I can't believe all the comments on that site with people freaking out and flaming each other! Uh...it's a picture of a 15 year old who may, or may not, be taking a swig of beer. So what?!
Personally, I think the picture's posed. She looks like she's messing around with it. I'm just glad no one ever posted a pic of my five year old cousin with his dad's cigarette* in one hand and a glass of whisky in the other. He was pretending but can you imagine the flames over that one?!
*This was about 25 years ago when few people were listening to the warnings about cigarettes.
Anyway, I think she's pretty, and I hope they stick with the same kids for the rest of the films.

Is that photo even real? Something about the wrist looks off.
Pretty girl, but what was she doing in GoF (aside from hanging onto Daniel Radcliffe far more than what was scripted)? She said all of her lines as if she were on the verge of tears. As unHermione as the character was written, I liked her performance in PoA and her overacting the next time around was a major distraction.

I hear on her GoF performance. She did well with all the yule ball stuff, but she developed a habit of punctuating every. Single. Word. By raising her eyebrows. It was strange because in PoA I thought she was the strongest actor of the main three, but in GoF I thought DR and RG had improved by leaps and bounds and she had somehow regressed into acting only with her eyebrows.

I feel oddly protective of her because of all the crazy fan hate directed at her from teenies who can't stand that she gets to be within fifteen feet of Daniel Radcliffe. Some of the stories I heard about on the old site's "Jus' Jellus!" thread, or on Fandom Wank, frighten me; I've also visited messageboards just to witness the insanity and woah.

Whoa, she gets it too? I just remember when people were saying horrible, racist things about the girl who played Cho Chang - but she is actually a love interest for Harry, Hermione isn't - not that you could convince the other half of the crazies of that fact. They were the ones wailing about J. K. Rowling's "betrayal" in the last book when Harry hooked up with Ginny and it looked like Ron/Hermione - which had been set up since day one - was finally going to happen. Fandom can be a truly scary place. I'm sure Jen Garner still constantly looks over her shoulder.

I think Emma really flourished under Cuaron's direction but faltered badly with Newell. I never noticed much eyebrow acting in the first two movies, so I'm wondering if it was some new acting trick she learned by watching soap operas or something. The editing in GoF was choppy, but it didn't seem to make anybody else's performance noticeably worse. Oh, yeah, everything about Emma has been hated somewhere online since roughly CoS onward: her hair, her accent, her background (she and DR both get this), her personal sense of style and its supposed influence on the way Hermione dresses, her closeness with Dan (screws up the R/Hr movie chemistry, as well as the "No fair, he's supposed to look at *me* like that!" factor from fangirls), that the media pays her far more attention than Rupert, etc. The "I Hate Brenda/Jen" effect on steroids, more or less.

From everything I've read about fandom, I don't think I'd ever want to be famous.
Topic? Pretty girl. Hope she doesn't grow up in the traditional "child star" tradition (see Lohan, Lindsay).

Here is a fine, freakin' insane example of the level of discourse around Emma Watson in the HP fandom. As lallybroch noted, Emma's been the object of hate for some time by teenies who will invent all sorts of reasons why to wish, as the above petitioner does, death to Emma.

Poor Emma has quite a few haters in the HP fandom. They call her Emma "Twatson", a wh0re, s lut, tramp, trash, famewhore, skank, tart, stuck-up, snotty, they insult her fashion sense at every oppurtunity, etc. There's at least one anti-Emma website out there called boobless. Of course, they never actually give any reasons for why they feel this way about her. ITA about never wanting to be famous.

Ugh, that's just awful. You'd think these people would take a hint and realize that they're acting JUST LIKE the people did in GOF (the book) who harassed Hermione because they thought she dumped Harry for Krum.
