Harry Potter star Emma Watson is rumored to be involved in a secret rendezvous with British royalty Prince Harry, according to Perez Hilton.

The string of dates started when Watson broke up with her longtime boyfriend, rugby player  Matthew Janney last year.

One of England's most eligible men, Prince Harry wasted no time in trying to pursue the Brown University graduate. He asked a mutual acquaintance to hook them up, according to Fashion One.

Prince Harry also sent the 24 year old actress an email saying he would want to know her better. He invited her to a private party with a few of his close friends.

Prince Harry's reason for this "first group date" was that he didn't want her to be put on the spot, a source revealed to Woman's Day.

A party also gives the impression that he's fun and "not stuffy".

After the group date, Prince Harry and Watson got along so well that they are reportedly going on secret dates together.

Prince Harry is notorious for being a Royal Playboy and a bit of a mischief maker, from his party pictures leaking in tabloids. But a source reveals that this it is different for Prince Harry.

"He is smitten and it's more than just Emma's looks," says the source close to the British Royalty.

When rumors of their date circulated the tabloids, netizens have high hopes that these two people will eventually end up together.

Random Fun tweeted at 11:41 am:

"If Emma Watson and Prince Harry are really dating, then their future child will be a Half-Blood Prince,"

It seems Hermione is really into Gingers after all.

Will this be another Grand Royal union a few years from now?
