    BEIJING, Jan. 28 -- Daniel Radcliffe is single and available. The young British actor, best known for his role as Harry Potter in "Harry Potter" film series, has broken up with girlfriend Laura O'Toole.

    The couple who never made their relationship public reportedly split up late last year, with Laura was quoted by News of the World as saying, "Daniel and I are still good friends and have a good time when we see each other. But we just have to be realistic."

    Daniel and Laura both were co-stars in Peter Shaffer's 1973 play "Equus." Laura was known as the understudy for the lead female character of Jill, played by Joanna Christie, who engaged in a lengthy nude sex scene with Daniel's character in the play.

    Rumors on Daniel dated Laura first came to the surface early November last year. They were said to be "very close" and were even photographed enjoying a shopping trip together in Fullham, West London.

    Laura is now starring in the touring version of "Equus," opposite Lily Allen's brother Alfie Owen-Allen, while Daniel is set to open "Equus" on Broadway later in the year while in the same time also is tied to some film commitments.
