AceShowbiz - "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe apparently will not get down to his birthday suit in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I". Responding to the nude speculation ignited by Sorrisi e Canzoni magazine's interview with director David Yates, was the 20-year-old's representative. To Gossip Cop, the rep noted the otherwise, shooting down the story by branding it "complete fabrication".

Words of Radcliffe being set to appear naked in the latest installment of the "Harry Potter" series were brought into attention earlier by Oclumencia. It cited a part in the current edition of Sorrisi e Canzoni in which Yates was quoted as saying, "Daniel Radcliffe appears naked in one scene where Harry and Ron are fighting a magical creature, who fled to confuse and create a vision. In the view we see Harry and a woman embracing and kissing. It's an intriguing scene and very sensual."

Editors' Pick

This is not the first time the English actor has been hit with bare-all rumor for "Deathly Hallows". Back in August, Radcliffe had been reported confessing that he will shed some skins in the movie. "At first I thought I'd have pants (underwear) on for the scene. Apparently not," he said before adding that his "Equus" play has prepared him for it. "But I've sort of done that before on stage. It's all old hat now, really."

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the seventh and final book of "Harry Potter" series will be made into two movies, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II". "Part I" is due for November 19, 2010 release in both U.S. and U.K., whereas "Part II" has been set for July 15, 2011 release. Both will see Daniel Radcliffe joined by Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as they reprise their roles.
