Emma
Watson: "Daniel Radcliffe and I Will Never be a Couple"
4/19/08
Harry Potter star Emma
Watson is so sick of the media speculation surrounding her friendship
with co-star Daniel
Radcliffe, she has vowed never to start a romance with the actor.
Watson, who plays Potter's sidekick Hermione Granger in the hit film
franchise, is convinced fans of the boy wizard series desperately want her
and Radcliffe to become a couple in real life - because their characters
fail to unite in author J.K. Rowling's books.
And the 18-year-old blames the public's desire for the union for the
constant press speculation about their relationship.
She says, "Dan Radcliffe is very charming, and very, very sweet
and knows how to handle it (the rumors about their relationship). We've
been handling this situation for six years now.
"Everyone has been going, 'Are you and Dan together?' Because it
doesn't happen in the books, everyone is so desperate for it to happen in
real life that any opportunity to come up with a story about it is
taken."
