Desi Harry!

There's an Indian connection to Harry Potter and Dhaval Dave from Ahmedabad has been getting attention from people all around.

It is rightly so as he bears an uncanny resemblance to Daniel Radcliffe, the lead actor in the Harry Potter series.

Wherever he goes, he is mobbed by kids who want an autograph or a photograph with the desi Harry Potter.

"I was very excited when I saw him. I couldn't believe Harry has come to Indore," said a kid.

"I am very happy. Harry is my favourite hero," added another.

Dhaval manages to delight not just kids but also adults, who are awestruck by his resemblance to the fictional character.

"It was great to meet him. Even the kids are very happy," said Braj Lal Pandey, a fan.

An MBA student, Dhaval is more than happy with the attention he receives wherever he goes.

The popularity of Harry Potter has meant instant fame for him. He now wants to essay the role of Harry Potter in any Bollywood adaptation of J K Rowling's book.

"I have already earned the label of Indian Harry Potter. I want to get a break in some movie or ad film that will bring me more fame," said Dhaval.

With the seventh and last Harry Potter book set for release in July this year, Dhaval is hoping he too will continue to be in the spotlight.
