'Harry Potter' star Daniel Radcliffe is rumoured to be dating a trainee hairdresser seven years his senior.

The 16-year-old actor has become close to Irish-born Amy Byrne, 23, since they met last summer on the set of 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'.

The pair have regularly visited each other's homes, been seen out together and spend hours on the phone, according to sources.

Byrne's landlord, Douglas Jackson, says Radcliffe regularly calls at her rented home.

He is quoted by Britain's Daily Mail newspaper as saying: "Daniel has called round on a number of occasions. Amy says it is so she can help him get dressed.

"She does his hair and make-up before he goes to various publicity events in London. They are very close friends. As to whether there's a relationship, I have no knowledge of that."

Radcliffe's publicist, Vanessa Davies, said: "Daniel and Amy are good friends. There is no more to it than a friendship."
