4. I'm behind reading the books

But Lelapin's been a huge fan since book one. :)

I'm hanging in. There have been some subtle but real changes in two weeks. My shadow isn't scaring me as much anymore. ;) There's much more work to do, but I think I'm finally on my way.

'Harry Potter' Stage Strip Stirs Storm

NEW YORK (AP) - ``Harry Potter'' star Daniel Radcliffe, who strips for his new role in London's West End revival of the play ``Equus,'' has ignited a bit of a media firestorm by posing for racy promotional photos for the production.

The Tony-Award-winning drama tells the story of a stable-hand who has an erotic fixation with horses. In one photo, Radcliffe, 17, dares to bare it all alongside a white horse; in another, he is pictured with a naked Joanna Christie, the actress who portrays his girlfriend.

``Equus,'' directed by Thea Sharrock, opens at London's Gielgud Theater on Feb. 27. Tony Award-winning actor Richard Griffiths plays a pyschiatrist who treats Radcliffe's character.

``Part of me wants to shake up people's perception of me, just shove me in a blender,'' Radcliffe said in a recent interview with Newsweek magazine.

5. I guess they think that's their job.

Guess what, though? Daniel Radcliffe's job is acting, so I think it's perfectly fine for him not to live as a 17 y.o. student of wizardry at Hogwart's.

[Kerrytravelers]

9. You'd think he was running naked in the streets!

He's in a PLAY! I think these parents really think he's a wizard! :crazy:

[tigereye]

11. every so often people love to freak out about Equus

good for Radcliffe, I think it's kind of funny.

Kind of like Steve from Blue's Clues not wanting to become Krusty the Clown....

19. They're more upset that Harry Potter raped Dakota Fanning.

:smoke:

[XemaSab]

33. She was asking for it

:P

[Ilsa]

36. Well, 17 seems a bit young. The performers were over 20 when

the drama dept did Equus when I was in college.

[regnaD kciN]

37. When I saw that play, the actors wore bodysuits...

But the U.K. has different laws on nudity than the U.S. For example, Keira Knightly did a topless scene for a film when she was 16 -- if had been made in the U.S., the producers and director would have been charged with producing child pornography.

6. My dear auntAgonist!

What exciting news! I can hardly wait to read it!

I have loved all those stories from the start...........

And now they'll be over.....*sigh*

Well......they are complex enough that I can re-read them many times!

I have forgotten many details........

Thanks for the heads-up, sweetie! :bounce: :bounce:

7. My daughter already has it circled on her calendar.

I guess I'd better get a line number now. Barnes and Noble is going to be a circus that night.

[LostinVA]

10. I already have a copy on hold -- number one on the list

[LostinVA]

8. $34.99 --- and I'm taking that Monday off

For that price, it's probably 1,000 pages.

[tigereye]

12. wow, that's a good deal more pricey than the other ones, isn't it?

But it is exciting. The books are great fun to read.

[LostinVA]

13. Yeah, it is --$5 or so

[uppityperson]

14. Barne&Noble and Amazon have pre-ordering around $19-20

Don't pay full price unless you want to.

[tigereye]

15. yeah that's what we did the last time!

it was exciting to have it delivered on the day. $36 is a bit steep, I think.

[auntAgonist]

17. thanks for the heads up

I'm ordering mine now!


:hug:

aA

[Samurai_Writer]

18. Pre-ordered it from amazon for $18.89

Yeah, baby. I can't wait!

[Shine]

20. I got an email from Borders about pre-ordering it, but the site wasn't working.

maybe I'll try Amazon, instead.

:hi: Can't wait...

[auntAgonist]

22. Amazon took my pre-order :

I'm looking forward to it! And it qualified for free shipping if I ordered more to bring it up to $25.00, I wanted another book as a gift so I ordered that too.

:hug:

[Shine]

24. I must say, I'm impressed with Amazon

I just ordered the new Norah Jones cd from them and it arrived almost immediately and was much cheaper than it would've been in the stores. :thumbsup:

[auntAgonist]

25. Oh I hope you love it!

Norah Jones is wonderful.

:)

:hug:

Amazon has never failed to please. I've ordered from them for 6 years now and never paid shipping. Things always arrive earlier than they say.

[mvd]

27. I've had some delays with pre-orders from Amazon

The last CD I pre-ordered, The Shins' new CD, was released on Jan. 23 and got here Jan. 29. And when you buy one CD, the shipping adds up. But still, sometimes I find it fun to buy from home.

[mvd]

21. Yea!

I'm not pre-ordering it, though. I want it the first day, and the local book store always has plenty of copies.

[crispini]

23. So the next question is when should I start re-reading the first six, to prepare?

I'm thinking June. I'm a fast reader. :bounce:

[auntAgonist]

26. I'm thinking I need to do the same ..

and re-view the movies again too!


:woohoo: HP marathon coming up.

[derby378]

28. Wonder what odds Vegas will place on Professor Snape?

:evilgrin:

[XemaSab]

29. Good times

[XemaSab]

30. The picture that launched a thousand filthy fanfics

:P

[texanwitch]

31. They already exist.

Slash zines have been busy with Harry Potter for a long time.

[XemaSab]

32. Correction: a thousand MORE

:evilgrin:

[texanwitch]

34. This picture will be popular at the convention I will be going to in March.

Lots of slash zines there.

[Ilsa]

35. I bet Harry gets laid.

Hey if there is an adult hardback edition and a kids' edition, something's up!

Maybe Ginny Weasley, that redheaded powerful witch, the seventh child of a seventh child (do I remember that correctly?) will get preggers and launch the next generation.

[Kerrytravelers]

38. So, Harry Potter gets naked, right?

Otherwise, where's the fun? :shrug:
