Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, who admits he has had trouble finding a girlfriend, was smitten when he locked eyes with a beautiful Australian girl at a film function in Sydney.
But who was she? The 18-year-old boy-wizard star walked around groups of party-goers afterwards but failed to find her.
Now the blue-eyed blonde who is convinced she is the girl who stole Radcliffe's heart has come forward, admitting that throughout the awards evening she and Radcliffe were "sort of smiling and making eye contact".
What's more, she is now preparing to fly to London next week.
But 20-year-old insurance worker Cassie McKay has some bad news for the Harry Potter star.
She has a boyfriend, to whom she remains committed.
And her journey across the world is for a four-month holiday she planned months ago.
Once more, it seems, Radcliffe's hopes of finding a girlfriend who isn't a gold digger who is after him for his fame and money, have been dashed.
peaking in London before Cassi stepped forward as the possible girl of his dreams, Radcliffe told of his love of "brilliant" Australian women - and the one in particular he met backstage during the film awards ceremony.
"There was one girl there, oh my god, she had eyes that just looked at me like she wanted to pounce on me," he said.
"She stared at me the whole night and I was going to get her number and then I couldn't find her.
"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 worth it."
The Sydney newspaper reporter who interviewed him asked if his paper could help to find her.
Radcliffe, who is worth an estimated £20 million, is said to have blushed and regretfully shaken his head.
"I don't know. I don't know her name, I can't remember her name. It was one of those things but she was stunning."
But when his story was published, Cassie, who was one of the musicians performing at the film night, came forward, convinced she was the girl he was talking about.
It was her mother who had prompted her.
"I think he's talking about you," she told her daughter.
As further evidence that she was the girl who had made Radcliffe's heart flutter, Cassie produced a photo of herself with him and described how they had a two-minute chat backstage.
"We said hello and had a quick chat and for the rest of the night," she said. "Just because I was fascinated, we were sort of smiling and making eye contact.
I couldn't believe it when he said he was looking for the girl."
Cassie said she had told her boyfriend of two and a half years about Radcliffe's hunt for the mystery girl and that she would be keen to meet up with the actor again when she was in the UK.
But she said that "the night" had ended where it had begun.
"I'm not looking to cash in on his public profile," said Cassie.
"I hope people don't think I want my 15 minutes of fame or anything."
Despite the convincing evidence that Cassie was the girl who had bowled the wizard over, several others have come forward to say they were the one.
One young woman, identifying herself as Kirstie, said that she and Radcliffe had shared a 'special connection.' Another wrote: "I just want Daniel to know his feelings are reciprocated."
The romantic world of Harry Potter wizardry became more complicated when dark-haired Melbourne saxophonist Savannah Blount, 23 - the woman photographed on Radcliffe's OTHER arm during a fleeting embrace with Cassi backstage - said she was the girl who really caught Radcliffe's fancy at last year's Australian film industry's glittering night.
What's more, she would by happy to date Daniel, unlike blonde trumpet player Cassi, who already has a steady boyfriend.
Ms Blount said she was charmed by the teen wizard and would be happy to go on a date with him if the chance arose during one of her regular UK tours.
"He was quite lovely. He was very charming, very polite," she said in Melbourne. "Maybe if I was working over there or touring, you never know." Though not a Harry Potter fan, Blount is attracted to the wealthy, good-looking young actor.
"Handsome? Yes, yes - and very short. I'm more for the taller type of guy."
