Written Britain video // 20 April 2008

Emma appeared on the ITV program Travels in Written Britain today, a new series about “how the places of Britain have influenced writers throughout history.” Emma read an excerpt from George Eliot’s great niece’s diary. We have a video her segment. It’s not the best quality, but it’s all I’ve seen so far. Thanks to Danielle for sending it in.

    "helena, Your last 2 comments were posted several times each. It apparently happens sometimes. I've deleted the duplicates. KS987, the site staff can take care of the comments." I didn't do it intentionally, perhaps it was my computer? Anyways, sorry for the trouble! 🙂

  3. KS987 says:

    And I hate how everyone is being so nasty to Emma over this. What did she ever do to deserve this? 😡

  4. Pamela says:

    She should get botox or something from thm to stop them from moving. But i do agree that not everyone is perfect. It is really annoying though especially when she is recitnig the midsummer nights dream in Ballet Shoes!

  5. Rosie says:

    Pamela, that was rude for you to say such sort of thing about Emma. Also to everyone else whi is bashing Emma about her eyebrows, BACK Off. Nobody is perfect. And I also thought Emma did a good job in the video. She is such an elegant young beauty 🙂

  6. KS987 says:

    Pamela, I despise actors/actresses who use botox. They wind up acting like complete robots and don't express emotions well. Why do people think acting=not showing emotions and keeping the same facial expressions? That is what I call BAD acting. Anyway, I loved this video and I hope that Emma does more of these in the future.

    Hello frederique Hi, i don't know whether you will read this or not but you said thanks to Emma C, im guessing it was me? May i ask why you said thank you to me? it was nice but why? Anyway… 🙂

  8. Hannah says:

    Come on, everyone is entitled to their own opinion so just let it go. Yes the eyebrow thing can be annoying but you dont have to watch her if you dont like it! Emma has her own style just leave her to it.

  9. Pamela says:

    That was a joke! i guess you can't really do sarcasm on a computer can you. Celebs really need to learn how to wear decent underwear when they go out. I guess their new target is emma.

  10. AshleyLovesEmma says:

    Im really getting mad that half of the Emma 'fans' are bashing her and saying the insident was her fault and she should have known better. I dont know why, but a lot of people (who claim to be Emma's fans) seem to think shes a perfect goody-two-shoes that would never do anything bad or slip up in anyway. Well all I can say, is that Emma is not Hermione ok, she human. Im those people can find a Hermione fansite somewhere on the net. 😡 😡 😡 😡

  11. AshleyLovesEmma says:

    *im SURE those people…* Typing angry and at the speed of light is bound to mess you up.

  12. Luis says:

    My current status: Waiting for any official news which confirms the rumor 🙂 Come on EWO! Say something! 😛

  13. andrew says:

    that is cool :wink:.

  14. Luis says:

    EWO has been updated but no words about the rumor yet 🙁 Status: still waiting 😛

    I really don't like the atmosphere in Emma Watson fansites, it's like you can't say anything negative about her(and don't worry AshleyLovesEmma, I'm not talking about the incident on her birthday party but in general). And as soon as you say something like 'She's not a great actress' or 'Well, I think this dress doesn't suite her' everyone's attacking you: You're just jealous! Well let's see if YOU can you do a better job! How dare you? I find that really frustrating. Emma is not perfect, she doesn't think so and I can't see why her fans should, either. Mind you, I understand that it's unreasonable if Emma haters just randomly bash her… but it's a different thing to say a reasonable comment about her acting, for example. But no matter how you try to say your point, everyone still attacks you. Sigh. This is not about this site in particular, but among Emma fans in general. It's been bugging me for a while now, but now I just HAD to say something when I first read all the (imo) well-reasoned, sensible posts in The Leaky Cauldron saying how she has problems with her eyebrow acting and how she should change it.. And then a post where someone just said that everyone who critisize Emma is just plain jealous and pathetic. I'm an Emma fan. I think she's wonderful but I do have problems with her acting, mostly in HP GoF and OotP. She really improved in Ballet Shoes and I'm eager to see her future projects, too. So no, I'm not a jealous, pathetic basher. —Rant ends.

  16. KS987 says:

    You have the right to your opinion. However the problem is a fan site is NOT the best place to make complaints about her, and many who critique her basically harass fans who disagree and shove that view down her fans throats when her fans disagree. I think she is a great actress. I don't care if they disagree on other websites, but when they come on a site like this and start rants on how she MUST change comes across as arrogant, and is disrespectful to those who disagree with those complaints. They don't get that much respect because they don't show any. Had they said "If you disagree that is ok, this is just my opinion", then I personally wouldn't have a problem with it. However, many don't do that and act like their opinion is fact. That is why they get "attacked" sometimes. It isn't their opinion, but how and where they express it. Hope that clears things up.

  17. KS987 says:

    Anyway, Jo said that Emma is currently fine, which is good to hear. It is best for her to ignore all of this, so that eventually this will go away and they will move on to something else.

  18. l says:

    where did jo say it?

  19. pauleen says:

    helena123, I so agree with you! To me, though, it looks like she's doing it on purpose, to express the emotions… Perhaps Emma was never told that it has the opposite result, it distracts people and makes her acting a bit fake at times…

  20. where did jo say it? says:

    where did jo say it?

  21. KS987 says:

    I, on the forums Jo said it. 🙂

  22. KS987 says:

    Nice name, where did jo say it? 😛

    "helena123, I so agree with you! To me, though, it looks like she's doing it on purpose, to express the emotions… Perhaps Emma was never told that it has the opposite result, it distracts people and makes her acting a bit fake at times…" I'm not sure if she does it on purpose or not, but it is really distracting. She should use that energy to something else. Many people also complain about the panting, and it's probably a result of her thinking really hard not to do the eyebrow acting. I'm sure that with the help of right direction and coaching she'd get past it. And if the technique is right, she could loose herself more into the character, something I think she hasn't done so much in the Potter films thus far. I think she's been a bit stiff and over-the-top in some scenes. Emma has a lot of potential, I think she'll improve in HBP since she improved in OotP and Ballet shoes. 🙂

  24. Ashleigh says:

    EMMA PROBABLY DOESNT EVEN CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK SO JUST GET A LIFE AND LEAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. muggle_born says:

    Those sites, that are disrespectful of Emma's privacy, may call themselves "fan sites", but their only purpose is to bash Emma. 99% of what they post is garbage from the tabloids. They've gotten a lot of attention this week and I'm really sorry to see that. Emma seems to be a really sweet girl and I hope this is not getting her down too much. As my grandma used to say – this too shall pass.

  26. KS987 says:

    Don't go to those sites. They are known hater sites that do nothing but have false information and think tabloids are legit articles. They are either not that smart, or take their hate to a scary level. They even bash everyone who comes here. Only haters go to those sites. muggle_born, according to Jo apparently Emma is just fine. I am still mad at all of this obviously, but I am glad it isn't harming Emma too much.

  27. muggle_born says:

    THANX KS987. I'm really glad to hear Emma is doing fine.

  28. KS987 says:

    Don't thank me. It was Jo who let everyone else know. I actually thought she was a bit upset about it. I keep forgetting Emma doesn't pay attention to this and apparently has a high tolerance. 🙂

  29. frederique says:

    i think it's a bit sad!she should have to deal with that 🙁

  30. KS987 says:

    It is. Even though she is fine now, i still wish a horrible fate to the paparazzi who ruined her birthday. But let's stop talking about them. that is what they want.

  31. EmmaRocksSocks says:

    I'm glad to hear that Jo said Emma's fine. 🙂

  32. Smem says:

    Why is everyone making a big deal about her birthday party and her eyebrows and other stuff? 1: The paps are ALWAYS going to take photos. Even though its really disrepectful to ANY celebtriy, the reason they take those photos because they know people are going to comment on them. That's what everyone has been doing. 2: Who cares about her eyebrows moving around a lot? If that's what Emma does then why should we come out with vulgar comments? That's my two cents worth on this. But as for the video, it was wonderful and Emma has done a brillant job.

  33. camila says:

    paps are paparazzi right? and how does everyone know that emma is fine, did jo say so on EWO?

  34. dook says:

    camila,Yes, I think people are referring to paparazzi as paps.Jo has said on the forums that Emma is fine and isn’t letting it bother her. So let’s all put it behind us.

  35. emmac.d. says:
