Harry Potter to Play With His Wand on a London Stage

I'm not sure the producers of the Harry Potter movie series are going to be all too excited about this:

The boy wizard is about to bare all.

Daniel Radcliffe is attempting to shed his Harry Potter image--and, subsequently, his clothes--signing on to star in London's West End production of Peter Shaffer's Equus, a role that will require the 17-year-old star to appear naked onstage.

Gives new meaning to West End, eh?

The actor is set to star as psychologically disturbed stable boy Alan Strang in the play about the erotic relationship between the said boy and his horses. The drama chronicles Strang's interviews with a psychiatrist after it's revealed he has inexplicably blinded six of the animals with a metal spike.

Nudity isn't the only potentially embarrassing onstage hurdle for Radcliffe. The actor's stage debut also requires him to simulate sexual pleasure while riding naked on a horse.

Wasn't Harry warned about playing with his wand in public?
