Love is in the air for Daniel Radcliffe as he goes for a romantic stroll with his girlfriend

By Sarah Fitzmaurice





Being part of the biggest movie franchise on the planet, there aren’t many people who don’t know Daniel Radcliffe.



And while his fame may have got in the way of his love life in the past, it the Harry Potter star is very much in love with his new girlfriend.



Daniel, 22, was seen strolling hand in hand with the pretty brunette on Tuesday.



She's just magic: Daniel Radcliffe and his girlfriend were seen hand in hand as they enjoyed a stroll around NYC on Tuesday





The mega movie star recently revealed that he was in a relationship while speaking to chat show host Larry King.



He said: ‘I've got a girlfriend at the moment, who I am very much in love with.



‘So you know, we'll see where that goes.’



But while Daniel has opened up about his feelings the identity of the girl remains unknown.



Despite Radcliffe’s hefty bank balance the couple enjoyed an low-key stroll earlier this week and both were dressed in casual clothing.



It's love: Last month the Harry Potter actor revealed that he had a girlfriend in an interview with Larry King and said he was in love with his girl, whose identity is unknown



Casual couple: The pair were dressed in a relaxed manner with Daniel in a simple T-shirt and short combo while his girlfriend opted for leggings and a lilac vest





Daniele donned a plain blue T-shirt and a pair of shorts while his girlfriend was dressed in a pair of black leggings a lilac long vest and a pair of flip flops.



The pretty girl also appeared to be fresh-faced with little makeup and her hair causally pulled back into a messy bun.



Daniel has only gone public with one girlfriend since his meteoric rise to fame starring in the first Harry Potter film in 2001.



Smokey joke: As Daniel, 22, enjoyed a cigarette he and his girlfriend shared a joke as they made their way around the city





In 2007 Daniel was dating actress Laure O’Toole after meeting during the West End stage play Equus but the couple split in early 2008.



Later that year Daniel revealed he had lost his virginity to a much older woman when he was 16 years old.



Speaking to U.S. Style bible Details magazine he insisted that the age difference wasn’t ridiculous but it would ‘freak some people out.’



In 2010 he was seen spending time with Olive Uniacke but later that year he also admitted to U.S. gay magazine Out that he wasn’t having too much luck with the ladies.



'I’m not getting too many responses, but, yes, I’m having a go,' he said of his attempts to find a girlfriend.



'I’ve never really done it [dated] because all my girlfriends that I’ve ever met, I’ve met through work,' he explained.



'So we got to know each other really well at work and then kind of ended up going out.'

Harry Potter cast gets superimposed on covers of classic albums

London, July 19 : Images of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have been used to design spoof covers of classic albums, like Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’ and David Bowie’s ‘Aladdin Sane’.

The trio along with Neville appeared on a spoof of U2’s album ‘The Joshua Tree’, the Daily Mail reported.

Using images of the actors from the most recent movie, ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part II’, a website has transformed them into subjects including Pink Floyd, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, The Ramones and Queen.

While on one Harry Potter and Ron Weasley are shown as Bowie look-alike complete with the singer’s signature lightning strike face paint, another cover shows Dobby the house elf as one of the four members of Queen.

In another, Voldemort’s army pose in ripped jeans as The Ramones, while ‘He Who Must Not Be Named’ also stars as Jackson on the cover of 1987 album ‘Bad’.

Professor Snape, played by Alan Rickman, stars as Elvis on the spoof cover of his record ‘68 Comeback, complete with leather jacket and guitar.

Daniel Radcliffe became dependent on alcohol

London, July 5 : Actor Daniel Radcliffe revealed he became dependent on alcohol when he was 18 while struggling to cope with the pressures of fame.

The 22-year-old actor, who rose to fame in 2001 when he first played the titular role in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", says he started drinking heavily while working on the sixth movie in the franchise, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".

"I became so reliant on alcohol to enjoy stuff. There were a few years there when I was just so enamoured with the idea of living some sort of famous person's lifestyle that really isn't suited to me," femalefirst.co.uk quoted the actor as saying.

Radcliffe gave up alcohol in August last year.

Harry Potter becomes experiential in digital space

New Delhi, June 24 : J.K. Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter, has launched Pottermore -- a website which builds an exciting online experience around the reading of successful HarryPotter books -- in partnership with her worldwide publishers,Bloomsbury, a statement said Friday.

Rowling has written extensive new material, nearly 18,000 words, about the characters, places and objects in the much-loved stories, which will inform, inspire and entertain readers as they journey through the story lines for the books on the site.

At a press conference at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London Thursday, Rowling revealed some of key features of the website.

She described how she has brought to life the Sorting Hat experience from her books for the first time on Pottermore, by revealing the questions asked by the "Sorting Hat" -- a magic hat which places newcomers into their respective houses at Hogwarts, the school of magic that Harry attends. She has also brought to the site an interactive module on the magic behind the Wand Chooser that finds the right wand for each user from over 33,000 possible combinations.

From October 2011, Pottermore.com will incorporate an online shop where people can exclusively purchase all seven of the Harry Potter e-books.

"I wanted to give something back to the fans who have followed Harry so devotedly over the years, and to bring the stories to a new digital generation. I hope fans and those new to Harry will have as much fun helping shape Pottermore as I have. 

"To add to my input into the website, everyone will be able to join by submitting their own comments, drawings and other content in a safe and friendly environment - Pottermore has been designed as a place to share the stories with your friends as you journey through the site," Rowling said.

Sarah Odedina, publisher & international editor-in-chief of Bloomsbury children's books, said the initiative brings the books and the digital age together in an innovative and unique way.

The site will be open to all users in October 2011.
