How sweet is the light, what a delight for the eyes to behold the sun! Even if a man lives many years, let him enjoy himself in all of them, remembering how many the days of darkness are going to be. The only future is nothingness!
Ecclesiastes 11:7-8

There’s been a big stink out here in true and only Family Land about the “nude scene” in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I. But, as usual, it has been blown way out of proportion. Imagine that. Turns out the nudity is implied. harry_potter_and_the_deathly_hallows_part_1_posterDaniel Radcliffe is shirtless, and Emma Watson wears a strapless bra. Both also wear silver paint to create a nightmare effect for Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint). They are seen in this state for about 3 seconds, with enough mist, smoke, and special-effects additions that any flashes of skin are obscured. And, while the movie is rated PG-13, "for some sequences of intense action violence, frightening images and brief sensuality", Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix also received that same rating. Those films, however, earned their ratings for violence and frightening images, so you couldn’t really get all in a lather to proclaim your self-righteousness for that. Too bad. Can’t have too many opportunities to show how righteous you are.
