Emma Watson best known for playing the Harry Potter character Hermione Granger has been spotted get cosy with a rugby player in the French Riviera last weekend.

Emma’s lucky rugby pal is called Tom Ducker and is 17 years old.

The couple sipped at some champers and munching lobster in the Castel Plage resturant and stayed at Chateau de la Chevre d’Or in Eze, near Nice.

Staff at the exquiste Chateau praised Emma Watson and Tom Ducker and told The Daily Mail that they were a delight to serve. Chateau owner Ali Abdelhafidh said:

“They arrived quietly at about 7.30pm and drank champagne and ate lobsters all night. They were clearly loving each other’s company and said they were in a very romantic place, with the Mediterranean just in front of them and great music.

They said they were having a wonderful holiday and did not leave until well after 2am. It was great to see a young couple so much in love but Emma had time for everyone else, too.

A lot of celebrities come here, including Elton John and Bono, but having Emma here was something special. She’s a real star in every sense of the word.”

A diner also raved about the young couple and said:

 “They were knocking back the champagne and didn’t stop laughing and joking. Emma was acting like a beautifully mannered young woman. Castel Plage is very sophisticated and the two of them looked in their element.”

Tom Ducker’s father John has told the media however, that Emma Watson and his son are not a romantic couple. John Said:

“They are just friends – don’t read anything more into it than that. My wife and I have met Emma once or twice. She is a lovely young lady.”

Maybe the young Harry Potter star just hasn’t got time for romance as Emma is set to star in a classic children’s tale adaption called Ballet Shoes for the BBC.

Emma will play as an orphan in the 90 minute drama working alongside Richard Griffiths who plays Uncle Vernon in the Harry Potter movies.

Filming starts this month and is expected to hit British screens in time for Christmas.
