As Eden said, all it takes is a small piece of news about her for her to be everywhere again. She's been out of the spotlight for years, and if you look at the 100 most searched personalities on Google, she's ranked 45th (https://meetglimpse.com/top-searched/most-searched-person/).
Hopefully she'll come out of her hiatus soon and return to acting — she's truly missed (if she still wants to act, of course).
Ah yes the filth..
News is telling that greens’ top shop is about to reopen do you all think she will be there??
Where's everyone?
I reckon we'll have news next week. Anyone want to take bets?
Eden do you think Emma will be present at the relaunching of Topshop stores..
Nope
JKR is grinding them on her X profile
Funny how she talks about fear. She lives her whole life in fear of 'the other'.
She is destroying people for fun and wants to talk about fear?
Eden do you think Emma is in danger going by that tweet. She has basically hidden herself from the world.
Don't know what tweet you're talking about.
Billionaire who controls the courts and media with a mob of bigots
'people are scared'
yes of you!!
JKR recent tweet
I'm not reading that much from her unless it's HP XD
Emma clearly isn’t scared of her. Don’t know what people are on about
She’s calling out all the potter stars who signed the letter. She seems to think she created them and they owe her all their opinions. Honestly they live rent free in her head, she’s clearly obsessed. But they clearly aren’t scared of her, otherwise they wouldn’t have signed it.
What is J.K. Rowling’s tweet saying?( I don’t want to go to her X profile.) And what does Emma have to be scared of?
just another tantrum about emma not bowing before her
Eden I know its been years but do you think Emma visited necker island in 2023 to get in touch with Costner? He was recently single, she was single and she had a longtime crush on him, so it makes sense for her to have visited the island to get in touch and possibly get him to love her or whatever. Still, paying 100K to meet someone is futile. Couldnt she arrange a meeting with mutuals?
She didn't even want Emma cast as Hermione, now she "created" her.
Watch the Daily Fail be like “Rowling BREAKS her silence on the “backstabbers” who betrayed her”… also known as the non terf members of the HP/FB cast. No but seriously the Daily Fail and their love for saying Rowling breaks her silence, as if she ever shuts up.
Of course not, and Costner was with someone.
So let me get this right, HP/FB cast members sign a letter that’s pro trans people. Rowling instead of being a normal person and scrolling past something she doesn’t agree with… wrote a whole fucking essay about it ?!?! Also did anybody else clock how Paapa Essiedu ALSO signed the letter but, Daily Fail and co. only mention Emma in the headlines by name?
I had a dream that Emma was God ✝️🤩
Oh no they did a whole article on Paapa signing it and then another article on whether she’d sack him for it - apparently she wouldn’t try as she’s fine with others having opinions - which is hilarious as firstly she’s the complete opposite, and secondly she doesn’t have the power to do anything
Honestly she’s gone INSANE
I know - me too! How weird..
rowlings own far right fan base want her to fire the dude who plays the new snape lmao what goes around comes around love that she now has to defend this guy against her worst followers that she has empowered for years and the obvious underlying racism and bigotry that is part of her movement is all on show for everyone to see https://bleedingcool.com/tv/harry-potter-j-k-rowling-reacts-to-calls-for-paapa-essiedus-firing/
''Of course not, and Costner was with someone.''
Costner addressed the rumours that he and jewel were ''just friends''
Given Emma's previous stated crush and the fact that she has never been spotted on Necker Island, while Costner had been invited multiple times and he rejected all but the 2023 one, makes you wonder. But still, everyone who is involved with this island is much older than Emma, which makes it less possible to be already friends with someone...
HBO took a huge L today and so did the hp tv show
as trump said he doesn't want Hollywood filming stuff outside USA any more and will tariff the hell out of such productions
HBO wanted to shoot HP in UK again, lol
amazing timing to try to remake it
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-hollywood-tariff-movies-shows-b2745066.html so much money will be lost filming a harry potter remake in UK now
hilarious that Rowling fans love trump so much and now this show is in danger if it fails in its first few seasons it will be cancelled easy for costing so much extra money
We know she's not going to the Met Gala but I wonder if she'll go to any fashion shows in September.
The way she now has to defend Paapa Essiedu is honestly fucked up to me. Because it just proves that she didn’t have to encourage all the harassment that the non terf cast members of the OG HP and FB went through. Like none of them have ever told their followers to go harass her, meanwhile she’s pushing 60 and kekeing with the people harassing the same “kids” (they’re in their mid 30’s at the youngest) that she feels entitled to. Don’t get me wrong Paapa Essiedu shouldn’t be harassed if he’s truly pro trans ( which just makes him look hipocritical by signing on to be Snape, to earn a known terf money). It unfortunately proves to me at least, that her behavior towards the main trio in particular is personal… Because what do you mean that people like John Lithgrow, Jason Isaacs, Eddie Redmayne and Evanna Lynch among others have all come out to be like “Rowling doesn’t deserve to be bullied, just because she’s a terf”. While Rowling herself shades mostly the trio unprovoked every 2 to 3 business weeks, or laughed it up with people that do.
As much as I hate that cheese Cheeto bitch with corn hair also known as the current U.S. president… I hope his fuck ass tariffs on foreign made movies will somehow extend to the HBO reboot as well. Also the way J.K Rowling now has to defend Paapa Essiedu is hilarious to me as much as it’s sad. Because it just proves that she didn’t have to encourage the harassment her minions gave the non terf members of the OG/FB cast all these years…
Do you think there’ll be anything special for HP 25 years anniversary? Like another reunion special? Do you think Emma will be involved? I feel like she might not want to this time with all the controversy
The controversy started before the reunion and it still happened. That being said, I don't think there will be another reunion only 5 years after the previous one.
My guess would be a theatrical re-release rather than another reunion.
Anything hp can rot now trump did something useful for once ruining the uk filming now it will be shot in usa with even more Americans and be so yankee brained it will feel so wrong and bad lmao
Courting maga favour is always a mistake the man is caligula he will destroy even his own allies during his bouts of madness
Do you think they’ll do anything else instead Eden? Is the 25 year anniversary next year?
I don't think anything will be done.
Are JK Rowling’s fans okay? I just read: ‘She doesn’t want to destroy the lives of Dan, Emma, Rupert, Paapa, and others just because they disagree. She’s such a good person.’ Oh, how kind of her. But seriously—what gives JK the right to even think like that? Is she some kind of secret dictator we don’t know about?
She seems to think she is, and they live rent free in her head.
It was a pickleball tournament. That’s what she was there for
I will say it’s funny that she can’t fire Paapa Essiedu (because casting isn’t a part of her job description) or how she didn’t originally want Emma as Hermione. Yet according to her minions the trio that lives rent free in her head, must bow down to her, as if they’re her servants or something. Meanwhile she doesn’t even have the power to overrule casting choices for a movie/TV series based on her books… Though personally I’m still rooting for the cancellation of the reboot… which might happen if it underperforms, and the Cheeto dust covered one actually manages to impose his BS tariffs on foreign made entertainment…
She isn't defending that guy she is running a defensive game for herself to her insane fans about why she cant get rid of him and how it's not her fault he is hired as it's nothing to do with her....funny because that means Emma dan and rupert were also not put where they are by her and owe her nothing since she has no power over warner then
It seems like Tom Felton has been really in the spotlight recently with his Evo Sessions racing car driving, his German Potter convention and the adverts he’s filmed in Mexico and for Adobe too. He looks slimmer and happier! Do you think he’s broken up with Roxanne? He mentioned at the German Con that his mom was taking care of his dogs, not sure if that’s because Roxanne was there with him in Germany or because they’re no longer together. He just seems to have a happier energy about him. I wonder if it’s time for him and Emma to come together at last?
Hey Eden, do you know when Tom Felton was last in rehab? He mentioned it was recently but I didn’t know how recently he meant.
Do you think there’ll be any issues between Emma and Tom Felton now that he’s going back to support the new HP remakes? I know there’s huge uproar about JKR’s views on trans rights etc. Emma has been vocal in her opposition to those views but Tom has never said anything, and by going back looks to be supporting JKR and condoning her views. Do you think it’ll cause friction between Emma and Tom?
Do you think it’s a bit odd that in his recent magazine interview Felton didn’t mention Emma when asked who he was still closest to, and moved right along from Dramione in his interview at the Chicago HP shop opening? He moved straight on to Drarry and Drapple when he normally loves an excuse to drop Emma’s name! He also has been doing loads recently and looks happier. Do you think they might possibly be in a relationship and he’s not talking about her now to hide it? Because she’s so private?
That's been discussed two posts ago ;)
Not a clue
That’s an old article in Hello! It’s just been updated recently. It mentions him jumping in the ocean twice a day too but he lives in the UK now.
I wonder if they’re together now!!
felton being on jk side and working with her is an end of that shipping look at how rowling and her fans talk about emma and want her destroyed she is not dating someone like that
Obviously you won't know, but Eden, do you think we'll have more news about her this year? And by news I don't mean something like last story upload, I mean something planned.
In addition if you had to bet, do you think she has completely abandoned acting or that's something that isn't completely out of the table (she returning in some project that fulfill her needs at some point in the future).
Of course I hope both things could be positive, but anyway I hope she's doing fine and happy.
I don't think she gave up acting, I think she just got extremely picky.
Not the new I wanted… but turns out that Emma is one of the celebrities most targeted by deep fakes… Not that surprising considering how inappropriate people have been towards her since she was a minor, but still… I just hope that the little ones in the reboot don’t have to deal with stuff like that, or at least that they’re protected from it
Good mooorning eden and good mooorning to all the lovelies here.
I hope everybody's doing great and wonderful.I haven't been here for quite a while recently and it feels so good to be back after a while,even though there's not much going on in the fam.
How are you doing eden?
I understand. I hope she finds something that represents what she wants to portrait, this industry is really vast, there has to be something that fits her and not just empty blockbusters
Honestly I don’t think Tom ever wanted Emma during the HP years, I think he was wrapped up in his fame and good looks. He chose Melissa whilst Emma was available, and then he chose to be with Jade. He was so determined in his love for Jade and so public about it, he adored her. I think it was only after he broke up with Jade that he realised how lovely Emma had become, how steady and kind and beautiful, and he wanted that but she had moved on. I think he looks back and wished he’d felt more for her in the HP days when he had his chance! I’m not sure I believe him in his book when he says that he did like her as more than friends but wouldn’t say so.
I think she left oxford due to deep fakes being shared around campus allegedly
Oxford seems to be mentioned as ones talking about needing to stop deepfakes and pics of Emma keep getting used in the articles, are they implying it happened to her at the school??
As good as always. I hope you're doing good too.
The Oxford Internet Institute did a study on deepfakes, part of which showed that Emma was the most targeted. Not surprising really, she was targeted with photoshop deepfakes long before the AI stuff.
I don’t think Tom Felton is on JKR side - I think he simply doesn‘t pick sides. I‘m not on Instra anymore but I remember him sharing a picture many years ago, where someone had put a transphop sign in their shop and Tom had taken a picture of it and wrote something like you should be kind and not an asshole or something. I can‘t remember exactly but he was clearly against transphobia. From everything I heard Emma or other people who know him in person say about him in interviews he must have a big heart and just wants to be kind to everybody and sees the good in everybody. From what I read in the past I think he probably agrees more with Emma than with JKR, but he is way less political so it’s easier for him to ignore that part of JKR and still love her for HP. I do think Emma and him are still friends but simply keep it private.
Alex did a podcast about Renais (he posted the link in his stories yesterday) and he mentions that Emma is doing a grueling Masters at Oxford and will be doing that for the foreseable (year?). I don't know when he recorded it but it sounds pretty recent.
If anyone in the cast had even the slightest chance to be with Emma and it didn’t work out because of them, then I’m sorry, but they were extremely stupid.
Obviously, it’s not just her looks (she’s undeniably gorgeous) or her ideals (which I find incredibly admirable, especially in the context of the film and entertainment industry); it’s also about her personality and the way she treats people—something I don’t personally know (though I doubt she’s unpleasant, to be honest). Considering the whole package, it’s hard for me to understand how anyone wouldn’t have wanted to be with her after spending so many hours together over so many years.
Doing absolutely wonderful eden,been focusing on my masters recently and it's been so bloody fulfilling.
How's the weather been at your place? the weather in Oxford has been absolutely gorgeous this past month.
The wisteria season is upon us and leg me tell you,it's the most beautiful thing about late spring and pre-summer in Oxford.
There was a good thread on here about Emma and being targeted by deepfakes and creeps and why she is likely not starting a family as they would be subjected to seeing that trash if they ever go online and search Emma name and how much damage it would do
eden why was a comment removed? was it bad?
The person who wrote it deleted it.
Tom only had a shot when Emma was 10 to 12. A 13 to 15yo not being into a 10 to 12 is a good thing.
Eden do you have any plans about traveling or you know,just exploring Europe?
I imagine you've already seen quite alot of France and I think it would be a brilliant idea to kind of just "flow with the wind",so to speak.
If you do plan on visiting England soon,please do try to come and visit oxford if you can.
I'm as far as someone can be from a traveler.
Alex did a podcast about Renais (he posted the link in his stories yesterday) and he mentions that Emma is doing a grueling Masters at Oxford and will be doing that for the foreseable (year?). I don't know when he recorded it but it sounds pretty recent.
You got a link to it?
I see,not everyone gets into the whole exploring and traveling stuff so that's okay.
Maybe you've given it a thought?,or you've atleast had a bucket list of places that you really want to visit atleast once in your lifetime.

Nope.
Oh I see,not big on traveling are you eden?
You should give it a thought someday,you know.
I travel whenever I have the chance to,well not since the beginning of my masters but I do try to find time for it,it's such a wonderful experience in my opinion.
The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) mentioned that indeed there was a sharp increase in deepfakes. However there was no mention of Emma Watson. The oxford mail soon added that Emma was one of the most affected but they cite no evidence.
Alex‘ voice is really calming. The main part about Emma starts minute 22 - for everybody who doesn‘t want to listen to the full interview.
Hello Bablu,
you say you are currently doing a master in Oxford. I hope you don't mind me asking: Have you met Emma on campus or have you heard anything about her? It would be so nice to know what she's focussing on in her master courses...
Just waiting for DM to publish a story saying Emma dropped out of her D.Phil and slinked back to her Masters course.
Genuine question to Feltson shippers in the big year of 2025… Why would want Emma to be with somebody who has to be called out to make a definitive statement in defense of wrongdoing??? Like no offense, but Emma seems like the person who isn’t afraid to make her stance on things known. While Tom is for lack of better words more meek in some ways…Like that man is afraid to offend/outwardly criticize anything… even if he doesn’t agree. Meanwhile Emma truly doesn’t seem to give a fuck if people don’t like what she has to say, with an example being her story a couple days ago…I mean he’s even admitting to never being in love with her, although he does care for her as a friend… because y’know as far as we know they’ve ALWAYS been just friends/colleagues. Not to mention as far as we know they’re both currently in separate relationships (Tom’s even rumored to be married).
As far as Emma being one of the most targeted celebrities for deep fakes… it’s sadly not something that surprising. She’s had creeps photoshop her into suggestive photos/videos since she was a minor. I mean try typing her name into the search bar on instagram, and it’s not long before you’ll find an account making A.I posts about her…
Bold of you to assume that the Daily Fail will recognize they fucked up… They can’t even be bothered to check if she’s dating someone or just walking next to them… like off the top of my head…Roberto(they even misspelled his last name ,and assumed he was two different people)Hassan both Ryans among others… I mean they didn’t even bother to get the name of the degree for the doctorate in literature (which creative writing falls under) correct.
Yeah it's not new info that if you search Emma name on any site that has a search function you find disturbing fake images as some of the first results for literal decades now
Yes, but the filming lasted for 10 years, dunno if he changed his mind before finishing like he says now or not
He says his ‘girlfriend at the time’ knew that there was a spark between him and Emma, but he chose to be with Melissa (Emma was too young for him then, she was 13 and a half and he was 16 when he got together with Melissa) and when they ended, Emma was with her rugby player boyfriend. They broke up in 2007, and Tom got together with Jade in 2008 so there was time for him to have chosen Emma but he dated Jade. He seemed so in love with her, especially at the start, loads of public displays of affection and all over social media, that I find it hard to believe he was just pining after Emma. I believe that when things ended with Jade he realised what a diamond Emma is (and I may be cynical also but how much fame he’d have if they dated) and wished he’d taken his chance earlier so wrote in his book that he’d always felt more for her. I’m not sure! Maybe he did fancy her a bit? Flick Miles (Emma’s double in films 1-3) said that the whole cast fancied each other in the earlier films so maybe he did like Emma but knew she was too young for him. I wonder why they’ve never given it a shot after HP? Maybe Emma moved on and doesn’t like him that way anymore.
Why is it that so many people still don‘t understand that there is more than just romantic love? How many times do both Emma and Tom have to say and write that the love they have for eachother is that of a kinship and not a romantic one? Why do people still ship them? Why can’t you be happy with them loving eachother as friends/family? Why does it have to be romance? MOVE ON!
"Emma seems like the person who isn’t afraid to make her stance on things known"
ok, granted, she signed the letter and posted that story on instagram, but let's be honest here... emma hasn't made a stance in a long time. her public activism is pretty much gone. i do really think she is working behind the scenes on the issues she is passionate about, but claiming she isn't scared to speak up (and then attacking other people who are way more vulnerable from attacks from rowling supporters than emma is) while she hasn't spoken up in a reeally long time seems a little bit hypocritical. i don't think she's afraid, but it's not like she's actively putting herself on the line either.
also, stop bringing up tom and giving more conversation topics for the shippers, just ignore it (like he kinda did when emma was mentioned in that last interview)
My 10 cents on this is it’s probably a combination of her wanting to stay out of the limelight (look how she avoided almost all Little women promo work), her being very choosy about roles AND directors/producers being choosy about her. Let’s be honest, she’s an OK, but limited actor. She’s nowhere near as bad as popular opinion has it, but she’s no Florence Pugh, Saoirse Ronan or Emma Stone (to name some near contemporaries who all make multiple movies a year), nor is she in the age bracket to compete with the Sidney Sweeney’s or Jenna Ortega’s of the world.
And she’s probably priced out of the roles she’d be most suited for in UK TV period dramas and comedies
My genuine question for Feltson shippers is why are you so invested in two people that you don’t know getting together? It’s incredibly weird, creepy and parasocial, especially as most of these people would most likely also be in their 30s now….
Not even a big Tom Felton fan, but y’all are doing way too much. The guy literally did a gay romance movie and has openly said he’s pro-love, pro-choice, and supports human rights. Just because he didn’t post some dramatic call-out doesn’t mean he agrees with J.K. Rowling. People show support in different ways.
Honestly, the way some of you are dragging him feels more like bullying than actual advocacy. And if you’re a real Emma Watson fan, you’d know she wouldn’t stand for that kind of behavior either.
Also, if we’re talking accountability where’s the same outrage for the actors who just joined the new Harry Potter reboot? J.K. has even more creative control now, and her views have been known for years. If we’re gonna criticize, let’s keep that same energy across the board.
(And just to be clear — I’m not talking about Paapa Essiedu he literally signed a pro-trans open letter. Big respect to him.)
Emma doesn’t need to post daily to be heard. A statement she made five years ago still circulates as if it were yesterday. Her opinion spreads within seconds. Repeating it more often won’t help, it could actually make things worse.
She is not hiding. Her views are well known. Maybe she has realized that sharing every step of her activism only creates distractions and slows down real action. It is not because she is scared.
If she had done what Bonnie did in the latest video, JK would have gone into “war mode.”
Being honest I don’t want them together at all 🙈 I’m envious of their closeness and rather like Tom myself 🙈😆
Where is Bonnie’s latest video please?
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIg9fmZz--T/?igsh=amo2dWJreDMxbHZs Sorry, but I think if Emma had posted it, JK and her fans would have taken it way too personally, even if it wasn’t meant that way. That’s just my opinion. I wouldn’t have wanted to see the kind of comments that would have been directed at Emma.
he needs the money and its confirmed he sides with Rowling in various reports and will be rewarded with a role in the new show
Anyone who sees what jkr and her fans do to emma and still say nothing is no true friend of hers
Everyone has been going in on the new Dumbledore for working with her he is pretending to e shocked at the backlash and acting all clueless American about it but hes just trying to avoid the issue
Emma has said before that she thinks her celebrity just ends up being a distraction, as the media focuses on the fact that it's her talking about it rather than on the thing she's talking about.
HBO claims rowling has no input and her views will not be anywhere in the show and she herself said she has no control over casting while her racist fans want the snape guy Papa fired...but i think its all nonsense and desperation to get back viewers
Mind you he liked Rowling’s transphobic tweets back in 2019 (I have screenshots) and only unliked them because of the backlash. And him working with Rowling now that she’s even more openly transphobic says something. It doesn’t matter if he needed the money, working with Rowling on an obvious cash grab is very spineless behavior to me. Especially when he’s been consistently acting in smaller projects for a while now. The pay might not be as big as a Potter paycheck but at the same time it’s not like he makes minimum wage and is scrapping by every month. Also I don’t know where you might live, but where I’m from they’re cussing John Lithgrow (among others) out in any comment section tied to an article that mentions him.
Let’s be real when the reboot was first announced, nearly every article mentioned that Rowling was involved. Now HBO is backpedaling, saying she has “no input,” like we all didn’t read the same headlines. It’s just damage control. They’re hoping her trash views get buried and the nostalgia pulls people back in because it’s “more faithful to the books.”
And let’s not pretend it’s only her racist fans upset about the casting plenty of Black viewers feel uncomfortable too. How are they going to handle Snape’s bullying storyline now? And canon Snape is described as greasy and unattractive Papa Essiedu is way too handsome for that role.
But sure, keep telling us she has no say this time. If HBO blinks any harder, we’re gonna need to check their PR team for a concussion.
As far as I’ve seen everybody is heavily judging John Lithgrow. Especially after his statement where he’s more concerned about Rowling feelings, than his friends’ child . Somebody he personally knows is actively being affected by the actions made by those in governmental positions affiliated with Rowling, the thing is, he literally doesn’t care. Which believe or not, when somebody can’t be arsed to make a simple statement standing up for a discriminated minority, they’re just as bad as the ones harming the minority (yes that includes Tom). Rowling is actively funding and advocating for trans rights to be taken away and you mean to tell me that almost everybody in the OG HP cast has said something except for Tom?!?! Like even Jason Isaacs has defended Rowling, and sided with her knowing he’d get backlash. But at least he didn’t pussyfoot around the issue the way Tom does. And Rowling “graciously” giving Tom a crew member position for not “betraying and backstabbing” her should tell you where he stands…
He fences sits in the name of the almighty dollar
I think all this introspective time she had could serve her right if she decides to resume her acting career. She has grown up
Damn Malfoys...
So, no news then.
The problem with a black Snape is not only that it is the opposite of what he is supposed to look like in the books. The main problem is that James Potter and Sirius Black are now not only bullying an outsider but bullying a black kid. They are turning them into racists. There are so many other roles in HP for which they could have cast a black actor. But Snape? Sorry, no.
I feel like either James or Sirius or both of them will be black too.
if Sirius is black the whole 'black family' will need to be black including Bellatrix and Narcissa and Malfoy by extension (or at least mixed race casting) it will be a mess to make all these evil racists who are white suddenly black or mixed race...also a black Bellatrix torturing white Hermione for being a muggle born will reek to high heaven....madness if they do any of this
Rowling was always annoyed not enough people sympathised with snape when the dude is a typical 'nice guy incel' as we understand that type of man today and in order to avoid this criticism and make people feel more sympathy she likely mandated they change his race in some twisted plan to catch our critics
she claims she has no influence but i think its all been down to her trying to prove her critics of her work the last 20 years wrong
„if Sirius is black the whole 'black family' will need to be black including Bellatrix and Narcissa“ Biology says no. They are just cousins. Cousins don‘t always have the same skin colour. They only share one set of grandparents.
My parents are white. So am I. My uncle is white too. If he had children with a black woman, my cousins would very likely be black or at least more black than me.
„I feel like either James or Sirius or both of them will be black too.“ If James were black and Harry weren’t that would spice up the story a bit too :-D
Im American Jup John.
I have 42 Emma Watsons
following me on Facebook
They imposter's and all want me to buy a membership card. Something has got
to be done about scammers
The black family in hp are racial blood supremacist it wouldnt make sense one part of the family was a different race kinda ruins the point of the family history were Sirius and andromeda are the first non insane members
Hiya everyone!
Hello eden,how are you doing?
Hope all the lovelies here are having a wonderful time and a wonderful day/evening.
Jason isaacs did not side with Rowling, nor did Helena Bonham Carter. They just said that rowling gets us terrible which it is. Two things can be true at once, you can strongly disagree with someone but also believe that they should not have violence threatened against them
Tom Felton and his duck/quack posts on instagram again 🫠🫠 and we all thought he’d stopped with the Emma references! Not just feeding the ducks - he loves to feed a shipper too doesn’t he!
Eden, we already talked the other day about whether Emma had quit acting, and you said (which I also believe) that she hasn’t — she’s just become someone who wants to be more selective.
Obviously, she doesn’t need it to get opportunities, but do you think that with the new HBO Harry Potter series coming out and all the hype that’s bound to happen again, the original cast might get brought back into the spotlight and maybe some new opportunities will pop up?
I don't think more opportunities will come for the old cast because of the HBO series. All it's going to bring in my opinion is constant comparison.
5 years later no physical violence against Rowling meanwhile murder/assault rate of trans and LGBTQ in uk sky rocket maybe condem that but they won't
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/oct/05/record-rise-hate-crimes-transgender-people-reported-england-and-wales hate crimes never been so high but yeah they wanna talk about twitter talk an actual fascist platform they are signed up to and expect people to worry about sock puppets and burner account full of bot farms and AI and no proof it's even a real threat when their threats have become very real world attacks against minorities
Well at least other people are safe....oh wait the prime minister just adopted all the rhetoric of extremists nigel Farage...uk is going great :(
Disagree
Guys if there were any credible threats to JKR she would have it in court so fast and win easily due to no free speech law in UK or at least very little protections unlike the USA,
its a very 'cry bully' move where peoples lives you are ruining stand up for themselves then the bully cries to the authorities about people being mean to them
The UK's free speech laws are actually very similar to America's. The first amendment only applies to government restrictions on speech, tort law on speech was largely borrowed from English common law. And libel laws in the UK are notoriously strict and difficult to sue over.
Yeah, that’s exactly what I meant. More comparison means more exposure, more exposure means more buzz, and the way the industry works, more buzz usually means more visibility (and money).
Comparisons are never fun—especially with all the controversy around JKR—and if the original cast has more positive visibility, don’t you think there’s a chance that some productions might start to “remember” those actors?
i dont think so tbh rowling has forced uk twitter users to publically apologise and delete posts under legal threat but has been unable to do anything about similar posts by americans
You're making hope, stop it! XD Maybe you're right but the fans will have to do the work then. If studios see an actor getting a lot of attention they might be interested.
The only instances of that I can find are of physical threats, which are also illegal in the US.
If you've seen her go after UK users it's more likely because she's from the UK, so twitter's algorithm is more likely to show her tweets from UK users.
You're right Eden. Hopefully it will be *her* and in juxtaposition *our* year to shine again. If she's up to it, of course. That would be amazing.
I don't appear as an anonymous anymore? That's nice!
She was claiming nazis didnt destroy ww2 literature about LGBTQ people and people called her a war crime denier and she eventually forced certain users to delete these claims over legal action while they could have won in court they would be bankrupt fighting a legal case against a billionaire so likely back down due to this US users who made similar statements could not have anything done to them and their posts are still up
That would be defamation and would have had standing in both a US civil court and an English county court, it's not protect by free speech laws anywhere. Intentionally spreading (even potential) falsehoods is actionable and not the same as just saying something mean about someone.
it wasnt defamation when she is factually incorrect https://www.advocate.com/transgender/jk-rowling-nazis-persecuted-transgender
She was wrong though? The destruction of research about lgbt people is well documented historical fact its only defamation if its a false claim https://www.teenvogue.com/story/lgbtq-institute-in-germany-was-burned-down-by-nazis
Denying Nazi crimes is actually actionable in Germany if someone wanted to sue her from there, btw
Hmm, the US has something called defamation per se, by itself, meaning you don't have to prove that your reputation was harmed, it's just assumed. In some states accusing someone of denying nazi war crimes would be defamation per se.
It wasn't a falsehood she literally denied these crimes publically repeatedly
you need to be on German soil saying these things for anything to happen pretty sure, although other countries also will definitely be on your ass if you deny crimes that happened in your region in WW2
wow somehow missed any of that.... she really went off the deep end huh
It's about whether she could threaten to sue them for claiming it.
can you even damage the reputation of someone whose name is already mud?
Tort law is very particular. She didn't actually deny that the nazis did it, she only claimed the person didn't check their sources. She could also claim that burning books isn't a legally accepted war crime.
To be clear I'm not defending her in any way, I'm just saying that based on this she would have standing to sue in the US and the UK.
Good evening eden and good evening all the lovelies.
Hope everybody is doing amazing here and hope you are too eden.
This was just an update post just to be clear,cause it's my birthday today,was a little caught up in my academics and with the balls(yes,the ball as in the annually ball) going on(may is filled with those at oxford) and the day was super busy.
Just hope everybody including eden is having a wonderful time and are healthy and well.
Take care lovelies
❤️
I just love all this fascinating discussion about Emma.
Tommy boy you cheeky git😂
Of course he doesn't give up on feeding the shippers
Happy birthday! :D
Happy birthday!! If you see Emma at the ball say hi haha
Thanks mate and thank you eden.
Oh mate,it would be an absolute dream come true if she could be at one of the balls,the whole place would go absolutely monkeycrap.
Happy Birthday 🥰✨🎉
He doesn’t even try to hide it 😆
Lol can someone explain this to me? What does him feeding some ducks have to do with the shippers?
He didn't duck when she punched him.
I don't know.
With the pink dress from goblet of fire
Basically what I’ve gathered is that Tom associates ducks with Emma or something like that…at least Feltson shippers seem to think so. Which is a round about way of calling Emma a bird/chick or something like that 🤷🏻♀️
He calls Emma his ‘favourite duck’ and long ago she replied to an Instagram post he’d made about ducks with ‘quack quack’ so it’s obviously some kind of in joke between them! Some of his fans call themselves ‘ducklings’ and he likes a good duck reference now to remind everyone of his friendship with Emma 🤗
Cringe
Is this blog about Tom Felton? why people keep talking that much about him? I swear to God is not that interesting 😢
For a very long time, everyone guessed when Tom referred to duck(s) he meant Emma/him & Emma. She basically confirmed this several years ago with the quack quack and duck emoji back at him. But Tom explained it in his book, that when they were youngish teenagers Emma was struggling a bit and came to visit him at his parents and they went for a walk by the lake, and that Emma was struggling to articulate how she felt, and looked out onto the lake with birds and explained it was if the whole world want her to be a particular bird (she maybe said swan) but she’s not a swan she’s a duck, so when she’s quacking but they don’t understand her and are telling her to stop it, and she looked at him and said she felt she’s now met another duck, because he understands her. I’m being pretty brief but it was like that
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wqX0p2LqDww he explains it a bit here
That’s actually really lovely! That is true friendship to be able to open up together like that.
I don’t understand it, I don’t get why they haven’t just tried it out? If you love and care for someone like they do, soulmates, why wouldn’t you give it a try? Tom seems to have so much of his life wrapped around Emma, always little mentions of her - ducks, dropping Emma’s name and talking about dranmione at any opportunity, his mentions of her in his book, the ‘22’ in his username… the guy is surely in love? What keeps them apart 😩
There’s not much else to talk about in relation to Emma at the moment
Do you think he’s really in another relationship? Surely he’s lying to himself
Do you think Tom Felton is the reason Emma has never settled down married and had kids? I know that she says she only liked him when she was 10-12, but it makes you wonder if she’s somehow waiting on him?
Maybe because she has no interest in him like that? She had a crush on an older skater boy type when she was 10, you get over stuff like that.
Have Emma ever followed Tom on Instagram? I know he does and she doesn't, but it was like that since always?
I always thought that who had a more special relationship were Emma and Dan, but neither any of those two relationships matter anymore now
Honestly I personally always thought she was closer to Rupert than Tom or Dan growing up. It’s just that Emma and Dan had a more similar vibe to each other than Rupert.
Here something was said about Leo's jealousy
I can also say that Mack was a drug lord.
There were definitely lots of photos of Emma and Dan holding hands, linking fingers and appearing very close at the Prisoner of Azkaban premier.
True. Good old times. There was a different vibe between those two during PoA and GoF, still remember that press conference in Tokyo where she said that "I genuinely like him". I've always wandered if something between them really happened (they were really close until the very end of the saga).
I've watched again lately all the movies and sure there was something enchantingly beautiful between them two (don't know if I'm the only one who felt and still think that way).
Renais had a 2nd birthday party yesterday. Has anyone spotted Emma in one of the videos? Or has anyone heard if she was there? I can spot her Dad in one IG story.
What does the 22 in his username mean? How does that relate to Emma?
emma and dan were also seen on a date on valentines day in 2007 or some year like that
It’s his birthday (22nd of Sept) but also relates to the ‘2 little ducks’ they call out in bingo which is number 22 x
Do you mean Emma and Dan? Yes I’ve always thought so. I know everyone’s always shipped Emma with Tom, and the photos of them at Prisoner of Azkaban’s premier are sweet but he was with Melissa at the time and openly admitted having a girlfriend - Melissa was actually there at the premier! There’s very sweet photos of Emma and Dan dancing, leaning close to each other and holding hands with their fingers entwined and whispering together. They had something sweet about them during PoA, especially during the time turner scenes, and the behind the scenes shows her pushing his hair aside to look at his ‘scar’ and cuddling up close to him in lots of shots.
There was definitely emotion there in the dancing scene in the tent during deathly hallows, it wasn’t just acting. And during that kiss! Emma didn’t kiss Rupert like that 🙈 I know she’s said how embarrassing it was, etc etc, like kissing a brother etc, but Daniel seems to look back on it rather fondly 🤣 about how passionate she was! He’s so funny, really cracks me up!
Eden, quick question — since you’ve been following Emma’s career for ages (tirelessly, I might add — didn’t you start the blog back in 2012?), would it be okay if I sent you a short piece I wrote somewhere? I’d really love to hear what you think. It’s not long.
True! I also think they had something in PoA; but they were kids, it couldn't be anything serious.
I remember it got to the point that people were out right asking if they were dating. But to me it always struck me as two really anxious teens taking comfort/ grounding each other in stressful situations. While Rupert seemed like the shoulder for both of them to lean on (almost like he stepped into the older brother role). Because maybe it’s just me but the trio seemed to have really put a united front ever since PoA. It’s not like they didn’t seem united in the first two, but from the PoA era until part 2 there was definitely a shift. As adults Emma and Dan still have an anxious energy to me (but not a nervous one) if that makes any sense. Almost like they’re senior surgeons who still get nervous about complex surgeries but they know exactly how to preform them. And in the reunion (I know the three of them didn’t film together) Rupert still had an older brother energy about him (even with the editing). Especially when it came to Emma, and how quickly he realized she was holding back tears.
Tom hasn’t been wearing the ring on his wedding finger recently, maybe the rumours that he broke up with Roxanne are true?
Sure. Post it here, I won't publish it if you don't want me to.
Even if they did it probably won’t even last long, as they’ve always been on and off anyways 🤷🏻♀️
About the reunion, that's what I also heard. Why didn't they film it together? What happened?
And about their relationship, I too think that Rupert had that older brother vibe, calm and relaxed, but dunno about the other two. It seemed to me that they were something else, the interviews, BTS, etc and that continued from PoA (where I can understand the premise of two anxious teens) until the very end.
I don't know what kind of relationship they two have nowadays but they sure had something beautiful during a lot of time (love, friendship, who knows)
It‘s actually a bit deeper than that. When they were teens and on a filming break Emma visited Tom in Surrey. They went for a long walk and she told him how she felt she were different from others. She said that everyone wanted her to be a chicken and to mingle with the other chicken but that she felt that she didn’t belong because she was actually a duck. So she basically started the duck thing and then the duck thing became Emma and Toms thing where they used to comment „quack“ on eachothers posts. It‘s quite a personal story that he shared in his book - but since she read the book before it was published she was obviously okay with him sharing it.
Romantic love isn‘t the only kind of love! And it is not necessarily „better“ than platonic love.
For many people „Valentines Day“ is simply 14. February.
What makes you think that she wants to get married? What makes you think she wants to have children? There is nothing wrong with marriage and children but not every woman wants that. You can have a wonderful life without a ring and a baby.
Basically there was scheduling issues and they couldn’t get the trio in the same room (if recall correctly, it was due to Rupert being in the middle of filming for The Servant).From my understanding Emma flew out to Canada to film with Rupert and then she filmed with Dan in London at a later date. It might have been the other way around though. Anyways Emma and Dan were reacting to what she and Rupert had filmed together. Then it was edited to make it look like the trio were in the same room (they even built a replica set in Canada for Rupert and Emma). What I do know is that Emma Dan and Tom later went out for dinner the day that Emma and Dan filmed together, (for Feltson shippers, she was very much still with Leo at the time) they got a private table and came/left through the kitchen.
She was dating Brandon Greene by that point, it was filmed in late fall of that year.
