Hey everybody, As many of you probably already know, certain personal photos of Emma Watson with friends have been leaked onto the internet (by some untrustworthy loser, no doubt) and while it may be intriguing to see or share the pics and what she was wearing in them, we've simply gotta respect Emma's privacy.
Here is the official warning courtesy of our lovely mod Laura:
ATTENTION
Posting of the personal photos is prohibited, as is using them for graphics. If you make a graphic out of them, it will be deleted. If you post them, your post will be deleted. If you continue to post the pictures, link, or graphics made with said pictures and ignore our warnings, we will ban you.

Thanks, Nel. *wants to be able to make announcements* Guys, really. I know some of you don't think there's any harm in seeing them or posting them, but these aren't like candids. She didn't pose for them knowing that a fan would post it on the internet - she posed for them for her friends. They are her private pictures and as said above, posting them will very possibly get you banned, and if you post them enough, it'll get you banned forever. / Edit/ I've taken the liberty of posting the differences between a candid, fan, public, and personal photo. A candid picture, though, is a picture taken in public with the celebrity having full knowledge it would get posted on the 'net. The arriving in Japan/leaving Regis and Kelly, etc, are such pictures. A fan picture is a picture taken of Emma and one of her fans, by the fan's friend or by someone on the street. Again, Emma probably knows that it'll get on the internet. A public picture is a picture taken at a premiere, event, etc, by photo companies like Getty. A private/personal picture is of Emma and her friends and family, taken by her friends and family, and taken for their own personal use. These are the pictures that were posted. /Edit/Why we don't post private pictures: Source: Philly.com. Posting private pictures is illegal, and as you can see, Emma and her lawyers will come after you. Respect her privacy.

Just so you know. I had these sent to my website. Those pictures are actually illegal and can get your favourite sites sued if certain authority figures see it.

Those pictures? Yeah, they are illegal. They were taken from Emma's friend's account on Bebo without her friend's permission.

Yeah, I was wondering how they got those pictures... like, as if some friend of hers posted them all on a page for people to find... that would be terrible. I feel bad for her, since I *love* making my own little websites (or used to) and writing in blogs.. and that's the type of thing she wouldn't be able to do. This did teach me not to be obsessed with what celebrities do, since you have to realize that they're also human and are allowed to lead a normal life to have fun and be silly. I kinda feel sorry for those who are so famous, everyone gets all hyped up about them becoming pregnant.. but apparently, some of those celebrities like all the attention.
*stops making a speech*

lol Yeah, some who have been celebrities for a while like it, but others who are just trying to be normal deserve our respect in that we won't go posting those photos.

*doesn't really understand what Tasha just said*
Erm.... Well, in any case, posting those pictures, the link to them, or using them in graphics will get you yelled at, suspended and/or banned, for reasons stated in my and Nel's posts.

I feel so sorry for her. I mean, it'd be absolutely amazing to be in Harry Potter, but she has absolutely no privacy now.

I am amazed it took about 5-6 years before stuff like this popped up. She has been pretty lucky.

I mean it is terrible stuff like this has popped up. But nothing really terrible has happened in all the time she has been in the movies.

Yeah! We should ALL respect her privacy and let her lead a normal life! But I guess we can just be very happy that nothing worse has happened. I mean, Emma is a pretty girl and she's famous and there are a lot of freaks in this world (if you understand what I'm saying) I guess we can be very glad and Emma can be very fortunate nothing like that has happened to her. *Goes back in mind....remembers that happened to Bow Wow.....poor kid!*
