Daniel Radcliffe is too short to be a sex symbol.

The 'Harry Potter' actor doesn't understand why women find him attractive, claiming they should turn their attentions to 'Twilight' actor Robert Pattinson — who starred as Cedric Diggory in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' — instead.

He said: "It's very kind of them, but I don't know. If girls like short and nerdy, then I'm a sex symbol. Rob Pattinson is a sex symbol. He's a genuinely sexy guy — he's got the height."

The 19-year-old British star — who was 11 when he was cast in the first movie in the wizard franchise, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' — also revealed he finds it "torturous" to watch the early movies.

He explained: "For me to look back on the old films is an almost entirely destructive thing to do. I just torture myself over it. I mean, I was young. I can't be held accountable for the performance I gave in the first two films — I was 11 and 12. I wasn't like Dakota Fanning... who could seemingly just do it. It was very much a child's performance."

"Something happened at the age of 14. I started taking it more seriously, which meant I started having more fun."

Daniel believes he would have found a way to work in the movie industry even if he hadn't found fame with the 'Harry Potter' films.

He added: "I would have always wound up in the film industry somehow, probably as an assistant director or something like that. It just so happened that it turned out this way."
