‘Harry Potter’ Star Hooked Up w/ Pete Doherty’s Cracky Ex

Who could have imagined Pete Doherty and that little red-headed dude from Harry Potter would be sharing broads? Strange, but true; actor Rupert Grint, 18, recently hooked up with Pete’s ex-girlfriend Katie Lewis, 23. According to friends of the couple, they’re totally happy together, even though he’s a millionaire, and she’s a former heroin addict.

“He and Katie have been seeing each other for a few weeks and are both really keen. They share a love of music so as soon as they met they clicked. It’s early days but they are very happy together.”

Katie, originally from Newport, Wales, dated Babyshambles front-man Doherty for nearly a year after meeting him at a gig in East London in 2002.

But within weeks Katie had become caught up in his £1,000-a-week drug habit, getting hooked on heroin and crack cocaine.

She turned her life around after checking into London’s exclusive Priory Clinic to get clean and is now carving out her own successful music career fronting rock band Bonnie And Clyde.

Pete wrote a song about Katie Lewis called “What Katie Did,” one of my favorite tracks by the Libertines.
