If anything, the latest Emma Watson dating rumor is proof the internet has a strange obsession with the Harry Potter actress. To be fair, she did save Potter’s life on several occasions — all while getting a perfect score on her O.W.L.s. Also to be fair, Hermione Granger isn’t real. Watson is, and she’s allegedly dating a member of the royal family.
Australia’s Woman’s Day magazine reports an unconfirmed rumor that Watson has been secretly dating Prince Harry. According to the magazine’s numerous (and unnamed) sources, Harry sent Watson a letter inviting her to a party shortly after she split with her previous boyfriend last year.
Whether or not the rumor is true, this new pairing is a fan fiction cross-over just waiting to happen. Meanwhile, people on Twitter are losing their minds, as they so often do:
