Several reports are coming in from the UK Half-Blood Prince press conference that took place earlier today. The AFP quoted Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson on the romances behind-the-scenes, and how much of a heartthrob the Harry Potter star is; the Press Association got word from Rupert Grint about his recent bout of Swine Flu:

Dan talks about his status as a heartthrob:

"If girls like me, it has not been proven yet," Radcliffe told journalists ahead of the London premiere of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince".

"OK, I go to the red carpet in Tokyo and thousands of girls scream at me... but the me that sits in a darkened room watching cricket for eight hours with a bowl of pasta in his underwear and socks is not quite so attractive to girls."

Videos from the conference can be seen at CBBC's site to those in the UK.

UPDATE: The Associated Press released a short clip from the press conference, where Dan Radcliffe talks about Harry and Ginny's kiss, and Emma Watson elaborates on the romantic comedy aspect of the film. It can be seen below; thanks to Laura123 for the tip! Â
