WB and DH ~ Nudity and Special Extra Scenes Update
So here is an Update on my last post about Dan Radcliffe and possibly Emma Watson appearing nude in Deathly Hallows.
David Yates has confirmed that there will be two nude scenes for Dan Rad: the horcrux scene in which he will be getting it on somehow with Hermione to make Ron jealous, as well as King's Cross (when Dan is supposed to be nude because he's in heaven/limbo/the afterlife/a dream/whatever.
Originally from Here in Spanish, translated on Snitchseeker.
"Well, Dan (Radcliffe) has appeared nude in the past, but there are a couple of scenes in the new film in which he will undress, but we're still thinking about how we present it.
"It's a fascinating scene in which Harry and Ron (Rupert Grint) are trying to kill a Horcrux (a magical creature). It tries to defend itself and creates an image of Voldemort's soul, that has a series of images where Harry and Hermione (Emma Watson) are kissing and embracing. And we will create something that feels very sexy and very intriguing to bring about a reaction in Rupert (who is in love with Hermione).
"There is another scene in Kings Cross station, where Harry almost dies and sees Dumbledore. In that scene he will also be naked," he added.
I wrote what I thought about this in my last post, but I wanted to share a comment from Snitchseeker with which I also agree:
I wish the whole being nude wasn't brought out in a dirty way in that scene where they fight the Horcrux, it was all about the depth of emotions there; Ron had been gone for weeks, having no idea what could have transpired between his friends and his jealously always being there of course, but I don't understand why nudity is taken in that form by Yates. Nudity shoudn't be used to show sexuality etc. in HP because it doesn't always mean that.
The real nude scene in the book where he dies wasn't a big deal because it made sense for him to be naked...nobody thought, ok so he's naked like OMG! It was like whatever for them because it wasn't dirty or nasty. Wish Yates would have been a little more thoughtful.

She's right because in DH, Harry's nudity is actually a sign of purity because he's supposedly been made perfect and doesn't need his glasses for instance. The fact he wishes for clothing may even be a sign that he's still alive and his soul connected to his body on earth. So obviously I think the folks at WB have missed something in the religious symbolism here. Harry wasn't dead but he could have chosen to go further on by catching the train in the station, according to Dumbledore.
And unfortunately, according to Yates they are also still thinking up extra scenes to film, and meanwhile no news about The Silver Doe or Prince's Tale.
"It's very difficult to find a favorite scene, but something we just did as part of the movie truly is priceless. It's a scene where Hermione and Harry dance together and is not in the book - it's something we created for the film and is actually very tender, very nice and respectful, and they also reveal some secrets about each other while dancing," said Yates.
Dancing? I guess this is during the wedding. Yeah, we really need more wedding, don't we?
(For some reason Snitchseeker jumps to the fact that it might be after Ron leaves the trio, but I doubt they would be dancing out in the woods).
Just once I wish one of these bozos at WB would say that their favorite scene was one with Alan Rickman playing his heart out as Snape. Just once before I die.
