Shocking absolutely no one, a 20 year old movie star smokes the occasional doob. Gasp! Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe was “outed” as a marijuana-smoker by a random partygoer, who gave (sold?) her story to the UK’s Daily Mirror. There’s even one picture of Daniel, with a marker-drawn mustache, looking totally high (Mirror cover here). The circumstances were that Daniel and his girlfriend Laura O’Toole were at a party thrown by one of Laura’s friends. According to this source, Wadia Tazi (narc!), Daniel spent the evening wandering around taking drags off spliffs, saying sh-t like “I love weed.” How incriminating! Actually, Daniel has gone on record saying he doesn’t do drugs, but my guess is that he’s contractually obligated to say that kind of stuff. Here’s more from the Mirror:
Giggling Daniel Radcliffe gets off his face on dope – as a friend scrawls a comedy moustache on him. The party-loving Harry Potter idol, a spliff between his fingers, could barely stop chuckling as the girl daubed his face at the house bash.
Fellow reveller Wadia Tazi, 26, said: “Daniel was laughing and seemed to find it funny. But he didn’t really look like he knew what was going on.”
The screen idol, 20, earlier lit up the joint in front of guests and repeatedly took deep drags. He also walked around the flat blurting out: “I love weed.”
Wadia added: “I was surprised by his behaviour. He is a kids’ favourite. I’m not sure what his fans will make of it.”
Yet just last year the £30million actor insisted: “I’ve been around some amazing people and still managed to keep a real childlike view of the world. I’m not into drugs.”
The get-together, at a high-rise in Camden, North London, was thrown by a friend of his onoff actress girlfriend Laura O’Toole. Wadia and one of his pals arrived at around 1am to find just eight guests as festivities wound down. He said Daniel already seemed in high spirits but keen that the newcomers did not twig who he was.
Wadia said: “Most of the beer had already gone and people were tucking into pizzas. Daniel looked spaced out and away with the fairies. He didn’t want us to recognise him. When I said he looked like that actor in Lord of the Rings [Elijah Wood], he got a bit funny and said, ‘No, that’s not me’. He looked pretty uncomfortable. I didn’t recognise him as he looked so different to what I expected from the films. When my friend told me who he was, I was shocked.”
Within minutes of arriving at the do, Wadia, his pal and the star were alone in the kitchen – and Daniel began puffing on a joint.
Wadia said: “He was really friendly and talking about his dad a bit. Then he pulled out a huge joint and lit up. Daniel said he loved it. He seemed happy that neither of us knew who he was. At one point a girl dragged him away, saying, ‘Come on Daniel, follow me. You don’t trust me, do you?’ She pulled him into the toilet and started drawing a huge comedy beard on his face.”
The mood almost turned sour when a man called Sam – believed to be the star’s minder – and Laura confronted Wadia over footage they believed he had shot on his phone. They found none.
Wadia said: “Laura was very protective. She said Daniel had a reputation to protect and couldn’t ruin it. I presume she meant by being seen smoking. I said I didn’t know what she was talking about. But almost immediately afterwards she and Daniel left.”
Last year Daniel – now filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I – revealed that this year’s Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince contained subtle drug references.
He said: “There are a few drug metaphors in the film. I think any film marketed in the main for children still has humour that works on one level for them and on another level for adults.”

I’m in the “give the poor kid a break” population. It’s not like he was drunk driving, or coked out of his head, or pulling a Lohan (which could describe any number of sketchy situations). Daniel was at a party, he was smoking a little reefer and chillaxing, probably listening to some bitchin’ tunes and talking about the brilliance of the Golden Girls. Whoops, that’s what I used to do when I got high. Nevermind.

A ‘casual’ pot smoker as opposed to a meth or crack addict like so many other celebrities? Yeah I can deal with that.

Big Deal! When I retire and no longer subjected to drug tests I’m gonna be a formal pot smoker, as opposed to casual.

That is a scary, scary picture. He looks like he has consumption.

Snowball, he always looks like that! I wish he would bleach his teeth and get a little color in his face (shallow of me, I know).
Darn, I’m trying to get my Crash to show up…

Poor kid.People are dumb.I bet Wadia is an annoying little b*tch.Although by now celebs should learn to smoke their joint in the privacy of their own home or somewhere people wont try to ruin them.At least until its legal,if that ever happens

Is smoking a spliff supposed to be more shocking than him showing his wang? I think that was the point when he decided to break away from his young fans.

OH NOES! Harry Potter burns!

Is the eye redness likely to be from pot smoking? I agree, it’s not a big deal, he’s young and having fun. As long as he wasn’t driving afterwards, who cares?

I don’t believe people were calling him Daniel at the party and there was anybody that had no idea who he was.
Also, why is the skin around his eyes looking like a Kabuki? Pot doesn’t do that to you.

I don’t get the big deal about the ganja. The prohibition of marijuana really needs to stop. And I say that as a person who has no interested in smoking it.

I talk about the brilliance of Golden Girls when completely sober.
I don’t know what that says about me as a person. Probably that I’m awesome.

Sigh. I can’t stand pot, but I love Daniel (seriously, what girl in my generation doesn’t have a few fangirl moments over Harry freaking Potter?!?!).
You’re right though Kaiser, he could have done much worse.

Big deal, pot is less harmful than drinking. I hope Ms. High-and-Mighty enjoyed ratting him out, I’m pretty sure she won’t be invited to another good party… ever. I don’t think I’ve ever BEEN to a party without weed present.
