'Harry Potter' Star Addresses Love Child Rumor

By Christine Fenno Posted Nov 27th 2010 08:30AM

A tantalizing internet rumor caught fire earlier this month, raising speculation that a prominent 'Harry Potter' cast member has fathered a love child, and vexing fans with the mystery: Which star could it be?

Seven famous Brits -- Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, Oliver and James Phelps, Jason Isaacs and Alan Rickman -- appear on a 'Potter'-themed postcard that was apparently mailed to postsecret.com, the U.S.-based website run by author Frank Warren, who simply invites readers to send in anonymous postcards confessing a secret. And the sender clearly wanted to get a shocking secret off her chest.

"One of these men is the father of the most amazing little girl in the world," says the unsigned message scrawled on the postcard. "He's never met her. He never will. He probably can't even remember my name."

Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) has tweeted his reaction: "My friend just found this on the web! Just to confirm that I can be canceled out of this equation LOL!"

Each of the 24-year-old Phelps twins (who play Fred and George Weasley in the hit films) have also denied he is the baby daddy in question.

But, according to Us, the startling allegation has yet to spur a reaction from the other four stars seen on the postcard: Alan Rickman, 64, Jason Isaacs, 47, Rupert Grint, 22, and Harry Potter himself, Danel Radcliffe, 21.

Felton, 23, is reportedly in a long-term relationship with film assistant Jade Olivia. He recently stopped by 'Lopez Tonight' and told host George Lopez about the pick-up lines 'Potter' fans try, including one from a follower who read that Felton was tweeting from bed and asked: "Do you mind if I Slytherin?"

I just have to point out that it is Alan Rickman, not Alan Ruckman. He's one of my favorites!

Even if he is the father, who cares? This is 2010 not 1950. As long as he does the right thing, by supporting the child if it's his, this makes NO difference.

Lots of other genuinely important things going on out there...let's move along.

It doesn't matter... That's why it's gossip.
On a gossip website.
If you want "genuinely important" news, don't go to popeater.

Is everyone forgetting that the American public votes for this as well as everything else? It is not about the dancing as much as much the person is liked, hence the reason Brandy left early. DWTS is not making a political statement. The American public is.

I would bet the baby thing is a hoax. Any girl who had the child of someone rich would want support for the baby.

I find it hard to believe that he has a girl friend let alone a baby on the way..NOT my type at all..I guess there are some stupid girls out there with no taste though. But if there is a baby I wish only the best and good health.

It's not 1950s anymore it's 2010 almost into 2011 and it's doesn't matter who is the father of this little girl these days. Good luck to them
