OMG, It’s Emma Watson!
Posted by The Voice Staff on September 25, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Everyone at the Harvard-Brown football game was there for one reason, and one reason only: to see Emma Watson. However, sightings were rare and Harvardians openly speculated that she wasn’t actually in attendance. We would like to set the record straight. She was there, we saw her, we photographed, and here’s the proof. Take that!
Emma, we love you!
Note from the Editor: There seems to be much ado about nothing over this photo and liveblog. Understand that these live tweets were made to be intentionally outrageous and overblown. As for the photo, it was taken on happenstance — one of our photographers happened to leave the game at the same time as Emma and snapped a quick photo. (September 27, 1:47AM)

The watermark is a nice compliment to how sensationalist and sad this post is
[...] Emma Watson photo, right hurrrr. VICTORY! Stalking success. Football success. Overall great [...]
@What: Ah, but sensationalism was the point, my dear Watson!
The least you guys could have done was to have a decent camera for the picture to come out right and not blurred!
zomg. props noice babies. that’s fucking hilariously sketch!
Emma! OMG, that’s great. I really like her, too….
“these live tweets were made to be intentionally outrageous and overblown” – so what? You’re still invading her space. She’s had enough press, and I’m sure she didn’t go to Brown so blogs would post more photos of her trying to be a normal girl. Chill out and just let her be a college student.
Here’s more of the fallout from The Harvard Voice’s conduct:

There is a locatable cause of Watson’s experience at Harvard Stadium and a blameworthy party. However, I doubt we’ll get an apology from The Harvard Voice.
On Friday, September 25, The Voice published this on its Noice blog: “We will be Live-Tweetin’ the game and possibly stalking Emma Watson, so keep your eyes peeled for that, too!”
The stalkers then gave a running account of that pursuit on The Voice’s Twitter account, excerpted here:
“cops chasing two kids thru the brown section … In enemy territory. Lookin for a certain witch. … WATSON FOUND. i repeat WATSON FOUND. … VICTORY! Stalking success.”
The stalkers were Harvard students. (Watson has been at Brown for nearly a month in comparative peace, without incident and without so much as a TwitPic from her fellow students.)
Anybody can do anything unfeelingly to anybody in this day and age, especially if they feel imbued with entitlement from membership in Harvard College.
As I say, we won’t get an apology from The Voice.
I personally think this is an epic and worthy piece of journalism which any college publication like Noice should have and would have covered. Invasion of personal space it is not. It’s a parody and it’s also deliberately amusing.
Even if it was purposefully overboard…it was still wrong. Emma is a person and does not deserve to be treated like a piece of meat or the butt of some lame joke.

There must be some celebuspawns or independently famous students at Harvard that would be more convenient to stalk. Grow up.
Wow. What a bunch of d-bags. Leave her alone. I hope everyone behind her stalking is labeled a jack*ss well into their post-collegiate careers.
you guys are freaking stalkers, just leave her alone, i thougt people your age were more mature, i’m in high school and i’m more mature than that..

You Harvard kids are a bunch of wankers, get a life and grow up, you are in university aren’t you?
Why can’t you leave her alone? If you were in her position, you would have had a bad afternoon because of some infantile retards.
Really, what you should have learned in your life is to be empathetic and nice to others.
You’re completely right Me : “it was still wrong. Emma is a person and does not deserve to be treated like a piece of meat or the butt of some lame joke.
Wow u harvard students r such retards! I’m 13 and I’m more mature than that! I was under the impression that kids who went to harvard were smart and not a bunch of dumb a*ses who ruin emmas day out, the article said she was shaken, good going guys!

People “stalk” people from opposing colleges and play pranks on each other all the time. If it was not a celebrity in the situation, nobody would consider it morally wrong IF the prank was tasteful and the subject found it amusing.
If nothing bad happened and if Emma was not offended, then this is all just a bunch of tabloids trying to create an elephant out of a fly. And to me, this looks like a fly.
No wonder celebrities no longer go to such a classless school as Harvard. GO BROWN!
