Our favorite vampire vs. our favorite wizard, who’s sexier? The Harry Potter star has already admitted defeat.

“Rob Pattinson is a sex symbol. Rob Pattinson is a genuine sexy guy. He’s got the height,” Radcliffe told USmagazine.com Thursday at the NYC premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

“If girls like short and nerdy, then I’m a sex symbol!” he said.

Pattinson got his big break as Hogwarts hottie and Harry’s romantic rival for Cho Chang’s heart, Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the The Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

“I’ve said probably three words to him in the last three years and that was before Twilight all kicked off,” Radcliffe said. “But I wish him well. Hopefully, I’ll see him at some point. He’s bound to turn up at one of these [premieres] at some point.”

When it comes to his own love life, Radcliffe tries to keep a low profile. “As a romantic leading man, I try to keep my personal life as far removed from the film as possible,” he said.

But the 19-year-old is still a romantic at heart. “I suppose I am fairly romantic in my own life,” he said. “You know, I like to think I am. Maybe ex-girlfriends might disagree with me!”

The young actor takes an old-fashioned approach to courtship, saying, “It’s always really long and involved. It involves a trail of notes!”

Although Daniel is a pin-up with teenage girls around the world, he is rumored to have rekindled his romance with actress Laura O’Toole and his Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince co-star Bonnie Wright is pleased for him.

She said, “I think it’s lovely he’s found somebody with the same background. I think it helps when someone can understand something that you’re in.”
