I don't even know this, which shows you how an investigative journalist than I am. I miss that part. But you are right, I'll mail you a copy of this, just to make sure you can have a closer look. It's gonna be a interesting for him and he is a very talented actor, he's done very well here in Britain, and a very popular young man. But clearly all of the actors and the actresses that were starring in Harry Potter are getting older, will move on to other roles, and that they are actors and actresses, they will take different parts. This perhaps is a little bit (risqué) a shock to some people, but nonetheless, so I am sure the publicity will pack them in the houses.

K: Yeah,a man who falls in love with a horse, no, you call it an erotic attraction, very interesting. I am not sure that's what J K Rowling had in minds when she wrote the books?

M: probably not.

K: Yeah,alright, Keith, I know that this has been a fun story for you, I apologize for embarrassing you, I embarrassed myself as well. Thank you.

M: We'll survive, and I am sure it's a good answer.

K: Yes, I think you are right. Alright...
