《哈利波特》系列影片主演丹尼尔•雷德克里夫表示听到人们猜他是同性恋，他感觉很棒。本月刚满20岁的丹尼尔说，让人们对自己的性取向产生好奇心不是什么坏事，并表示会让朋友上同性恋网站查看与自己有关的内容。丹尼尔表示自己身边一直都有同性恋朋友，这也可能是他平时举止有些像同性恋的原因。在其首部舞台剧《恋马狂》中全裸出演的丹尼尔表示很高兴《哈利波特》中的邓布利多校长被设定为同性恋身份；而对于影片的另外两名主演艾玛•沃特森和鲁伯特•格林特现在被人们视为性感演员，他表示不解。

Daniel Radcliffe, the star of the new film Harry¹ Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, thinks it is "awesome²" that people think he's gay.

The actor, who turns 20 this month, also believes it is good to keep people guessing about his sexuality and said he asks friends to check gay websites for mention of him.

He said: "It's wonderful. I grew up around gay people my entire life, basically, that's possibly why I'm quite camp, and some people think I'm gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome.

"It's always good to keep them guessing. I don't go on any blogs or chats or anything, but my friends are demons³ for them, and apparently⁴ someone said 'Daniel Radcliffe is gay. He's got a gay face!' I really don't know what a gay face is."

The sixth film in the saga⁵ Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which has been released worldwide, is expected to earn over £100 million in its first weekend.

Filming has already begun of the two part sequel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will be released in 2010 and 2011.

Radcliffe, who stripped naked for his first stage part in Equus, said he thought it was "wonderful" that the Harry Potter character Dumbledore was outed as gay.

He also said it was strange that he and fellow Harry Potter stars Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint should now be considered sex symbols.

He added: "It's been funny with Emma. Yeah, it's been very strange to watch that suddenly happen, because there was that weird⁶ time when she was like 15 or 16, and guys kind of knew they fancied her, but no one could say anything.

"She's always been a very, very pretty girl, and now suddenly that she turned 18, everyone's like "OK, now she's fair game! Paparazzi!" It is kind of creepy."
