This is one of the downsides of trying to attend college when you’re a famous actress. Emma Watson reportedly attended a football game between Brown and Harvard only to find herself harassed by students working on the Harvard Voice magazine.
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.”
The Harvard Voice also posted a picture of Watson on its Web site and proclaimed its stalking mission a “success.”
However, the Harvard Voice ended up facing backlash from their own fellow students. One Harvard student wrote online:
“Anybody can do anything unfeelingly to anybody in this day and age, especially if they feel imbued with entitlement from membership in Harvard College.”
The Harvard Voice didn’t completely back down, but an editor did post a note on the picture of Emma that read:
“There seems to be much ado about nothing over this photo and liveblog. Understand that these live tweets were made to be intentionally outrageous and overblown.”
Neither the Voice editors nor Brown’s reps would comment on the matter to the NY Post. Emma’s rep could not be reached. Something tells me Emma will be left alone after this.

Serve’s her right she would have been protected here in England if she went to Oxford or Cambridge but she wanted the States…well I hope she learns a lesson, take’s it on the Chin and grows up. She is quite Winey if u met her in real life.
Time for some Ivy League harassment charges. Grow up kids.
Omg, You think that by that age and are attending an elite school that they can be more mature and professional about things. gosh.
She is cute. I love her in hp and would like to see her in other movies
She has been looking fabulous lately.
She is very beautiful
That is honestly dumb i have no desire to become famous because of that reason mainly its dumb we are all ppl in this world so why cant we all be treated with the same respect no matter if we are famous or not.
I don’t think this would have made the news if students from a little-known school had done the same immature thing. It’s probably unreasonable that the students in question are being held to a higher standard of maturity. Just because they go to Harvard doesn’t mean that they’re always responsible.
Also, meme, stereotype much? I think this incident was a case of immaturity; I don’t see how it could be characterized as snottiness.

It’s unfortunate that the students in question are being held to a higher standard of maturity. Just because they’re smart enough to go to Harvard doesn’t mean that they’re always responsible.

I am sorry but this is so effing stupid. My dad couldn’t believe this behavior is coming from his alma mater. This is something I would respect from a bunch of high school students. Not students attending college, let alone a University like Harvard. To make it worse, it wasn’t just random students. It was the damn school newspaper. That airhead editor should have people making jokes about him on twitter so it can see just how much fun it is. I feel bad for Emma. Hopefully things get better for her.
& they are suppose to be the attending an elite university!?!?!
oh please. those ivy league students are snotty brats…most of them anyway.
Oh hell no! Don’t make me go up there. LOL!
You crack me up…
poor girl. all she wants to do is have a normal college experience like everyone else. i guess that’s never going to happen. but im sure that if it gets worse, she will soon change her mind and just go to another university back home.
What a bunch of idiots!
The tweets were incredibly ridiculous. I mean… WATSON FOUND WATSON FOUND? oh god.
That’s awful! Whatever happened to Harvard having respectable students? Especially on the paper.
She looks way to sweet to get away with wearing leather (or pletter or whateva)….
