Harry Potter star Emma Watson has admitted that she was not surprised by former co-star Robert Pattinson's success with vampire romance Twilight.

The actress, who plays Hermione Granger in the wizard franchise, appeared alongside Pattinson (Cedric Diggory) in 2005's Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.

Speaking to MTV Movies, she said: "Of course [I knew he'd be successful]. He is incredibly handsome - he is a very, very handsome man, so I'm not too surprised.

"I'm just gob-smacked by the level of excitement and hype around Twilight. I'm very happy for Rob that it's been so successful."

However, the 19-year-old admitted that she does "not know much" about the movie, confessing: "I haven’t seen the film."
