Remember when stuff based off kids books wasn't secretly being aimed at drooling tweenage girls? Then Twilight hit, and the sparkly vampires and homoerotic werewolves became the icons of a new generation (sorry boy bands, the bell tolls for thee).
Now Harry friggin Potter is joining the act. In an article on Telegraph.co.uk, it is revealed that there will be a Harry Potter nude scene in one of the movies based on the 7th book. Make that 2 nude scenes. Is this all really necessary? Star Wars managed to get away with entertaining the masses and becoming cultural icons without running around in the buff, why can't Harry?
I suppose it has something to do with who's being marketed to. Stephanie Meyer's books are clearly "Baby's First Harlequin Romance," but I thought Harry Potter was better than this. Sheesh. Hopefully, Deathly Hallows director David Yates won't decide to make Dan Radcliffe sparkle. That would be the nail in the coffin for my involvement with popular culture.
