Dubai, July. 12 (PTI): As Potter mania grips youngsters across the world, a look-alike of the child wizard from Ahmedabad will be here next week for the launch of the last of the Harry Potter series.

A leading UAE bookstore has invited Dhavel Dave to Dubai at the launch of J K Rowling's last book, "Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows". "It will be my first trip overseas. I am very excited. I have been invited by Jashanmal for the launch of Harry Potter's last book," Dhavel Dave said.

The third-year college student from Ahmedabad loves the attention showered on him. "But I am used to it now and have learned to handle myself in the expected manner. People ask me for my autograph and I love that." "I don't have a girlfriend like Harry has Hermione. But girls do ask me for autograph," Dhavel was quoted as saying by the Gulf News.

His father works as a storekeeper at the Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad while his mother is a housewife. Hoping to meet Daniel Radcliffe some day, Dhavel said, "It's a great feeling that a famous personality looks just like me. I sometimes wonder what his life is like. I would have a lot of questions if I ever get a chance to meet him."
