Daniel Radcliffe, the star of Harry Potter movies has hinted that he is considering permanently changing his name to that of the young wizard he portrays.

In a recent interview with 'Time' magazine, Radcliffe was quoted as saying 'I am constantly being approached by people in the street shouting "look its Harry Potter" and quite frankly I've had enough of having to explain to these idiots that my name is Daniel Radcliffe.... so quite naturally I thought maybe I should change my name to Harry Potter.'

Amid suggestions that this might suffice Radcliffe yet even more embarrassment, the young actor replied, 'I don't give a monkeys any more, I've already illustrated to the world that I am quite possibly the worst actor on the planet, what could be more embarrassing than that..'

Millionaire Emma Watson is reportedly taking a 'well earned' rest from filming the 6th Harry Potter film as producers feel she is over worked. However my sources can reveal that although it is true that Ms. Watson is taking a break, it is for a completely different reason all together!

It is a well known rumour that Emma has been unconditionally and irrevocably in love with her fellow Hogwarts actor Radders for some time now, but when she heard that her new BFF Miley Cyrus was dating him she was left broken hearted and could not face seeing Radcliffe everyday at work.

Emma refused to comment, but sources close to her say she has locked herself in her bedroom with a barrel of mint choc ice cream and a year's supply of Kleenex and will under no circumstances come out, not even to urinate.

Dan on the other hand had much a lot to say "I can't help it if woman fall madly in love with me left right and centre, I just have that affect on all of woman kind!"

However he did admit that Miley and he are not serious, so it looks like Emma doesn't have anything long-term to worry about as DanRad changes his woman quicker than he changes his underwear.

A new reality series produced jointly by the BBC and CBS will feature Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe in a Bachelor style format. Radcliffe will begin the series, to be titled "Me and My Stalkers" from a secluded castle on the coast of France. Co-stars will be 24 different women who have been arrested for stalking or harassment of the young actor.

As usual in this style of show, one girl will be sent home each week. However, being stalkers, they will usually manage to return. Speculation among producers is that the possible suitors for his heart will somehow kill or maim the rejected girls to keep them from being able to vie for Radcliffe's affections. Bettors thing that this may also happen to the more successful girls during the series.

The girl left standing at the end of the series will win a three week Greek Islands and Mediterranean cruise with Radcliffe in a honeymoon suite onboard the Pacific Princess (television's famous Love Boat).

Some of the young ladies competing for the heart and hand of Radcliffe include:

Sophie Jayne: A confused, overt, semi-illiterate school girl who has mailed "Radders" her panties every day since her 11th birthday. To date, she has posted over 90 stories on The Spoof website about their imagined affair.

SILVAN beauty Cassi McKay has been thrust into the spotlight following a chance meeting with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.

Cassi, 21, met the Harry Potter star at the 2007 Australian Film Industry (AFI) awards for a fleeting moment and unwittingly cast a spell over him.

Radcliffe recently admitted to the world media that he regretted not talking to the Australian beauty that he had locked eyes with back stage at the awards and later at an after-party.

Radcliffe, 18, recently said that the mystery girl had made a lasting impression and that he regretted not getting her phone number while he had the chance.

But, Radcliffe who has amassed a $50 million fortune, will have to wait in line as Cassi is happily in a committed relationship.

Her mother, Vicki, said that her daughter is very down-to-earth and not easily taken by fame or money.

In a real-life plot any screen writer would be proud off, it wasn’t long before Cassi realised she was that girl.

She had been performing at the AFI awards, playing the trumpet with David Campbell’s back-up band.

“It was an insane night and it was very exciting to be performing at the awards,” Cassi said.

It is what 'groundbreaking' romance novels are made of, She loves him yet he loves another but the other loves her.

Today it became reality when Emma Watson announced that she was in love with fellow Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe. Meanwhile Daniel was declaring his undying love for actress/singer song writer Miley Cyrus. And elsewhere Miley was explaining how she was in love with Emma.

Confused? As am I, so as perusal I chose to investigate further.

"Daniel is so very charming and sweet, I have always been in love with him it has just taken this long for me to pluck up the courage to tell him." Emma Watson cried.

"I can understand why Emma loves me, but I have to say that it is completely unrequited, I am in love with that Hannah Montana girl, what is her name....oh yeah Miley Cyrus, she is lovely." millionaire Daniel Radcliffe admitted.

"I love Emma Watson, I know it is wrong but it is just the way she makes me feel." Miley smiled, looks like she has got it bad.

So there we are, the perfect textbook love triangle, I hope it has some kind of explosive ending, hopefully with a cat fight or two and maybe a pregnancy thrown in for good measures.

It is a sad day for all us 'spotty' teenage girls around the world as Daniel Radcliffe formally known as Radders is pictured leaving his Fulham family home, looking frankly awful.

The teen heart throb appears to have gained a large amount of weight and basically let himself go. Today as he ran out to get milk from his local newsagent, he dressed only in his dressing gown and an odd pair of socks, witness looked on in shock.

"I am so out of here." said Jophie Wayne, a well known Radcliffe stalker "How can anyone fancy that?"

It looks as if Radcliffe is loosing his fans one by one. "What is the matter with these people?" He asked "I am only human I can't be expected to look perfect the entire time, well I guess if they don't love me in the body I am in, they never really loved me at all."

However things did look up for Radders later in the day as an unknown woman approached him and started coming on to him. As a hardcore Radcliffe fan (I could just close my eyes) I went to explore further into the identity of this mysterious lady.

On entering Radcliffe's bedroom I found a bus pass discarded on the floor and a massive pair of knickers. The next sight that met my eyes, will haunt me till my dying day. I don't think I will ever forget all those wrinkles and all that saggy skin, yes Radcliffe had got himself a woman, but I am sure she wouldn't look out of place in a nursing home.

I don't pretend to know anything about politics or any of those other intellectual subjects, mainly because I am too busy 'stalking' good old Radders but I can tell you this, Daniel Radcliffe is planning to replace Gordon Brown as the Prime Minster of Great Britain.

"I for one have grown tired of Mr Brown's Scrooge type approach and am going to do something about it, SO VOTE RADCLIFFE." Radders yelled.

Brownie however was not happy with Mr Radcliffe's outburst. "That boy can not declare an election on me. Does he no nothing about British politics? And for his information I am very kind and giving, I am no scrooge."

Radcliffe was seen marching down a busy London street, followers in toe with leaflets and banners. His plan seems to be to get as many 'peasants' behind him and then over turn Brown's government. Further proof that Daniel will turn his hand to anything.

Well one thing is for sure, Radcliffe has my vote, as soon as I am legal that is.  

Producers of the sixth Harry Potter movie, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" have confirmed that despite protests from several cast members, including Daniel Radcliffe, that notorious kiddie fiddler Brian Chung will make an appearance in the film.

Chung, 12, the world famous violinist known for his bad temper and foul language has already once before had a run in with Radcliffe in which he verbally abused the bespectacled star.

Chung will make a brief appearance in the movie as a pupil who plays the fiddle, for no apparent reason and without any credence to the plot.

"It's crazy" said Radcliffe "that this kiddie fiddler is allowed anywhere near the place - he has upset me, upset Miley Cyrus - he simply can not control his foul mouth - I guarantee he will upset somebody."

Chung though has promised to be on his best behavior.

"I won't swear and I won't throw a temper tantrum" promised the violinist who has been honored by the Queen.

"Anyway, I have more important things to worry about" said Chung "I have been accused of flogging a dead horse - well, that may be so, but at least it was my dead horse."

Some observers though are worried that Chung could become the new 'Paris Hilton'.

"I remember earlier in the year a lot of double-entendre led headlines involving Paris Hilton - it seems certain sectors of the 'press' are now focusing on Chung. I hope not."

Provided you didn't attempt to watch it through today's compulsory Iraq-wrought "All War Is Bad, Corrupt and Wrong" spectacles, TV One's Sunday evening drama My Boy Jack was perfect Anzac fare, and extremely moving.

Those were innocent days, and no one stoked the innocence more enthusiastically than Rudyard Kipling.

He was the copywriter for Britain's imperialistic drive of the time, and his work is often now derided holus bolus because of his "white man's burden" writings. But approached on his own terms, Kipling can also be seen as a glimpse of our finer selves.

He believed in an England that was worth fighting for. If he didn't focus at all on the bits of England that were somewhat less defensible, that seems to have been part of his overwhelmingly positive nature rather than a malign or patronising agenda.

In the case of his teenage son John, this nature morphed into something else - a sort of ideological stage mother. He was determined that his boy should go to war, despite John's manifest unfitness.

He was hopelessly short-sighted, and was rejected by all the military boards on those grounds, till Papa pulled a few strings and got him into the army.

In the event, John lived up to his father's expectations, leading his men in what is understood to have been a brave fashion, and engendering admiration and loyalty.

Daniel Radcliffe spoke recently, between shooting scenes for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, about the the upcomng final HP installment Deathly Hallows!

In the June issue of Film Review Magazine, Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, said the following...

On HP coming to an end..."It will be very, very odd to suddenly not be coming back to Harry Potter. And I'll be sad to leave the character behind and not see on a daily basis the friends that I've made."

On Harry's "dark place" in this one...Harry is unhappy for a lot of this film, mainly becuase people keep trying to kill him. And his love life is awful, too. That's what Jo [JK Rowling] does so well, combining everyday, mundane problems with this incredible other world."
