Even though Emma Watson officially turned 18 on the 15th of this month she enjoyed "celebrating" Saturday at the Automat in London. The drinking laws in the UK are different then here. The legal drinking age is 18 which means cross over stars like Joss Stone and Emma Watson must have a hard time when coming State side. What do you all think should 18 year olds be allowed to drink legally, or is it safer sticking with 21?Personally, I don't think people in the UK have a harder time with their youth because of the lower age than the US does with 21 as the age. But by reading a few of the comments below, it seems there is a greater issue I was unaware of.Bauer Griffin

When you turned 18, what did you get? A car would be the biggest gift someone I knew received. Well, Emma Watson gained control of all her assets and in US dollars that's about $20 million bucks. Mommy and Daddy Watson no longer have say in what she does with her money. Can you imagine waking up one morning and suddenly having access to $20 MILLION?
She still has people managing her pot and is required to take courses on how to manage it. Thank goodness she is surrounded by responsible people.

In a deal with England's royal bank Coutts, who also look after her co-star Daniel Radcliffe's fortune, the actress is required to make low-risk, high-interest investments and attend courses on how to be a responsible millionaire.

Here's the young and lovely Emma Watson attending the ''Sony Erricson Film Awards'' reception in London yesterday. I adore Emma from the Harry Potter movies. I can't seem to shake thinking Emma is just a little girl. I know she is a teenager and has the money and eye to appreciate fashion. But whenever I see her in something like this, it almost feels like she is playing dress up. I guess that's because when I was mid-teen, the only time I got dressed up was for my sweet 16. ;)What do you guys think of the dress? It is definitely age appropriate and covers what needs to be covered. But does it make you do a double take when Emma goes out like this?

Here's the gorgeous Emma Watson at the Vanity Fair preview part for "Vanity Fairs Portrait Exhibition" at Britain's National Portrait Gallery. I love me a little Emma and I think she looks rather pretty here, but what do you think about the color of the dress? I try to stay away from nudes like this because I feel it washes me out. Does it do the same for our little wizard?

Here's the always cute Emma Watson as she arrives to the 2007/08 Chanel Fashion Show in London. I will always have a soft spot for little (or not so little now) Emma since I am a huge Harry Potter fan. This look is actually quite different from what I am used to seeing her wear. She typically is a big risk taker on the red carpet, fashion forward if you will. This outfit obviously doesn't fit that formula. What do you think about this look?

Emma Watson did InStyle magazine and the photo shoot turned out gorgeous! She's growing up to be such a beautiful woman...and is it just my imagination or does she sort of resemble Kate Winslet in a few of the pictures?Click on thumbnails to enlarge.

Emma Watson looked amazing at the Pride of Britain Awards in London yesterday evening. The event celebrates the UK's biggest heroes. I guess Hermione and her magic powers would definitely make Emma eligible.And can you believe there's another Harry Potter movie coming out in a little over a year already?!? I feel like the last one just came out. But hey, let the countdown begin :)Click on thumbnails to enlarge.

Emma Watson has been everywhere lately, riding the publicity wave of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She is fresh faced and adorable in these shots taken for Entertainment Thailand. I love these pictures because she looks grown up and gorgeous, but still youthful. As we've talked about before, Emma really does seem to have a good head on her shoulders. If you want to see how much younger her and the whole Harry Potter cast looked a little more than a year ago, check out these pictures.
So who has seen the newest movie? I AM DYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And just to tickle your fancy, here are a few more shots of Emma in different magazines:

I really enjoy Emma Watson and she seems to have a really down to earth personality. I don't know about you guys, but I think she is going to be one of the few young celebrities that isn't going to get all crazy, drugged out and become a repeat rehab offender.

At the LA premier of Harry Potter: Order of Phoenix, Extra TV showed Emma Watson her co-star Daniel Radcliffe's new photo layout for Details magazine.

The teen reacted with a gasp of (rather delighted) shock when she was shown the results of a photo shoot her co-star had done for Details magazine. The photos were taken for an interview in the magazine.

I must say that the expression on her face is priceless! She must not have expected to see Harry Potter in leather. ;-)
