Tabloids love exploiting (and paraphrasing and exaggerating) quotes about celebrities to hype up stories and increase readership. Doing so about Harry Potter isn't new, and the Daily Record hit a home run yesterday by claiming
star Daniel Radcliffe is "dreading his naked screen debut" in November's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Jenna from DanRadcliffe.com, from whose interview the Daily Record lifted quotes and based their story, tells it straight:
Just to clarify this mess they've created - At no time was Dan naked or did he say he was for the Prefect's Bath scene. They took a quote from my article and turned it into something it's not.
Not only did they lift quotes from my interview without permission, they did so without giving credit as if it were their own interview... and then took it and twisted it. Yet another reason why none of you should ever put any trust into anything you read in one of these tabloid rubbish liners.
Well said, Jenna.

AY AY AY AY AY. What the press/tabloids, etc. say to sell! They'll twist, cut, paste, and modify anything that gets into their hands! Oh My Gosh, I don't think Dan would like being naked in the scene anyway (he was having enough misgivings about wearing flesh-coloured underwear-LaughOutLoud)
In any case, who cares if he was naked or not? All that matters is that it's a good movie! HONESTLY....

These tabloids! Can't get enough of exploiting can they...? If they had properly read the interview conducted by Jenna...they would have had the common sense to think that...of course the fans would know Daniel wasn't naked...his only 16! Gah!

That is such a dumb thing to do to make things up just to get publicity. It's so obvious that Dan couldnt have been naked in that scene. The guy's not even 18 yet for gosh sakes. And I even if it were true, I don't think movie-goers would be sitting there whispering, "OH MY GOSH dan radcliffe was actually naked in this scene! *gasp*"

If Dan was naked (and I can't complain :D) the movei would have to be rated NC-17 and consdering the fact that Dan is only 16 the movie buffs are breaking child porn laws
uhh correction to my last post
"The movie buffs WOULD BE breaking child porn laws" and i meant to spelt "consdering" "Considering"

He is like 16! They would have minors go naked for a scene where he could very easily wear clothes! How stupid for the paper and for the people who believed in it.

The only good thing about a tabloid is that everyone knows when they buy it they're reading rubbish, or at least they should know.

Go ahead Jenna. Those idiots at tabloids could stumble onto a newstory in the middle of a riot. Well, we all know, here at HPANA, that it's not real. Thank you to our great news providers here for letting us in on info!

Now if those snooty so-called "reporters" did their homework, they would have come across the part of the interview where Dan said he wore flesh colored trunks. He even said they were designer!!! Poor Dan! He always has to put up with insane crap like this! He is such a sweet guy: who would want to hurt him like this? The real fans know what's up. The tabloids need to get stuffed!!!

I thoughly enjoyed Jenna's interview, light, bouncy and gave lots of info. Of Course Dad was not naked...I think that J.K. added all the bubbles to the bath just so no one would see anything.
The scene is not about checking Dan out, it is about the message from the Golden Egg.

Gosh! People are sooooo stupid sometimes. It almost makes me feel sorry for those people....there's no need for him to be in the buff for that bathtub scene. HELLO! It's called HOLLYWOOD people they do things like that all the time...most of time if you think your favorit actress/actor is naked in a scene they usually aren't. Bleh! to all of you lame-os.

It's funny how the possibility of Dan being naked in a scene has made it tabloid material.
