About having to kiss Dan or Rupert on screen (2005): "It would certainly be really, really weird having to kiss either of them, because they're so kind of like my brothers... I don't know, it would be very, very strange. Very strange."

Happy 20th Birthday Emma!

Happy Birthday, Emma!

with love from all your fans at EW.net

Emma Watson turns 20 years old today. I know a lot of people have said it, but it really is hard to believe that so much time has passed since that first scene in Philosopher’s Stone. For 10 years we’ve watched Emma grow from an adorable child to an amazing young woman. She’s made it through the teen years, the downfall of so many child stars, with flying colors. Every year I am just more impressed by Emma and her values. Every year my respect for her grows. Another year older, another year better. I look forward to the next 10 years.

I hope you will now all join us in wishing Emma a wonderful Happy Birthday, and to put you in the mood, we have a birthday video kindly made by Chiara.

    Happy birthday Emma!!!:smile: I wish you all the best for this very special day. That is an incredible moment to share and celebrate with family and friends. I find out absolutely incredible to see so many years past since the first day all HP fans and I have discovered you. Since this day, you have grown up to become the most exceptional girl on earth. You are simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Emma!!! Natural, in spite of success, likeable, gorgeous, very funny, intelligent and hard worker person… I know nobody else as PERFECT as you are. It is wonderful to picture all you have done since this day. I mean you are now 20 and you are already a very gifted actress, the Burberry muse, a committed person for Fair Trade with People Tree, student in Brown University… I do not know what I can say… You have achieved so many things and you are obviously on your way to keep up like this. Awesome! And that is why you are today the model for many people in the whole world and you deserve it! You are the girl of all my dreams, an angel from paradise which illuminates my life every day since I know you. I just woke up this morning and I immediately thought of wishing you a “Happy birthday!”:smile: I love you Emma but I reckon that is not enough… I have also to thank you for happiness you give to all your fans. So thank you Emma and I wish you again a Happy 20th Birthday!!! Have a wonderful day!!! <3 Lots of love, Romain, a French fan
