FLINT, MI -- Rumors circulating that "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe and Flint-bred actress Erin Darke are engaged to be married are not true, says Darke's father.

"I can tell you, it's not true. There is no marriage or engagement," said Ian Darke, after declining further comment to The Flint Journal.

Radcliffe was in Flint this week to visit Darke. The couple visited Flint City T-Shirts, Bob Evans restaurant, and Don Pablo's restaurant while they were in town. Flint City T-Shirts co-owner Marcus Bieth recounted the experience on Wednesday, while Bob Evans management declined comment.

Erin Darke got her acting chops at University of Michigan-Flint and Flint Youth Theatre. According to an interview she had with relatemag.com, she got interested in acting at age 13. Her first production at FYT was a backlit Christmas story called "Visions of Sugarplums."

She also was part of a troupe of actors calling themselves Flint City Theatre, which put on some shows at the Good Beans Cafe, according to Journal archives. Since leaving UM-Flint in 2004, according to Flint Journal archives, she has been in a number of movies, including "We Need to Talk About Kevin" (2011 and "The Wolverine" (2013).

According to an interview with Parade magazine, Radcliffe and Darke met on the set of the film "Kill Your Darlings," which they both appeared in.

"It was one of those instant things where you're like, 'Oh, I really like this person,'" Radcliffe said in the interview. "... There's a relaxed quality to our conversation. There's no effort in it. It's totally flowing. It's a wonderful thing."
