Emma Watson is best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series of films. Will she now be known as one who is dating royalty–Prince Harry to be exact? There is a rumor floating around that states exactly that, and it’s been confirmed by at least one publication.

Woman’s Day Australia reports that the two are enjoying “secret dates with each other and are getting to know each other quite well.”

It seems Prince Harry reportedly reached out to Emma Watson via email, following her split from rugby player Matthew Janney, back in December.

The magazine continued, saying when Emma Watson first showed up to meet Prince Harry, that she brought along a dozen of her friends, and that everyone enjoyed the prince’s company.

“He’s smitten–and it’s more than Emma’s looks,” a source told the publication.

Prince Harry will be an uncle yet again before too long, as brother Prince William and wife Kate Middleton are expecting their second child. Do you suppose Emma Watson will get to meet more of the royal family?

Emma Watson recently starred in the film Noah, alongside actor Russell Crowe, and also made quite a name for herself in The Perks of Being A Wallflower, along with Parenthood star Mae Whitman.

It will be interesting to learn what Queen Elizabeth thinks of her grandson dating an actress–if, in fact the relationship gets that far.

Of course Emma Watson isn’t just an actress. She also went to college and earned a bachelor’s degree in English Literature from Brown University–meaning she’s way more than simply a talented actress and a pretty face.

What do you make of the notion that Emma Watson and Prince Harry might actually be dating? You must admit, they make a most intriguing pair.
