Pretty much living in the spotlight since his appearance in the Harry Potter films, Robert Pattinson has garnered worldwide appreciation and a very specific fanbase, for his obviously handsome looks. However, despite his charm and envious filmography stretching from the Twilight Saga to Batman movies, Pattinson admitted feeling enchanted and intimidated by one female co-star.

Prior to his tabloid-laden relationship with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson had admitted peacocking around his Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire co-star Emma Watson. Confessing his deep admiration for the actress and her quick wit, Pattinson claimed to be enamored by Watson, despite not sharing a single scene together.
Robert Pattinson was Enchanted and Intimidated by Emma Watson
Recalling his work and experience from the set of Harry Potter that catapulted him to fame, Robert Pattinson shared a not-so-surprising anecdote with fans. Sitting for an interview with Bop magazine (via FanBolt), Pattinson cheekily disclosed his admiration for his co-star Emma Watson.
Known for his role as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Robert Pattinson confessed to being not just enchanted but even intimidated by Emma Watson. Praising her wisdom and intelligence, the Twilight actor further admitted to being captivated by her performance.

She is really, really cool. She seems so much older than she really is. I find her quite intimidating. I always find myself trying to impress her. She’s very, very clever.
So it seems that ahead of his headline-making romance with his co-star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson had his eyes on Emma Watson. Therefore, following Pattinson’s comments about Watson, the duo sparked romantic rumors, which were later debunked by the Beauty and the Beast actress.

[Robert Pattinson] is just a good friend! He’s a super-nice guy, and the girls love him. We’re just friends – but he sure was great to work with. Watson told NY Daily News.
Surprisingly, despite Robert Pattinson and Emma Watson’s mutual respect and appreciation for each other, the duo had never shared screen space together in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Robert Pattinson and Emma Watson Never Shared a Scene in Harry Potter
Although Robert Pattinson and Emma Watson were part of the Harry Potter franchise, their characters never crossed paths onscreen. Pattinson’s Cedric Diggory was a Hufflepuff and a key figure in Goblet of Fire, while Watson’s Hermione Granger was a central character throughout the franchise.
Spending a significant amount of time together on set, Robert Pattinson and Emma Watson had added their fair share of complexity to the Hogwarts storyline. However, Cedric and Hermione could only get as close as group scenes in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, since Pattinson’s character was later killed by Lord Voldemort.
