Poor Harry.

Naughty Harry!

Am I the only one feeling sorry for poor Daniel Radcliffe?

He's clearly being exploited. Fat corporate people are making him show off his Vaselined body and artfully trimmed treasure trail. They must have told him that showing skin is the sign of artistic integrity - look at the French actors, phwoar - and the poor boy believes that he's just showing everyone what a grown-up he is when he's actually drawing every man in rain coat out of the basement of their parents' house to pack the theatre come the opening night of Equus. I'd bet 75% of the audience won't even know the title of the play they are attending (no, it's not OMG I'M GONNA SEE HARRY'S MAGIC WAND SQUEEEE).

Naturally as an understanding grandmother with grandkids of his age, I am always sympathetic if Harry ever realizes how much he has been used by Hollywood.

But... I've tested this on a few people and they love Harry even more after seeing 'em and I'm all for getting more people to sympathize Harry when he realizes how much he's been used and abused. So I would love to tell everyone that I have gotten my maternal mittens on really high-resolution images of those photos such as the one above. By huge, I mean they are about 2 to 3 MB in size and if you print them out on good quality paper - not that I tried to; someone I knew did (HONEST!) - they look like actual posters from NAMBLA Weekly that you can hang on your wall and all.  You can actually count the strands of hair on his... hand if you go for that kind of chicken in your diet.

You can always find these pictures if you know where to look (hint: the image directory in the official Equus website - it works, for now at least), but if you don't and you need some to print out so that they can be used on your huge cardboard sign when you picket LA next week in protest of Harry's violation by corporate punks, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Black/white and colored versions available.

Okay. I can't print this picture out because I'd have to get it laminated to protect from my ever active drool. I had to double check with someone else that this was actually Harry Potter.
How you doin'.
Yum.
As a mother of two little ones, I feel a little wrong looking at Harry Potter this way.

bam, you keep Harry and I'll keep Jamie Bell. What, Billy Elliot's 20 now, so I can freely admit to saying that there's something really blue-collar and rat-like about him that fascinates me.
