I think she's gorgeous.
20? She looks a bit younger than her age (like 17,18)...

Yeah. It's kinda giving me a weird vibe.

Creepy; almost like child porn.

True...
I was thinking the same thing, actually

Yeah. That's a little too mature for me. Maybe it's cuz we all watch her grow-up.

Yeah, shocking. Sometimes I look at her and still see a very little girl.

But they've all grown up. We're all just going to have to get over it. LOL

For example, Daniel Radcliffe

Ruper Grint

and Mr. Felton

Yes, come on, ladies, she's 20! We've seen far far worse from people even younger! I'll agree it's rather sexy, but I don't think it's in bad taste.

Besides, she probably wants people to see her as someone else than little Hermione!

Okay, I have to ask. Were the pictures turned instead into links because ... why? Because I'm not allowed to post the pictures?

Or because they were ... provocative? (Well, Mr. Felton's picture isn't provocative in that he *is* entirely dressed and it's not that he's deliberately being sexy; it's just that he can't help it in that shot. LOL)

Or is it because I'm middle-aged and posted these sexy pictures of men half my age? (Will scream 'ageism' if that's the case. LOL)

Point of posting them, though, was that they're all adults now (and thank goodness for that). And we should stop infantilizing them in our heads.

Gilly_sirl - it's the whole "baby doll" thing that's weirding me out. They could easily have done sexy and sophisticated, instead she looks like jail bait.

It's like they're deliberately trying to send the wrong message.

I'd be ticked if I was Emma.

Correct. We do not allow images to be hotlinked. There's also the little matter of copyright infringement. It has nothing to do with being prudish.

Ok, I understand. I may not perceive it the same way you do.

A.p.k., yes, the pics were removed due to copyright considerations, as Gillian indicated (sorry, I usually send someone a message when I do that sort of thing, but I was in a hurry

).
It was a little jarring to see those, especially, I thought, the one of Rupert! The Daniel shots came out a while ago, so we've had time to get used that, but Rupert?? With a GIRL??
