BLOWING her trumpet ... Cassi McKay may be the girl Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has been looking for.
YOUNG Cassi McKay believes she is the Aussie girl Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is searching the world for after a chance encounter with the star.
Cassi's Adelaide-based mother Vicki McKay read of Radcliffe's regret that he had no way of contacting the young woman who had captivated his attention at a party last year.
Vicki went public with her daughter's identity believing the star's account of the pair's meeting at the AFI awards in Melbourne was so similar to that of her daughter's that he must have been talking about her.
Speaking from Sydney where she now works, Cassi, 20, nervously agreed and provided a photograph of the pair meeting.
"He was looking at me a bit and I guess I was batting my eyelids back," said Cassi, a trumpet player who performed at the AFIs.
"We did make a lot of eye contact with each other.
"David Campbell introduced us and I got to talk to him briefly but not for very long."
Star of the Harry Potter movies, Radcliffe, spoke of his disappointment as the woman disappeared before he could get her phone number.
"I must have walked around that party for an hour trying to look for this girl like some sad pathetic dweeb but it would have been so worth it," he said.
Cassi is not convinced that she is the one sought by Radcliffe but said her memory of the encounter seems very similar to that of the star.
"It seems too unbelievable to be real," she said.
"I couldn't ask for his phone number, I mean he's famous."
Cassi will be in London on holiday next week and her photo has been sent to Radcliffe's management to see if she is the one.
