Default Emma Watson turns on Oxford Christmas Lights - pictures

We earlier reported that Emma Watson -- Hermione Granger -- would be turning on the Christmas lights in Oxford.

That happened yesterday evening at 6PM. CBBC Newsround has coverage of the event here.

Quote:
Emma said she was thrilled to have taken part in switching on of the lights.

"I have wanted to do it ever since I was very young and I saw the Spice Girls do it.

"I love Oxford Street. I have come here most Christmases because I love the lights and all the beautiful displays in all the shops, " Emma added.
Images from the event can be seen at WireImage and Film Magic.

Source: The Leaky Cauldron.

UPDATE: Mugglenet now also have some pictures sent in by a fan, Elaine. Here is the clearest picture, the rest can be seen here

Emma-Watson.net has a report from the event which can be read here There are also photos on that page taken by the webmaster.

Quote:
I stood with 2 girls who were huge Emma fans, who had previously been very lucky when Emma had given them spare tickets she had to go inside the Prisoner of Azkaban premiere in London.
Quote:
The Presenter (Jono) asked her what she wanted for Christmas, Emma took a long thought before deciding “I’d love a Candy floss making machine!”
Quote:
The presenter then gave her a kiss and blushed with a smile saying “My Christmas came early this year- I just kissed Hermione!”
Quote:
The 2 girls I was with called up to Emma, Emma looked down to where we were standing and smiled the girls shouted at her “Do you remember us? You gave us tickets to the Premiere?” Emma started bouncing up & down with excitement “YES” she mouthed with a huge smile before giving a huge wave & a thumbs up to them.
Quote:
Emma was asked if she would like to see the Olympics come to Great Britain in 2012 ..Emma said “Yes Definitely I am a huge fan of sport”.
A gallery of photos from the event can be seen here with the following picture taken before the event:



Isifa has some pictures and a negative report from the event:

Quote:
Actress Emma Watson who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies is seen here glum faced after switching on the Oxford Street Christmas Lights from the Selfridges department store, London. Watson initally declined to sign autographs for Harry Potter fans Caity Mayall (18) and Jaqueline McGarrett (19) who commented to photographers that they thought Watson was "disappointing and stuck-up".
Comment from local employee:

Quote:
I am an employee of Selfridges (Oxford Street store which hosted the event) and had backstage access to this event and I must say Emma looked strangely uncomfortable before she went on stage. However the moment she walked up to the podium she was booming with confidence. No photos I'm afraid... wouldnt have been appropriate

I think she looks her age which is refreshing cause girls spend so much time trying to be older than they are these days. I'll update the thread with more pictures as and when they become avaliable.

I was at the Premiere and stood next to those two girls who got tickets! They weren't even excited when she gave them to them!!

Being the sad person that I am, I cried, whimpered and had an urge to snatch them off them but I resisted. David Heyman saw me and felt guilty afterward, I could tell by the look on his face lol.

I just couldn't believe my unluck. lol

I've updated with reports, more links to images and one negative report.

I never know what to make of Emma. I saw her at the premiere, one minute she was the nice, the next she was all eye-rolling and scowling. Now with two contrasting reports I'm more confused about her than ever. I really wish I could meet her to figure out what she's like for myself.

Smart girl.

I feel the same way. In some interviews or articles... she comes off a bit like a brat, and then I read others where she seems very down to earth and sweet.

She's a good actress, and I like her style, but I'm pretty much neutral in my opinion of her.

I feel much the same. I think she's a good actress with potential just not as Hermione - although that's down to a poor script and costume choices.

But I also read once on EW.net that she said she hated dark brown hair so dyed it with blonde streaks in between doing CoS & PoA and got into trouble for it. I'm sorry but duh...of course she was going to get into trouble for it when filming is so tightly packed and Hermione is so not supposed to be blonde. lol

those are excellent pics!! Emma looks very pretty--and she looks her age, which is great. i've always liked Emma, I think she's a cool, nice, down to earth girl. i hear reports about people saying she snobby, but then people could be just taking her the wrong way...i mean she's under pressure going through all this press stuff, and she is a teenage girl...does she have to be happy go lucky every minute?? she deserves a break. and most of the reports i hear are positive, and nice. Emma is a great actress and I love the way she plays Hermione!! perfect...and its not her fault the way the script is written or the costumes.

i dont blame her for not wanting dark brown hair...lol, my hair is like dirty blonde..the same as her original color..but if i was in Harry Potter, i wouldn't mess with my hair...because i would be in Harry Potter and playing my dream part so i would not do anything to get me in trouble...but hey they can just dye it back right? and that's what they did, so no harm done.
I love Emma...she's sooo cool and has great fashion sense lol!!
GO EMMA!!!

I dont think they did dye it back - more fool them. Hermione was verging on blonde in PoA.

I just don't know what to make of her. Seeing her in person didn't help at all.

EXACTLY!! I remember when I was 14; I was the moodiest little thing you'd ever want to meet. Emma's at the age when her hormones are starting to go crazy -- and probably taking her with them.

She'll grow out of it. We all do.

I think she seems like a typical teenage girl! You can't be perfect all the time, she really is a very pretty girl, when she has finished Harry Potter I think she will have no trouble getting work.

Wow I've just made a connection..

It's nice to know that some actors and actresses are pleasant people and charitable, but I tend to judge those in the entertainment industry on their acting styles and ability (or their directing capability, etc). I think Emma's a good actor; she should definitely take on more projects after the HP films are done. As long as she does a good job in the future, I will be more than content.

Well, the comments were made afterward -- that's how the article reads. After all, it'd make no sense for them to have been said before she refused to sign them, I thought that was sorta obvious. lol
