Daniel Radcliffe isn't the only Harry Potter star to strip down for a role.

Rupert Grint, the red head that plays Ron Weasley, has taken part in an interesting indie film.

The flick, titled Cherry Bomb, is said to hit theaters in January 2009.

The ginger is trying to separate himself from his wholesome image by partaking in a sex scene for the new film with his co-star Kimberly Nixon.

As for the reason why he took the part, Rupert says, "I really loved the script and having done Harry Potter, I wanted to do something different. It was quite a challenge."

The film centers around a love triangle between the main characters, Rupert, Nixon, and another guy.

Nixon is a bit disturbed and makes the two guys do some "terrible things" for her, with someone dying at the end.

The film was shot in Belfast and Rupert had been spotted partying often with his co-stars and friends.

Now when is Emma Watson going to film a nude scene?????

Could they be right?

Fox News claims that the real reason Warner Bros. pushed the new Harry Potter movie's release date from November 2008 to July 2009 is star Daniel Radcliffe's appearance in the Broadway production of Equus.

The Harry Potter lead will be right in the middle of his sensational, highly publicized run in the play — naked and having sex on stage!

That's supposedly not the image Warner Bros. wants associated with bespectacled Harry, who remains 'chaste and virginal'.

But, it's not like this is something 'new' for the film studio to deal with.

The Potter actor has already been nude and sexed it up on the London stage!

We think it's all about money!

Screw Harry Twatterr and its money-first studio!

It's all about Twilight, right?!

As we previously mentioned, Harry Potter bosses, Warner Bros. moved the new Potter movie's release date from November 2008 to Summer 2009, much to the disappointment of Potter fanatics.

Well, something's come up that should cheer up you 'fantasy' film fans!

It's just been announced that Twilight is opening earlier — from December 2008 to 11/21/08.

Yay!

The vampires are taking the place of the wizards!

There will be NO Harry Potter movie this November.

We repeat.

No Harry Potter movie this November, as previously expected and announced.

The popular franchise's release has been postponed to July 2009, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The studio, Warner Bros. is blaming the Writers' Strike.

Because of the strike, some of the big 'tentpole' movies they were counting on for Summer 2009 won't be ready, so they'll need HP to get them through next year's big season.

They say:

"Like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films-changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of," he said. "We agreed the best strategy was to move 'Half-Blood Prince' to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer."

Don't worry!

We're expecting the Twilight movie coming out in the fall to give us a good fix!

We love it when actors yap when their handlers aren't around!

Harry Potter himself, actor Daniel Radcliffe, says there's sex and drug references in the new, upcoming Harry Potter flick.

The mommys and daddys aren't going to like that, Daniel!

The wizard said in an interview, "There is a fair amount of sexual energy and there are some drug parallels. We have a couple of what David Yates, the director calls our 'Trainspotting moments'."

For those of you who haven't seen Trainspotting — it's an edgy, drug-fueld movie about heroin junkies in Scotland.

Not exactly a kids' film!

Warner Bros. is breaking some new ground. They've made a Trainspotting for kids!

On Thursday, Harry Potter mastermind J.K. Rowling delivered a hard-to-top commencement address titled The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination at a graduation event at Harvard.

You can read the entire address here.

Her words took our breath away.

“We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better,“ Rowling told the newly minted Harvard alums.

Moving. Inspirational. So heartfelt.

Now if only she'd stop suing everyone!
