Thanks again to McGonagal's Hot Pants for this amazing email! It really made my day!
She comes from exactly the same mould as every other flouncing, preening little bubblehead that�s ever had their mother coo and gasp in awe of their (nonexistent) acting ability at the age of six, and fill them up with false praise in the mistaken belief that it�ll make them a better actor.
However, her colleagues are brilliant actors � look at the evidence. Tom Felton has been in excellent films since a very early age, Rupert Grint never fails to make audiences crack up, weep or, in some cases, vomit in sympathy, and Daniel Radcliffe has been applauded by many reviewers, �slipping on the role of Harry with the ease and grace of wearing a favourite coat like a second skin� and �could become one of the great British actors of our time.� Amongst these jewels of young actors, who will doubtlessly go on to great things, Emma is a dud.
Her acting is stilted and emotionless, and, over the course of just two films, she has mercilessly slaughtered one of the greatest female characters in children�s literature. Not content with this, however, she takes every opportunity to put Hermione down to further her own self-image, which, let�s face it, has gone past the point of no return where stupidity is concerned. If Emma was an intelligent, likeable young woman who took pride in her work and had a sense of style about her, she might be taken seriously as an actress and as a role model for young women. As it is, she is nothing more than a brainless twit who has done her best to alienate every one of her fans.
To quote a snippet from your site:
15. She never writes to fans, she doesn�t even have an official site; she calls her fans �creepy� and makes fun of the gifts they send her in interviews.
That is incredibly callous. I trip across many Harry Potter-related websites, and nearly all have sent birthday gifts to most cast members � almost all, that is, apart from Emma. Small wonder, when she slags off the generosity of her fans so much. I can�t understand how she can be so rude when the rest of the teenagers she works with are always so grateful for their gifts. Example:
On Daniel�s birthday, www.danradcliffe.com and www.danradcliffe.co.uk sent him a scrapbook compiled of messages, mementoes and gifts from his fans and users of those sites around the globe. He has subsequently mentioned the scrapbook several times in interviews, sent personal messages of thanks to both websites and has granted several exclusives to them. This Christmas, he�s even answering questions sent from his fans via the sites, as a Christmas present to them and as a gesture of thanks for their support. He has also asked for his fans to donate money to charity instead of giving him birthday and Christmas presents, so that others can benefit from their goodwill. He has his feet firmly on the ground, and has always said that he�s lucky to be in the position he is in.
Could any of the above be attributed to Emma Watson? Could it hell. All she has ever done is spit on the generosity of the people who like her. The day will soon come when all her fans have been driven away by her rudeness, and then she will probably whinge and whine and insult them some more.
Another bone of contention is Emma�s dress sense. I�m not sure if anyone outside the UK knows this, but Britain has had a huge problem with paedophiles in the past few years, with many young girls being abducted, raped and murdered, and even more cases of child porn being strewn all over the internet. I�m not suggesting that Emma is the cause of all this, but she is hardly a good role model for the little girls who will want to see the Harry Potter films. Isn�t she the kind of girl that perverts will gravitate towards? A simpering child-woman trying to be older than she really is, a little girl dressing up in evening gowns and fur stoles, layering on the makeup while wearing pigtails and giggling over her cuddly toys? Child stars are always at risk from the sickos of the world, but Emma is hardly helping her situation by dressing like a hooker one moment and a schoolgirl the next. Most of the time she doesn�t even look good in the clothes she wears. If she was an adult turning up to premieres like she does, then the gossip columnists would have a field day, tearing up the horrible concoctions she wears, but because she�s in no way important or interesting they just ignore her. Maybe she should be grateful for being nothing more than a sluttish C-list upstart.
And now we arrive at the bra-stuffing. Hohoho, don�t even get me started on this. I know it�s normal for girls to experience changes in body shape during puberty, but this takes the biscuit � going from porn-star breasts to looking like a pigeon-chested boy and back again in the space of a month must set some sort of record. It�s hard enough for teenage girls, being bombarded with the �ideal� image of a couple of melons stuck on a stick-thin body, without another teenager in the spotlight cramming Kleenex into her bra in a desperate attempt to conform.
Finally, just in case all of the closet Emma-haters out there think they�re all alone in their opinions � they are definitely not. I can speak with some authority on that, as I�m thirteen years old and go to a girls� school, and I can certainly say that many of the pupils I know couldn�t care less about Emma, even more hate her, but none think that the sun shines out of her arse, as she herself does. And, just in case anyone thinks all those who don�t like Emma are teenage girls, jealous of her success, I have evidence to the contrary.
One day I and the rest of my class were allowed to leave the classroom during an English lesson. We were searching for pictures on Google of people that could were suited to people from a Midsummer Night�s Dream so we could make posters �advertising� the play and summing up the characters in it. A girl on the computer next to mine was having trouble finding someone who could be the simpering, featherbrained Daddy�s girl, Bianca, and asked a teacher for help. �I know who could be Bianca!� the teacher replied, �who�s that awful girl who plays Hermione from Harry Potter? Yes, that one, the one that always poses shamelessly for the camera and looks like a lemon. She comes across as quite a melodramatic little brat, doesn�t she?� A group of teachers chatting on the far side of the room heard the conversation and came over to agree; �Oh, she�s irritating, isn�t she?� �No, not at all a nice girl.� �She�s exactly like Bianca, and nobody likes her,� and so on, while the rest of us cheerfully downloaded a few pictures of her to stick on the posters, and a few more to deface when we got bored. Five grown adults with teaching degrees, PhDs and God-knows-what-other accolades can�t all be wrong when they agree with millions of other people worldwide, hmm?

"I thought magic was a white rabbit and a black hat. I'm not superstitious, and I only read the horoscopes for fun."
"Shoving around paper on a desk isn't really my thing." (Her point-of-view on being a lawyer) Oh, so THAT�S what lawyers do! I never knew that!!!"
"It's really, really weird to see myself.. umm.. as an action figure. You know, in 2 months, toddlers will be chewing my head off, you know." *wish that would really happen,o,well.*
"I've been a real tourist. I think I've been to every department store, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, everything!"

Aww,poor wittle emma!
"Now that I've played the snotty, bossy, posh Hermione Granger, I'd like to play some American high school girl. I want to play something totally different. I want to play every kind of character and every point of view, but I'm probably going to be playing Hermione for a while."
If only someone else would employ her�oh well, no loss there really.
