Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe was once stalked by a obessed girl who called herself 'Mrs Radcliffe'.

Radcliffe says the obsessed fan followed him around New York and even tried to jump into his car when he was stopped at a set of traffic lights.

Daniel revealed: "I've never had stuff from fans that's actually freaked me out. But I did have one moment you've just got to laugh at.

"Mrs Radcliffe, as she called herself, followed us around New York. I was on the publicity trail for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and we pulled up at traffic lights next to her car. She leant out of the window and left her legs in her car and flung herself over and tried to get into our car.

"It was one of those moments where you think, 'You're really devoted, but you're a little bit scary as well'. I think she was being carted around by her dad, and you think, 'You should know better, sir!'."

Radcliffe recently confessed he has been plagued by nightmares about being stalked by an England cricketer.

He said: "I've dreamt I'm being stalked by an England cricketer. I don't know what prompted it - although I've been watching huge amounts of cricket - but for some reason opening batsmen Andrew Strauss was being paid to stalk me. I woke up with a cricket bat in my hand."
