Ralph Fiennes and Radcliffe explore what could have been between Harry and The Dark Lord

On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Daniel Radcliffe talks about quite a few tantalizing topics—including his own naked body—so it doesn't seem like much of a stretch when host Andy Cohen asks him to read an excerpt of gay Harry Potter fan-fiction.

After a few seconds of listening to Radcliffe read, though, the whole thing just hits you over the head with how awesome it is: this is Daniel Radcliffe reading about his character's gay feelings for Ron Weasley over sexy babymaking music. You can almost imagine that this is actually Harry, reading a diary entry about his devastating gay crush to Hermione in the Gryffindor common room.

But the best part of this is definitely Ralph Fiennes' clip, which comes a few seconds before Radcliffe's. Watching the refined British actor casually drop the line "Harry tried hard not to moan as Voldemort stroked him" is just too much. He says the line so convincingly, it makes you wonder if Voldemort really did want to duel wands with Harry—and if perhaps some of us have a future in fan fiction writing.

2. way back in the olden days, "super gay fan fiction" was known as "slash"

from the designation "x / z" (i.e. "Kirk / Spock&quot to indicate which characters it was about

3. Is it no longer deemed 'slash'?

Am am far, far from the loop it seems....

4. It's still known as "slash"

and there are huge fandoms, from Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings, and yes, Star Trek is as popular as ever.

5. It is still the same... a quick google will show you the extent to which it has continued.
