Nudity is the Eeeeeeeeee-bil
Yes, my friends, there will be nudity in this post, so if it offends you, or if you come from a society where nudity is frowned upon, I suggest that you don't click on the forthcoming link.
No, I've not acquired a sudden taste for pornography, nor do wish to offend any of you. This has all been brought on by a rather heated discussion I've had with a colleague from across the pond, who frowned on Clemence Poesy being cast as Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire because she had appeared nude in another movie. To make a longer story short, he thought her being nude in another movie was unwholesome in some way, and I simply could not understand his attitude, which admittedly is more befitting of someone living in 1843.
In the end, he said "You wait until you have kids, Joe! Would you want them searching on the Internet and finding pictures of their favourite Harry Potter character naked?"
My only reply was: "if that is reason enough not to cast an actor/actress, then they had better fire the lot of them right now, for I seem to recall many of the adult members of the cast naked in other movies before."
So I later did searches on Alan Rickman, Miranda Richardson, Maggie Smith etc, and these are the pictures I could find. Do not click on this link if you're offended by nudity, or if you are too young, and your parents will not allow it.
