Hello everyone,
I know it’s been a long time since the website closed after Jo left. I know you are all nervous/excited for the re-opening of Emma-Watson.net but I must tell you that I’m a little bit disappointed by the actions of some people. Anyways, it’s a little bit my fault. I wasn’t able to tell you that I had some personal problems. Well, now you know, I did but everything is okay now.
1. Let’s talk about the new website features! As you may have noticed on the left side of the layout, there’s a box called "Watson Weekly". Watson Weekly is a magazine runs by Emma-Watson.net that will be published each week (usually on sundays). It talks about the latest news, some random facts, the events, Emma’s fashion (Funky Fashion) etc… It is the first issue so it is still in development. Hurry up and download it! Any suggestions/comments about the magazine are welcomed and can be sent to emmawatson.source@gmail.com.
Between, you need Winrar to unzip the file once downloaded by clicking on the thumbnail!
2. The website is now divided in two parts. Emma’s part (90%) and the Harry Potter’s part (10%). The system is simple. Emma has only played in the Harry Potter’s movies so far. Soon or later, she may play in another movie. And when this moment arrives, the website will be divided again… Emma (85%), Harry Potter (7.5%), The Other Movie (7.5%). Easy eh? Though, keep in mind that it is always an Emma’s website! Don’t worry 🙂
3. I would like to talk to you about the new Staff members that will bring a lot of new changes.
– First, we have Rick and Damien. Both are experimented in Flash animation and web development. They will bring to the website a more professional look and coding + some FLASH games. Unfortunately, they are still in development but the first one should be released soon.
– Secundo, we have all the persons who are contributing for the Watson Weekly magazine. Being part of the magazine was the famous "Secret Job". Each week, each members of the magazine will write a kind of essay for the magazine but you can also contribute by sending us your stuff such as Emma’s Portraits, your obsessed room, your fan stories, why Emma has been an inspiration for you etc…! They may appear in the fans section because we’ll pick some of the new stuff we got during the week to put in the magazine.
*Graphics/Portraits/Fan stories/Obsessed etc.. must be sent to emmawatson.graphics@gmail.com.
3- Mike. Better known as Dookdookdook (on the forums), Mike was well-known for his video website dedicated to Emma. Now, I’m glad to announce that Mike has joined Emma-Watson.net’s team as the video manager! With him, the Video Archive of Emma-Watson.net will be the most completed and updated one of the Web! Though, he’s still transfering all the videos to the server so it is not ready yet.
4- Carol and Mayara. They are News Posters, Gallery Managers and Events correspondents! Carol and Mayara attends to many events. They have a lot to share with us, stories/pictures/exclusives stuff etc… As they will both work on the gallery, it will also be a lot more updated! Unfortunately, the gallery is not ready yet to be opened.
5- We have a lot more new staff and I would like to thanks all of them for helping me to build this website. Though, it will be never finished, always progressing! 🙂
4. As everyone knows, Emma’s privacy has been violated so much lately. It’s sad to see how some people do not respect her. But I do, Emma-Watson.net does, you all do. We decided to make a special line of graphics especially made for the respect of Emma. You can support us by putting any of the "Respect Emma" graphics in your signatures on forums etc… You can see them HERE. Please, respect Emma!
5. Emma-Watson.net is also starting a new Weekly Banner Competition! The rules are simple :
1- No Shippers banner.
2- It has to be an Emma’s banner, not an Hermione’s one
3- 800 pixels by 311 pixels
4- Emma-Watson.net // Emmawatson.net must appear on it
5- Each banners received after fridays will be put on the next week batch.
6- All the entries must be sent to emmawatson.contest@gmail.com
**Please take in note that there’s no price this time. I can’t really afford it for the moment. Though, every winning banner will be kept as an official banner for the website til the competition ends. (A "choose your banner" system will be instaured) The competition will end when we will reach 12 winners!
On your graphics programs everyone!
6- The picture of the day and the video of the week are back.
7- We would like the fans to contribute a lot more than before. The followings are the way you can contribute :
1. You can send us news/suggestions to emmawatson.source@gmail.com
2. You can send us your fan stories, your graphics, your HP/Emma’s pictures, your drawings etc… to emmawatson.graphics@gmail.com
3. You can write an essay/article for the magazine. If it is accepted by our team, it will be posted in the new issue of Watson Weekly Magazine. to watsonweekly.magazine@gmail.com
4. You can apply to be part of Emma-Watson.net though check our job openings before.
8- We would like to thanks a lot BLUETRIDENT.NET for sponsoring us and Imran who’s always there to help us when we encounter servers problems. IMPORTANT : He told us that bluetrident is moving the servers so the server may crash and it affects the server’s speed. It’s normal if it takes you time to download stuff. Hopefully it will be resolved as soon as possible.
9- I’m totally re-making the affiliates. If you want to be affiliated with Emma-Watson.net, send an e-mail to emmawatson.source@gmail.com and specify clearly the subject in the title.
***We know the site bugs for those who are using FireFox. Don’t worry, it will be fixed in the next few days. If you find any bugs/errors messages, please feel free to e-mail us to emmawatson.source@gmail.com
We know that you always need to send an e-mail to contact us but don’t worry, we’ll install a form in the next few days that you will be able to use to send us whatever you want in the easiest and fastest way possible!
I guess that’s all, if I forgot anything, I will modify the post later… well enjoy but do not forget that the site is still and will always be in development! You will see that many other sections/stuff/content will appear in the next few days. Any comments can be sent to emmawatson.source@gmail.com. The comments system will be back once I can arrange a little bit the News box presentation.

Congrats on reopening! Im really excited to check out the new site. Good job!
Excellent job Fred! You’ve done quite a lot since the last time I saw emma-watson.net. I was really upset when it went on hiatus. EW.net is the best site there is where I can find all things Emma. I sincerely hope no one bashes her here on the comment board, it is very annoying and it breaks my heart.
