So in conclusion, Emma is a spoiled brat and therefore cannot ever grounded or down to earth at all. So can people here PLEASE stop putting her on a pedestal because clearly she's not a nice person and what the lainey said proves it beyond any reasonable doubt.

the interviewer unequivocally called emma "A spoiled 19 year old brat". nowhere in the rest of the article does she contradict or deny this. she even says part of the reason she likes emma is because she is a brat. obviously the interviewer liking emma doesn't mean she's not a brat.

Actually I think you'll find it does. If she also describes Emma as being polite, well-mannered etc then it shows she's not a brat ALL THE TIME. It shows she's a brat 'at times'. Now if you're seriously gonna tell me that people are either one thing or t'other, but not a mixture of things then fair enough, that's where our opinions differ.
But I see everyone as capable of being shitty at times, but on the whole most people are decent enough.
You seem (I stress *seem*) to be saying that if a person is capable of bratty behaviour, that makes them a permanant brat and therefore they can't possibly be down to earth or nice at any point. I disagree.
In a democracy people are allowed to disagree. And it's okay. No biggie.

Human beings are more complicated than that surely?

A better question would be, do we really expect perfection from these people 24-7? Do we hold them to a higher standard than the rest of us because they are famous and earn a shit lot of money?

woah there woman, or man, whoever you are, why the hell are you making everything so much more of an issue and complicated than it needs to be?
Where the hell, from what I said, did you get the impression that I have a black and white perception and expect them to be perfect all the time? All I said was that I do believe that Emma is a snotty 19 year old brat and that she's not exactly the little miss perfect that the media tend to portray her as, and quite honestly who is? I don't expect her or any other celebrity to be perfect, that would be delusional, we have our good and bad characteristics. You really just need to stop making it more difficult than it has to be, and allow people to give an opinion and not make judgement on them for something that they stated, it's their opinion, state your own and stop criticising others for not sharing the same view.

I think t-shirts should be made with "Emma Watson is the SHIT!" WB would make loads of money.

Okay. You see where I put the "?" at the end of those sentences? That meant I was asking you. I was trying (and obviously failing) to find out why you thought that because someone said Emma acted bratty, she can therefore be written off as not down to earth etc.
I'm quickly learning that this forum ain't like other forums where people can discuss each other's opinions. Where someone posts something, and unless you agree with them you're supposed to shut the fuck up and not start a debate. It's a baptism of fire.

Emma Watson is TOTALLY the sh-t.

Enough for me

Gawd blimey no. Do you know how many people that would upset? "Emma Watson is a brat" would be a better bet. We've got these t-shirts with "You call me a bitch...like it's a bad thing" on them and loads of girls (and some gay blokes) love the blinkin' things. Turn a negative into a positive, I say.

the interviewer specifically said in her opinion that emma is "A spoiled 19 year old brat". what confuses you about that? NOTHING in the rest of the article contradicts that, in fact, she concludes her article by saying that emma is spoiled and that's something she likes about her otherwise she'd be bland.

the interviewer's opinion = emma is spoiled.

do you disagree?

IF you think everybody acts like that, then fine but that's your opinon and not something in the article. so don't make out i'm being misleading because i don't say i think everybody acts like that.

the interviewer says emma acts like a brat and it doesn't bother her, she even likes it. just because YOU think everybody acts like a brat sometimes doesn't mean that was in the article or that i'm being misleading.

*sigh* Ok look, obviously what I'm trying to say is not getting through to you either. I made a statement that in my opinion, Emma isn't as down to earth and grounded as the majority of the media seem to believe and portay her as, and btw I wasn't even taking the article into account as the article in question didn't say anything bad about Emma, and I didn't even take that 'Emma acted bratty whilst shopping' seriously. This means that I was just trying to tell you that from what I've seen of Emma's personality so far, disregarding anything that the article was saying, yes Emma is a nice person and she's very humble towards her fans and she's well-mannered in interviews, but not so much so that she can be looked upon as someone superior and more in touch with reality than other young female celebrities, which is what the majority of the media always claim.

You are allowed to discuss, there is nothing wrong with that, but what I didn't like about the way that you were 'debating' was how you were judging everything that I said without even trying to understand what it was that I was actually trying to say and just coming to your own conclusion about my overall outlook on Emma. If you'd just asked what it is that I meant by what I said, that would have saved a lot of time, but please don't go off and make judgements on someone when you clearly haven't really understood what the other person was saying.

And breathe.

Yes the article says Emma acted like a brat in Mui Mui. It said many other things that were more favourable too but what piqued my interest was you only quoting the negative bit. Yes I do believe everyone is capable of being bratty at times ...who the bleedin' hell in this world is nice ALL the time? I tried to discuss it but it's descended into an argument because as you've already said, people post things here without any discussion. So fine, let's not discuss any further cos I didn't come here to argue...funnily enough.

I did ask. That's what all the ? were about.
I agree totally that she is not as 'perfect' as elements of the media make out. I was more interested in your opinion. But I apologise for not being clearer. May I go now, miss?

if you don't want to post, then stop posting.

the article didn't have a positive and a negative part, it was all positive, because the interviewer actually liked emma for being a brat.

and the part about you thinking that emma being nice in the interview means she's not genuinely a brat - YOUR OPINION, and you can't blame for me excluding your opinion from the article.

everybody is nice sometimes even the shittiest people.

if you think the interviewer shouldn't have unequivocally called emma a brat then take it up with the interviewer, but she did just that. if you want to tell the interviewer that everybody acts like that, that it's no big deal and ask why she wrote it, ask her.

and lainey didn't say she saw emma acting like a brat once, in the article she says emma is "A spoiled 19 year old brat", that's a comment on her character not one particular incident. if that was the case it would say "i saw emma acting like a spoiled brat".

No offense, but you asked me questions that were irrelevent to the comments that I had made, as neither do I expect perfection from these people and neither do I hold them to a high standard, and I honestly have no idea as to why you would ask me anyway as my posts stated nothing that would insinuate that I do. However unless you live in a cave, you must know that a lot of people in the world do in fact hold these people on a pedestal. And also, the qustions that you asked, they were asked right after you'd already made your innane judgements about my comments. I never asked you to respond so you can go wherever you want, I'm definitely not holding you back.

[SarahWS]

Emma is a brat? Who knows. Though if someone who actually appears to like her is saying she is, I certainly wouldn't bet any of my own money that she wasn't. That's just my opinion.

Also, I wasn't online during the previous discussion between Keester and jphoenix17 about Ron and hope I'm not too late to answer. Re: the parseltongue, people seem to forget that Harry said 'open' to the locket before Ron destroyed it. That was maybe a month earlier - certainly more feasible than 5 years earlier and that whole memory is surely ingrained on Ron's mind. I had lots of issues with Deathly Hallows, but Ron eventually coming up with the relevant hiss after a few tries wasn't one of them. I'm sure that most visitors to this website could say 'hello,' 'goodbye' and 'thank-you' etc in unknown languages if they got the chance to visit a foreign country for the first time. It's not being able to 'speak' or understand a language at all, it's just repeating a couple of sounds phonetically . If a parrot can 'say' hello, Ron can 'say' open.

I also disliked Ron leaving the other Two, mostly because he didn't take me with him - Harry's adventures in the forest was hella-boring ! Remember Ron was wearing the Horcrux at the time of the fight- people seem to forget that. It's a milder version of Ginny's own possession in CoS - I wouldn't blame him for his actions any more than I would blame her - Remember, he wanted to return the minute he'd apparated, and the locket's influence started to fade. However I would blame Harry, who knew that Ron was 'under the influence'. So he was upset - he's supposed to be the hero and a leader, yet instead of walking away until things calmed down, he actually blew up and told him to go - and he had no horcrux round his neck dictating his behaviour ! Hermione said that Ron was being affected by the locket, but he ignored her and let his own emotions dominate instead. Sirius obviously died in vain, because Harry had still learnt nothing about controlling himself and taking advice when he was too emotional to think clearly.

Ron's maturity might seem a bit sudden, though it's conceivable that he'd learn a lot from such a massive chain of events. Harry, however, didn't mature at all. He still followed the doe 'on a hunch' (it could have been a trap), left Hermione sleeping, unaware and unarmed (he took the only wand), and ended the camping chapters by saying 'Voldemort' and getting her tortured! Also, instead of Hermione timidly (since when?) asking Ron to take off the locket, why not stride up, take it off herself and tell them to both shut up? She doesn't hesitate to smack him about when he comes back. Character changes for plot purposes, that's why. The whole thing was badly conceived and should have been cut. The sparse bits of action in amongst the camping could all have happened with the Trio intact and the book would have been tighter. Again, just my opinion.

[jphoenix17]

Yeah this is so off topic that I don't really want to continue (and I have a date in like 30 mins lol) but yeah I like Ron just fine but I really think we should have seen at least glimpses of mature Ron in book 6.

[tanyabay]

i think Emma is a brat from the begging but she won't show it in public like the other 19yr old acteress out there.the only reason Emma don't actup is because she grow up in a different environtment that's all. and some of just need to open up our eyes and see that Emma Watson is not prefect at all i bet a nickel or a dime if anyone of us got to know her the real Emma Watson we will be shock

My bad.I read you wrong in that case.
I just wanted to know why people think a person's bad side makes them a bad person overall. But no, I didn't make that clear so I deserved that kicking.

Dan Talking About Emma's Upskirt

Has it been odd to watch not only yourself, but also Rupert and Emma go from child star to sex symbol?
It's been funny with Emma. Yeah, it's been very strange to watch that suddenly happen, because there was that weird time when she was like 15 or 16, and guys kind of knew they fancied her, but no one could say anything. She's always been a very, very pretty girl, and now suddenly that she turned 18, everyone's like "OK, now she's fair game! Paparazzi!" It is kind of creepy, I did feel bad for her. Men will never know the kind of humiliation of having an upskirt done, which poor old Emma had. We talked a few days after her birthday, and she said, "It was awful, they were all over me. They were trying to shoot up my knickers!" It's incredibly invasive. That's why I do think it's much, much harder for girls being famous than it is for guys.

I agree with Daniel, it must be much harder for women in the industry.
The rest of the interview is at the link. It's a very good interview!

If some strange bloke walked up to you on the street and took a picture up your dress or skirt he'd get nicked for it and probably put on the sex offenders register, but the papz get away with it for some reason.

While the law doesn't potect them against that kind of intrusion, these women celebs have gotta be more careful about what they wear and how they get in and out of transport.

Dan's right though. With a bloke the media will talk about superficial things. With women there's a helluva lot of attention on their bodies. We just had Wimbledon week before last and the only interest in the women was how they looked.

[keywriter]

"But the difference between Emma Watson and Miley Cyrus/Lindsay Lohan/Vanessa Hudgens is that she’s too well mannered to let it out. Emma Watson stayed in the game. She was present. No exasperated sighs, no eye rolling, no curt responses, no darting her focus around, no fidgeting from boredom. Instead she went into detail about Hermione and Ron, she gave a great answer about the Deathly Hallows, and when I turned the conversation to fashion she totally lit up." from Lainey Gossip

She has improved a LOT with the junkets since being a cute, somewhat precious, obviously sleep-deprived little girl. Here is a clip of little Emma doing the NYC junket for SS/PS from the end of the day of junket interviews. She looks exhausted, and is ironically exactly what Lainey is talking about with the other stars, playing with her chapstick, heavy sighs, eye rolls, sounds exasperated at times; except she's 11! She's really grown and matured and it shows so much in how she handles the stress of promotion.

I can't even be bothered to read that argument about the Lainey article properly - it looks so pointless. Emma is human and therefore will have many aspects to her personality. Acting a bit brattish does not make her a bad person.

I think that's the point I was trying to make but it came out all wrong and I went off at mrmaster and cathy when I should've handled it better.
So yeah, blame me for that silly 'argument', not them.

I agree. And to be honest,give any 19 year old girl the level of fame,riches,etc that Emma has,and they would most likely get rather spoiled-bratty at times,especially while spending said riches on designer gear,I imagine,so I'd be amazed if Emma actually WAS as grounded and down-to-earth at all times as the media make her out to be-who would be,in her situation?

I thought it was quite a good article,actually,particularly the bit about how Emma handles the junkets these days.

I thought it was a good article too. Lainey is obsessed with Emma - it's quite scary. I'd like to see the junket interview she did with her to see if you can see the adoration on Lainey's face or whether she manages to appear normal.

[jopley]

People are just tired of the negativity. Instead of posting the entire article they posted only the negative. But whatever. Lainey clearly likes Emma.

Ok, all this argument on an article from Lainey Gossip? like seriously? Just a hint, this Lainey thing isn't worth your long essays, she is a shit blogger who tries too hard to look cool & stuff, while in fact she's just a famewhore who is dying to be the female Perez Hilton. Anyone who takes a word from her seriously should go get a mental check, mmkay? & whoever isn't convinced, ask any Twilight fan about the fuckery she used to write when the cast was in Vancouver filming New Moon.
Chill people, find a new hobby, read a book, or whatever, but don't argue over lainey, it hurts my feelings

Also, SarahWS: *applauds* I like you, I really really do, I also like Keetster, but she already knows that xD.

sorry, but i have to argue because i'm fed up of people taking all the nice comments in and getting defensive about any negative ones. one poster said we're fed up with the negativity... i really don't think this forum is consumed by negativity. i agree about lainey though.

[Jules.]

It's ok, I wasn't exactly talking about you, but you get the point xD

Hermione's most popular. Dan's so cool about it.

Hermione casts biggest spell on 'Potter' fans

[hermaria]

Emma Watson, the 19-year-old who plays the schoolgirl, was the actor fans believe will have the best career -- possibly as a sex symbol -- once the eight "Potter" movies have ended.

LMAO. Wut?? her career will be based on her looks and not on her talent? Oh snap.
