Emma Watson stalker questioned by police

March 18, 2007

London, England - Harry Potter star Emma Watson has been stalked at her school by an obsessed fan.

The Sun newspaper said police were called after a man approached the 16-year-old, who plays the boy wizard's pal Hermione Granger.

Their source told the paper: "The man actually gatecrashed her school. She was very alarmed and worried."

"He left Emma alarmed when he approached her and started talking to her about the Potter films."

"The school was informed and so were Emma's parents. The decision was made to call in the police as the man was not known to her."

A bodyguard was also hired to be with her.

The police spoke to the man and there have been no further incidents since they spoke to him.

Warner Brothers has just signed a deal with her to star in the last two Harry Potter movies.

From Wikipedia -

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (born April 15th, 1990) is a British actress who rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger, one of three starring roles in the Harry Potter film series. Watson was cast as Hermione at the age of nine, having previously only acted in school plays. From 2001 to 2009, she starred in six Harry Potter films alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint; she will return for the final two installments: the two parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Watson's work on the Harry Potter series has earned her several awards and more than £10 million.

In 2007, Watson announced her involvement in two non-Harry Potter productions: the made-for-television adaptation of the novel Ballet Shoes and an animated film, The Tale of Despereaux. Ballet Shoes was broadcast on 26 December 2007 to an audience of 5.2 million, and The Tale of Despereaux, based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo, was released in 2008 and grossed over US $70 million dollars in worldwide sales.
