I never have been a big fan of Harry Potter - the books OR the movies. However, it is quite apparent that both have been more than successful over the past few years. Bookstores host parties, stay open until midnight and hold ridiculous prize give-a-ways on the date of Harry Potter releases. When the movies hit theaters, people flock to the midnight premiere, usually dressed in full costume. I really didn't think that much more could be done in terms of marketing these films. I mean honestly, what more could they do?

How about putting Daniel Radcliffe on Broadway.. NAKED!


I was shocked after stumbling across this article on cinematical.com. It's true, Daniel Radcliffe, better known as "Harry Potter", will hit the stage in his birthday suit in September 2008, the same month the next Harry Potter movie is set to be released. Though it doesn't come across as a direct promotional tactic, I find it hard to believe that this is just "coincidence".

To be quite honest, I think it's genius. This boy has been seen as a "heart-throb" to girls everywhere ever since his big break, and this will definitely draw audiences to the city. Pair this up with an incredible movie premiere for the next Harry Potter film, and the buzz in New York City will all revolve around Daniel Radcliffe. I'll have to keep my ears open for more information regarding this story.
