There should also be some sexual tension between him and Griffiths, but that, too, is not apparent yet in this production. (Maybe we should be grateful for small favors. ) Since some theatergoers are there to get a glimpse of Harry Potter in the nude, the house is full of security guards. Right before Radcliffe disrobes, they fan out into the aisles, looking everywhere for cameras. They've missed a few, however, and pictures have appeared all over the Web. "Equus" will open next week with $3 million in the bank, the highest advance for a nonmusical play in West End history. The production ends its limited run at the beginning of June, when Radcliffe takes off to film the sixth installment of the "Harry Potter" series.

Theyve drawn attention to a book that otherwise would have only had modest sales and not only turned it into an international incident but also turned it into an international bestseller. Its really quite the most extraordinary and bizarre attempt Ive ever seen to censor and suppress a book. Hills said his experiences as Tokyo correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbournes Age newspaper from 1992-95 had led him to be disappointed but not surprised at the attempt to ban his book.
