The Tale of Harry Potter and the Naked Role Not Quite Deathly Hallows

– New York Times: “Equus” opened last week, and the consensus so far is that Daniel Radcliffe has successfully extricated himself from his cinematic alter ego, Harry Potter.

Mr. Radcliffe told The Telegraph that “I thought it would be a bad idea to wait till the Potter films were all finished to do something else.” There are still a few to go. The fifth, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” is scheduled for release on July 13, and Mr. Radcliffe has signed on for the final two installments as well. (Meanwhile, the seventh and last book in the series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” will hit stores on July 21.)
