9:19AM Clem Bastow | At the rate the Harry Potter movies have been getting scarier and more grown-up, I admit I have been wondering what they’ll be like by the end of the series – more violence? Extreme horror? SEX?? – and, indeed, what classification they’ll cop.
So, thank goodness for Daniel Radcliffe, who has
revealed that the next installment will be just like… Trainspotting?!
The 18-year-old actor, who has played teen wizard Harry in all five of the films, insists the sixth instalment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will have drug metaphors and sexual references similar to the 1996 film about Scottish heroin addicts.
“There is a fair amount of sexual energy and there are some drug parallels. We have a couple of Trainspotting moments,” Radcliffe told Empire magazine.
Yes, that’s very good, Daniel *pats him on the head*
Not having read any of the books beyond a cursory glance at Wikipedia, I can speak with no authority as to whether this is an appropriate treatment of Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince. But what I will say is WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!? Thanks.
