'Harry Potter' star Daniel Radcliffe has confessed he fancied co-star Emma Watson when they first met.

The teenage actor says he had a crush on the pretty actress, who plays Hermione Granger, when they made the first movie, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'.

But Daniel insists there is no romance between the pair now, because Emma has become like a sister to him.

He revealed to America's Time magazine: "I had a big crush on her when I first met her, definitely. But she's more like a sister now, so it would be a bit incestuous. It's too weird."

But 16-year-old Daniel - who has played the boy wizard since he was 11 - claims he doesn't feel "weird" being the world's most famous teenager.

He said: "I've got quite a surreal mind anyway, so I don't think it's made much difference to how I see everything. That's what's weird - I don't think of it as being that bizarre."
