Harry Potter and his sidekicks at Hogwarts are about to get all dark and grimy on audiences. In a recent interview with the U.K.’s Mirror, actor Daniel Radcliffe, who portrays the title role in the films, said, “There is a fair amount of sexual energy and there are some drug parallels.”
Sexual energy and drug parallels? WTF?
Let me guess, Hermione gets all “heroin chic” on us and engages Ron and Harry in a threesome?
“We have a couple of what David Yates, the director, calls our Trainspotting moments,” Radcliffe continued. “There’s a great balance. The light parts are lighter than before, and the dark parts are extremely dark.”
Based on the sixth book in author J.K. Rowling’s best-selling series about the boy wizard, the movie, due in theaters Nov. 21, also reportedly takes its cue from the tome’s many scenes focusing on the teenage wizards’ interest in the opposite sex.
“I really wanted my heroes to grow up,” Rowling told Time Magazine in 2005, when the book first came out. “[Harry Potter’s best friend] Ron’s hormones get fuller play in book six.”
It seems like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has the same problems as a Muggle high school.
“There’s a great balance,” said Radcliffe. “The light parts are lighter than before, and the dark parts are extremely dark.”
