Will Daniel Radcliffe be replaced in the new Harry Potter films due to Equus?

Oh, no! This is HORRIBLE!

All of which would, doubtless, have Harry’s female sidekick Hermione Granger feeling decidedly giddy. A sensation shared by executives from Warner Bros, who make the hugely successful film versions of J.K. Rowling’s books about the schoolboy wizard.

They are said to be ‘utterly dismayed’ by the steamy shots, as well as the discovery that the sixth-former will not only cavort naked for a full ten minutes during the production, but will also be seen, sources say, simulating sex while riding a ‘horse’ played by male ballet dancer Will Kemp.

They fear the scenes could damage their multi-million-dollar film franchise and could even lead, U.S. executives at the company told the Mail this week, to the actor being replaced as the clean- cut hero of Hogwarts School. One U.S. source revealed: ‘Warner Bros have been building up their publicity machine for Harry’s first - chaste - screen kiss when the next Potter film comes out in the summer.

‘Now our star is out there doing full-frontal sex. We’ve been blown completely out of the water by this.’

The company is also fearful of a backlash from parents and young Harry Potter fans. Indeed, websites have already been inundated this week with complaints about Radcliffe’s new role.

What do you think? Should he be replaced, or do you think that’s going too far?
