Well! We predict that the jingoistic tabloids will go into an absolute frenzy of righteousness within the next day or so following the revelation that Daniel Radcliffe was 'avin' a larf about his mysterious Australian girl.

What's more, Harry Potter didn't even have the guts to come out and say it himself, choosing to speak via his rep.

There will be at least two very angry Mums at dinner tables tonight, we daresay!

"(Radcliffe's comments) were meant in jest, but sadly been blown out of all proportion," his London-based representative Vanessa Davies told New York's Daily News newspaper.

Translation: "Those silly little newspapers down there in the colonies, throw them some crumbs and they go into a feeding frenzy."

We're inclined to agree with this imagined colonial cringe; really, what did the papers think this was, a second take of that Heartwarming™ story about the dude who saw an Australian girl on the subway in New York and declared his love online?

Ooh, someone from overseas - not to mention rich - thinks Australian girls are nice! We've finally been validated!
