Page Six reported on Tuesday that the "Harry Potter" starlet and Brown University freshman looked "quite shaken" on Saturday as Harvard beat Brown 24-21 in Cambridge. Watson was reportedly flanked by security guards to protect her from gawkers.</p>
<p>But her discomfort was actually the result of a targeted campaign by the Harvard Voice student magazine to draw as much attention to her as possible.</p>
<p>Before the game, a blog post on the mag's Web site said: "We will be Live-Tweetin' the game and possibly stalking Emma Watson, so keep your eyes peeled for that, too!" A succession of tweets posted on the Voice's Twitter account during the game followed, including, "Let's go Hermione! Lolz," a reference to Watson's character in "Harry Potter." It went on, "In enemy territory. Lookin for a certain witch," and, "WATSON FOUND. i repeat WATSON FOUND."
<p>Pretty sure she only became hot in the third movie, so she must’ve been 14 at least, right? Anyway this is pretty depressing, I think people should expect better of Harvard students.</p>
<p>I heard Yale did something similar (rumor, don’t know if it’s true.) when she was touring the campus as a prospective and when she entered one of the dining halls, everyone started taking pictures of her with their cell phones.</p>
<p>It makes me so sad that we’re such obnoxious little crazy people about celebrities. I mean, I get just as excited as everyone else about “sightings”, but you have to remember that they’re PEOPLE. Poor Emma Watson is going to be ridiculed for the rest of her college career, and it’s not even on purpose… :-(</p>
<p>While I do find such behavior immature, it’s not too surprising.</p>
<p>Even I engage in such behavior, to a limited degree. I asked a friend at Brown last month to take a picture of her on campus and post it on Facebook. My friend recalls that she realized that she was being photographed and turned away from the camera almost immediately. The picture only showed her back…</p>
