February 17, 2008 - Romance Report: Hermione and the Rocker?

Somewhere, steam is pouring out of Ron Weasley’s ears. On Monday night in London, Emma Watson, 17, who plays smart and sensible Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” flicks, mixed and mingled at a Vanity Fair party with Johnny Borrell, 27, the Razorlight front man best known for his romance last year with the reportedly rehabbing Kirsten Dunst. “She seemed really happy,” a source tells the London Sun of the starlet (this, despite the fact that the rocker was kitted out in Mr. Rogers’ favorite cardigan). “She’s a Razorlight fan and was starstruck.” And while People says Watson was shooting Borrell “adoring” looks, it appears things never got beyond the fangirl stage. “They were hanging out,” a pal downplays to the mag. “Emma has had a boyfriend [rugby player Tom Duckworth] for years.” The two reportedly went their separate ways before the end of the night, with the musician later spotted whooping it up at the tony Dorchester Hotel. “She has never met him before,” assures the insider. “She has not spoken to him since and will likely not speak to him again.”

Emma Watson steps out with Razorlight frontman

Harry Potter star Emma Watson raised eyebrows when she stepped out with Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell at a London fashion party earlier this week. And the pair got on so well, they attended two more events together.

Emma’s lawyer parents aren’t going to be happy about their 17-year-old daughter pairing up with the hell-raising rocker, who’s almost 10 years her senior - but they needn’t worry - the pair parted company by the early hours of yesterday, by which time Johhny - famous for the album ‘Up All Night’, was seen stumbling solo around the Dorchester Hotel.

The actress and the rock star began the evening at the Vanity Fair and Burberry Portraits party at the National Gallery.

A fellow guest said: “Emma had gone over to speak to Pixie Geldof, who was chatting to Johnny at the time – and Emma and Johnny immediately hit it off.

“It was clear they had loads to talk about – even if they don’t look like they have much in common.”

The pair shared a taxi to another fashion party, thrown by designers PPQ at the Dolce nightclub. From there, they are believed to have gone on to a private event at London’s Dorchester.

Emma and Johnny turned out at the Vanity Fair party along with a host of stars, including Lily Allen, Pixie Geldof, Twiggy, Bryan Ferry and Will Young to celebrate the launch of an exhibition of photographic portraits which have appeared in the US magazine Vanity Fair over the course of nearly 100 years.

Pixie Geldof, 17, the daughter of Bob Geldof, mixed with singer and chat show host Lily Allen, 22, and daughter of actor and hardman Keith Allen, who in turn chatted with Kate Sumner, 25, the daughter of Sting.

The party was thrown by Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair’s flamboyant editor, who flew over from the US to host the event.

Harry Potter Star Emma Watson Stepped Out with Razorlight Notorious Rocker Johnny Borrell

Emma Watson raised not only eyebrows but also concern when she was seen stepping out with notorious rocker Johnny Borrell at a London fashion party earlier this week.

The “Harry Potter” star reportedly met the Razorlight frontman at a London fashion party and both of them got on so well that they went on together to two further events.

Emma, who’s seen in flesh-colored halter neck dress and killer heels, and Borrell began the evening at the Vanity Fair and Burberry Portraits party at the National Portrait Gallery in London England on Monday, February 11, the Daily Mail reported while at the same time quoted a source as saying, “Emma had gone over to speak to Pixie Geldof, who was chatting to Johnny at the time - and Emma and Johnny immediately hit it off. It was clear they had loads to talk about - even if they don’t look like they have much in common.”

Soon thereafter the twosome shared a cab to another fashion party, thrown by designers PPQ at the Dolce nightclub, after which they were believed to have gone on to a private event at the Dorchester.

By 2.30 A.M. Borrell and and a mystery female companion were seen leaving the party and there was no sign that Emma was in tow.

Emma, who was wearing a flesh coloured tight strapless minidress and four-inch black heels, seemed determined to show how she is maturing into a beautiful young woman.

One partygoer said: “Emma looked stunning, but she couldn’t have looked more different to her ‘Harry Potter’ character if she had tried!”

Emma’s rocker date?

Emma Watson sparked rumours she is dating Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell after they were seen together at a party.

The Harry Potter actress - who is just 17 years old - posed for pictures with the 27-year-old rocker at the Vanity Fair and Burberry Portraits party at London’s National Portrait Gallery.

A source told the Daily Express: “She and Johnny were posing for the cameras as a couple, there was no question about that. They arrived together and left together.”

But though the pair shared a taxi after leaving the party at 9pm, Johnny was then reportedly pictured leaving The Dorchester Hotel at 2am, sharing a taxi with a mystery brunette, according to London Lite.

A witness said: “It had been a hard night of partying. They both looked very the worse for wear.”

Hell-raiser Johnny split from girlfriend Kirsten Dunst last year and she checked into rehab earlier this month.

He said of their relationship: “She believes in equality, that a bloke should chip in with the housework, but I’m messy. She couldn’t stand the smell of stale fags, beer and kebabs in her nice living room.”

Emma split from rugby player Tom Ducker, 17, last November after three months together.

What would Harry say? ‘Hermione’ hits the town with bad boy rocker Johnny Borrell

As Harry Potter’s sidekick Hermione Granger, she has little problem defending herself from the most wily of wizards.

But actress Emma Watson appeared to fall under the spell of hell-raising rock singer Johnny Borrell when she met him at a London fashion party.

The 17-year-old schoolgirl, in flesh-coloured halter neck dress and killer heels, was soon chatting with the star of the group Razorlight.

And they got on so well that they went on together to two further events.

Miss Watson’s lawyer parents are unlikely to be thrilled at the unlikely pairing.

But the good news for them is that Emma and 27-year-old Borrell had parted company by the early hours of yesterday, by which time he was seen stumbling solo around the Dorchester Hotel.

The actress and the rock star began the evening at the Vanity Fair and Burberry Portraits party at the National Gallery.

A fellow guest said: “Emma had gone over to speak to Pixie Geldof, who was chatting to Johnny at the time – and Emma and Johnny immediately hit it off.

“It was clear they had loads to talk about – even if they don’t look like they have much in common.”

The couple shared a cab to another fashion party, thrown by designers PPQ at the Dolce nightclub. From there, they are believed to have gone on to a private event at the Dorchester.

But there was no sign of Miss Watson by 2.30am, by which time Borrell and another female friend were being shown the door for their over-exuberant behaviour.

Miss Watson, who is said to havemade a £10million fortune from the Potter film series, gained ten top-grade GCSEs and hopes to study philosophy at Cambridge.

But in recent months she has been keen to distance herself from her goody-two-shoes image.

She has been signed up by the model agency Storm and, since becoming a face of Chanel, has stepped out in a series of increasingly glamorous outfits.

London-born Borrell was blamed for leading the U.S. actress Kirsten Dunst astray when they dated for several months last year.

On one of their nights out, the 24-year-old star looked immaculate on the red carpet at the premiere of Spider-Man 3 – then was reduced to a giggling, stumbling wreck within hours after sinking numerous cocktails with Borrell.

She was recently admitted to rehab, apparently still struggling to come to terms with the end of their relationship.

Judging by Borrell’s perfomance last night, Watson could have her hands full with the hell-raising rock star.

Emma and Johnny turned out at the Vanity Fair party along with a host of stars, including Lily Allen, Pixie Geldof, Twiggy, Bryan Ferry and Will Young to celebrate the launch of an exhibition of photographic portraits which have appeared in the US magazine Vanity Fair over the course of nearly 100 years.

Borrell’s ex-girlfriend Camilla Fayed was also at the event.

Pixie Geldof, 17, the daughter of Bob Geldof, mixed with singer and chat show host Lily Allen, 22, and daughter of actor and hardman Keith Allen, who in turn chatted with Kate Sumner, 25, the daughter of Sting.

Sons of the famous were also there. Otis Ferry, 25, Master of Foxhounds and son of pop singer Bryan Ferry, was also in attendance.

He even brought along his father who at 62 was - how should one put this - one of the older faces in the crowd.

The party was thrown by Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair’s flamboyant editor, who flew over from the US to host the event.

Emma Watson & Rocker Johnny Borrell: Just Hanging Out

Those Harry Potter kids sure are all grown up now: Emma Watson – aka goody-two-shoes Hermione Granger – spotted partying with Kirsten Dunst’s ex (and Razorlight frontman) Johnny Borrell?

“They were hanging out. Emma has had a boyfriend [rugby player Tom Duckworth] for years,” a friend tells PEOPLE, pouring cold water on any romance talk.

Watson, 17, and Borrell, 27, first hung out Monday at the Burberry/Vanity Fair portrait exhibition at London’s National Portrait Gallery, where Borrell pointed out photographs of DH Lawrence (which he later told PEOPLE was his favorite) and Aldous Huxley to an adoring looking Watson.

“She was probably just a bit star struck,” says the friend of the adoring looks. “She’s usually chaperoned to these kinds of events by her father.”

The pair – who were also joined by a female friend of Watson’s – then headed on to a party across town for London fashion label PPQ. Borrell and Watson left the PPQ bash separately – the rocker with another girl.

Still, another source says that this Watson-Borrell encounter was a one-time thing. “She has never met him before,” the source says. “She has not spoken to him since and will likely not speak to him again. ”

The insider explains that the couple were photographed together for a simple reason: there were not enough cars to take Watson from one party to another, so she and Borrell opted to share one.

Are Emma Watson and Johnny Borrell dating?

Razorlight’s Johnny Borrell wilted Harry Potter’s magic wand by working his seductive sorcery on Emma Watson.

Borrell, 27, did not know the 17-year-old played Hermione in the films when he met her at the Vanity Fair party.

It was only when fans called her name as they left London’s National Portrait Gallery, that Kirsten Dunst’s ex realised he’d wooed another actress.

Our man on a broomstick said: “They were very taken by each other.”

The fire isn’t only around Johnny’s loins, it will also be on his brother Willy’s album.

He is making a CD of songs recorded by Camden’s finest, including Mr B and Amy Winehouse, for the Hawley Arms, which was destroyed by a blaze on Saturday.
