Sometimes the unfortunate part of being a Hollywood star is having to deal with creepy stalkers, and Emma Watson has come in contact with her first one.

"Harry Potter" star Emma Watson has been left terrified by a stalker.

The 16-year-old actress, who plays Hermione Granger in the hit films, was left petrified when the man confronted her after turning up at her school.

Police were immediately called and Emma - who is studying to go to university - was given a bodyguard until officers had taken away the

stalker.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The man was an over-zealous admirer, and when he found out there were open lectures at Emma's school, he attended them.

"Emma was very alarmed when he approached her and started talking to her about the 'Harry Potter' films."

Though police warned the man, who is in his 20s, there have been other incidents since.

A friend of Emma's said: "Although her safety is her priority, she will try not to let this affect her normal life."
