Daniel Radcliffe - Can he still be Harry Potter after Equus?

[Iceweaver]

I dunno about the rest of you, but seeing Daniel Radcliffe naked in Equus shattered my perceptions of him as the innocent boy-wizard, and I don't think he can hold that image in the remaining movies now. What you all think?

^ I didn't think of Equus at all when I watched Half-Blood Prince last year, so no, he's till Harry to me! ;)

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I think that its a good thing though; I honestly thought he would be typecast as the "boy wizard" for the rest of his career, but Equus has done more for him (positively) and his career than he could ever have hoped for. And it came at a perfect time. I'll remember him for playing Harry Potter, but I don't see him ever re-enacting that role again, it'd be wrong!
