Awox Wallpapers: Daniel Radcliffe goes looking for love as the Harry Potter stars have a ball

He's almost 18, a movie star and worth at least £25million.
Oh, and didn't Daniel Radcliffe mention he's also looking for a girlfriend?
The resulting throng of girls around the Harry Potter star appeared to be auditioning for the role.
Hemming him in on all sides, they smothered him in attention, asking for his phone number, for a peck on the cheek, an autograph, or to pose with them for a picture.

Daniel puts his arm around yet another glamourous fan - this one towers over him

First his arm around her, now he's sitting next to her ...

And now he gives her his full attention as the others watch - just who is this beguiling young woman?

Such was the attraction that extra security was needed for Radcliffe at the private party to celebrate the European premiere of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
While thousands of screaming fans were safely kept outside, it was the mothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters of film industry executives who mobbed Radcliffe at the party.
The celebrations, at a converted warehouse in Billingsgate, East London, had been strictly invitation only, with no media allowed. Cast and crew usually use such occasions to let their hair down away from the public eye.
Not Radcliffe. He spent three hours cornered by girls, having to stand up every few moments to pose with the admirers who formed a queue to meet him.

No relaxing at the party for Daniel as he poses with another adoring fan

The young star begins to look bleary-eyed as the onslaught of women continues

On and on it went, with Radcliffe occasionally having to be escorted by two security guards to the mens' room.
By 2am he looked like he had lost the will to live as yet another admirer asked him to pose for a picture.
But the young actor, who had declared at the premiere in Leicester Square that he would like a girlfriend, perhaps only had himself to blame.
He said: "I don't have a girlfriend but I hope to at some point.
"There is one particularly beautiful redhead I saw in the crowd who I'm looking forward to signing an autograph for later." Asked if that meant he had a soft spot for redheads, the 18-year-old replied: "I just like all girls really."

Some of the young women have Daniel backed into a corner

Keep those eyes open!

His co-stars looked as though they were having a sligthly easier time of it.
Despite not being old enough to drink, Emma Watso showed the more experienced celebrities how to party up a storm at the Harry Potter afterparty in Old Billingsgate Market.
The 17-year-old actress, who plays Hermione, joined her costar Daniel in celebrating the film's premiere, and they certainly didn't let the weather rain on their parade.
Co-stars Rupert Grint, 18, who plays Ron Weasley, and Katie Leung, 19, Harry's love interest Cho Chang, really let their hair down, dancing the night away to cheesy music at the bash.

They were joined by Lily Allen, Sophie Dahl and Peaches Geldof.
But author JK Rowling and Helena Bonham Carter fled the bash early with their other halves.
Lily Allen, who once claimed she never goes to premieres, was asked if she fancied Harry Potter, and she joked: "He's not really my type - I'm more of a Weasley type."
Look out Rupert.
Katie Leung, 19, who plays Harry's love interest Cho Chang, was bemoaning her lack of a love life.
Wearing a gold Lanvin dress and Christian Louboutin shoes, she spoke of being "miserably single". Asked if she would like a relationship with Radcliffe she replied: "Maybe - I'm keeping my options open."

Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna Lovegood and Emma also posed for photographers, while Harry Potter's creator J.K. Rowling made a rare public appearance.
She spoke of finishing the seventh and final book in the series, The Deathly Hallows, which is published on July 21.
"Finishing it was very, very emotional. It was a combination of relief and sadness really," she said.
Rowling was shocked to hear that some fans had camped overnight to catch a glimpse of their favourite magical characters.
"No. They haven't?' she asked. "Poor, poor things."

Daniel Radcliffe, with his costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, describes his hearthrob status as 'rather wonderful'

But she was evidently pleased at their enthusiasm.
"It's fantastic and they're holding books and that's the best thing."
Asked what the crowd had to say, she noted: "They're asking all the obscure questions and I can't say yes or no. But they've only got two weeks to wait now so I'm not being too mean."
She indicated that the final book would indeed be the last Harry Potter, and, when asked if she had been tempted to change her mind, she said: "No, it is really what it was always planned to be."
That may leave some sad, but as for Daniel, he could at least take some consolation in the £25million deal he has signed to star in the remaining two Potter films. This makes him by far the country's highest-paid teenage actor and outdoes even heavyweights such as James Bond star Daniel Craig.
"The money is absolutely fantastic and I'm very grateful, but it's not the main thing that drives me," he said earlier. "Being on Fortune ( magazine) lists is all very nice, but I am my own person."
