Harry Potter star Emma Watson can't get a boyfriend.

The 16-year-old actress, who plays Hermione Granger in the hit wizard films, insists her fame is getting in the way of dating and admits all the men she is attracted to are all too old for her.

Emma is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "People say to me, 'Oh it must be so easy for you - dating and boys. They must be lining up for you.'

"It's really not easy. It's really not. I suppose guys are either kind of intimidated by me and have their defences up, or the like to take the p**s out of me. And I'm surrounded by cute older guys on set. That's my problem.

"I think, 'Yeah, he's good looking' but he's like 25! So that's not happening.

"It's a minefield, to be honest. It's stressful. I'll just have to wait. Maybe someone will find me."

In the films, Emma stars as Harry, portrayed by actor Daniel Radcliffe, and Ron Weasley's friend Hermione.

Although in the movies, Ron, played by Rupert Grint, is developing a crush on Hermione, Emma insists she has no romantic feelings for her co-stars.

She said: "They just keep me laughing really. They feel like my brothers."
