A Naked Harry Potter Retrospective

It's over, kids. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Chamber of Franchised Goblets" or whatever opened in theaters across America at the stroke of midnight, closing a decades long cinematic chapter that hatched the most rabid, squealing supergeeksfans since George Lucas' sci-fi opus. To celebrate mourn the end of a legacy, we've got the legacy of a nude Daniel Radcliffe. That's a fantasy language we understand!

With a mix of pride and embarrassment, we admit that we've never seen a Harry Potter film. We know he's a witch, or a warlock, goes to Hogwarts, plays some sport on brooms, and spawned the most buzzed about theme park since Disneyland, but that's about it. All those terms like Dumbledore and Voldemort (or are those names?) go—swoop—right over our heads.

We also know Potter star Matthew Lewis supposedly filmed a nice, juicy jack-off video, that the series stars a bubbling cauldron full of hot, spicy guys, and that it inspired the cheeseball wonderment that is gay porn's first 3D flick.

However, Daniel Radcliffe is the one element in the witch's pot we couldn't possible miss. We watched him grow into a sexy young man with all the charm and delight you wouldn't imagine from one of Hollywood's usually egomaniac stars. Plus, he's done some fabulous work on Broadway! As theatregeeksfans, this is what really caught our attention. Oh, yeah, and the nude scene in "Equus." So we bid Harry Potter adieu with a trip down Shirtless Daniel Memory Lane.
