Hermione And The Full Blood Prince

Well, I guess she really did have a thing about redheads.

A new report claims Prince Harry has been going on secret dates with Emma Watson, the actress who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise.

Hermione, Potter fans will recall, ended up with ginger-locked Ron Weasley.

Now, Australian magazine Woman’s Day claims the pair are having secret dates with each other and are "getting to know each other quite well".

This sounds less than definitive, so we are officially marking this report with a star for 'maybe'.

Woman's day reports, somewhat breathlessly:

When Harry heard she had split from her British rugby player boyfriend Matthew Janney at the end of last year, he called on mutual friends to help him hook up with the actress.He then sent Emma a short email saying that he would “like to get to know her” and invited her out.Although 12 other friends went along too to make Emma feel a little more comfortable, the pair hit it off!“Harry didn’t want her to feel like she was put on the spot,” explains one insider. “A party also shows he’s fun and not stuffy.”“He’s smitten – and it’s more than Emma’s looks.”

We'll see!
