If these pictures are real, they look like they were taken before she was in Harry Potter. If they were taken after and they're genuine then that brings into question the matter of privacy. David Heyman said they were trying to make sure the kids lives stayed private, yet this seems a bit odd that someone took pictures of her at school and then put them up on a website. Unless, of course, they're for school reasons, like a newsletter or a display, which is what the second one sort of looks like.

^ I agree Emma. I think they were, if real, before Harry Potter.

Our school has taken pictures like that for the school prospectus, newsletter etc.

i think it is her, but as you said they aren't clear

i'm sure its emma, before she was in Harry Potter though.
i bet she never knew that she'll be Hermione in the future...lol

Yeah it had to be in at least 6th grade or something and that girl does look like her.

I think they're fake

she does look a lot younger than she did in P/S.

there was a picture a few months back the was supose to be Emma in school.

regardless of when or whare it was it is still a beeach of her privisy which is unfair on Emma and Her friends.

I don't really think it's her. Do you supposed that the teachers would let them take photos during lessons?

I think the 2nd picture is definately her, but she looks about 9! It looks years old.

It does look like her. But a younger photo maybe after CoS but before PoA. Looks like she is about 12. They say she switched schools. Maybe this is why? Maybe her former school didn't offer her enough security or privacy or something.

Great photos though, looks like she's in Gym class and Shop class, just trying to be a normal kid. Bet it's hard though trying to be like a normal teen when your a huge star and everyone knows who you are.

Emma's Great :flowersmile:

it's hard to tell really.............the one on the right looks to be her......but then there are lots of girls that look somewhat alike.......and the pic wasn't exactly taken really close.......

in any event she looks really young..........about 11 or 12 at the least.

She does look really young, but I'm pretty sure its her. The person who took the pictures should really respect her privacy though....

i agree tabitoo i think the first one is btween cos and poa bcuz if u compare the first picture to a picture at the cast annoucement she looks older in the first picture

[B][FONT=Courier][SIZE=7][COLOR=blue] ehehe.. i say she really is cute!!! hu wud u want to play cho?? boa or leung??? i choose myself!!! lolz... :monkey: :wacko:

You know, I think it's her, in www.emma-watson.net they have the second pictures plus another one where she looks older. yup I think that's her. it's not her right now in July 2004 but yup I think it's her

The second one looks like her, but you can't really tell on the first one.

I don't think the second one looks like her at all 0_0 plus her hair is dark there, so they must have taken it while filming CoS/PoA if it is her because they died her hair dark in those films. Her natural hair colour is light brown.

So either they're very old and taken for yearbook/prospectus purposes, or it's not her.

I don't really think this has to do with a privacy issue

I think those pics were taken when she was like 12 during the break between cos and poa maybe??, and I agree with some of you in the fact that it might have been taken for a yearbook cause in my school for example we take pictures even during classes to post in the website that every class at my school has

I personally do not think they are real! It looks as if someone put her head on someone else's body. Otherwise, they'd get into so much trouble, the people at WB, 'cause the people who are completely obsessed with her ie, Old men, would be able to get to her, perhaps, easier than anyone might think.

Is not here,, and if that was true this are very old pics! :ermsmile:

I think they're her. Come on, can she really expect privacy? She's a huge star, I mean who cares if people are taking pictures of her, she was looking at he camera and SMILING in the second one, obviously she knew. That's if they're even after the HP movies. Atleast people aren't like trampling her for autographs or something.

Yeah, they're really too blurry to call, but I'd say the girl-whoever she is-does look cute.

I certanly looks like her. I mean no one can be truly sure that is.
