I found this when I logged on to Comcast to check my email, under the video section. It was labelled "Emma Watson Rips Twilight", so of course, I squeed, sent my thanks to the HP actress, and clicked on it. Emma apparently says that she's not into the Twilight thing, because it's too sexy. Then, the reporter turns it, and says that "Oh, btw, Emma's just fine with her own upcoming smooches with Ron with the Deathly Hallow's movies, and Emma is quoted as saying that "It's been building up over all the movies, it's not like we're trying to sell sex." Well, to THAT, the reporter says...of ALL things... "Wow, can you say, double standard, Emma? I wonder what KStew would have to say to that!(inserted pissed off cat howl)" *FACEPALM* Are you F****ING kidding me. Emma makes a solid point here. Twilight, IS based on sex. It IS selling sex. It's pretty much the only thing going for that, and even then the sex it sells is just so horrible anyway. HOW can this dumbass call it a double standard when Ron and Hermione's relationship is completely, fundamentally and thematically DIFFERENT from Bella and Edward's? Ron and Hermione's is a romance that has been VERY steadily building and progressing over the last 6 movies, and is only small part of a story that is a much wider and grander scope than awkward teenage romance. Twilight is about two dumb teenagers who decide they're undeniably in TWU WUV a whole damn 2 weeks after they meet each other and the story resolves around their poorly written sexual tension, with Bella being a little horndog who wants in a sparklepires pants for MUCH of the series save for maybe a few pages in the beginning before she sees his sparkling glory. There's no double standard about it. Just freakin' facts; Harry Potter kicks Twilight's a**. Hermione > Bella. Ron/Hermione >>>>> Bella/Edward. JK Rowling beats Meyer and hangs her out to dry. And a romantic, long-time coming kiss is not the same as two lust-drunk teenagers alternating between slobbering all over each other and arguing/angsting over the fate of one or both of their souls. This is elementary, my dear children. I think the reporter chick might have to be a twitard for this to make sense to her. Also, I doubt KStew would care. Emma Watson, you rock. I do so love you. Reporter chick? GFY.

Holy s**t man... D:
I have even more respect for Emma.
The reporters logic makes no sense, her words oozed Twitard, so i wouldnt be surprised if she was a fan. Denying the truth won't make it go away reporter. D< All Twilight is, is angsty teen sexual tension.
*facepalm*
You rock Emma. heart

You are so right and so is Emma Watson.
Ron and Hermione have so much more going for their relationship than lust. They actually know each other and have shared a lot of good and bad experiences.
Watson is NOT a hypocrite.

Watson is NOT a hypocrite. Right? They have hundreds of other good reasons for them becoming involved other than "I'm pretty and you smell delicious, lets make babies."
They meet when they're young, and start out as friends. Over the years they STAY friends and develop that witty banter that's so iconic of their relationship. And EVENTUALLY it leads to awkward infatuation and then to love. I mean, that's how it works in the real world, and that's how it worked with my Husband and me. We've known each other since we were 13, never really kissed until we were 16, and we even had our own bumps in the road I think around 17, and are now 22 and happily married.
It's one of the reasons Twilight gets me a little riled, because...Not only are their reasons for their romance completely stupid, but it's also so unrealistic to just see a guy, instantly become obsessed with him, him become obsessed with you, and in a fortnight you both, one of you being a "monster" that stalks the other, decide you're completely, one hundred percent perfect for each other and will live happily ever after in the happy realm of TWU WUV. (Not to mention its stupid from a literary standpoint, where's the damn buildup? Most of the 4 books are either her pining over Edward or trying not to pine over Jacob. Only idiots WOULD want to sit through all that. Ron and Hermione is so satisfying and lovable because it covers SO many states and takes time to come to fruition.)
I believe in true love, don't get me wrong...In fact I think I found it early in life, and for that I'm lucky. But the fairy tale version and even moreso Meyer's interpertation of it? Yeah. RIGHT. Try compatibility. Try chemistry. There's more to true love than just seeing a drop-dead gorgeous guy who thinks you smell like an entree.
This is something Rowling understands, and Meyer is still in her stupid little bubble, rejecting like she does all the c riticism of her books.

kissing gingers = yes, please; gingers are just awesome
anything with a 100+ year old ***** = hell no, run away fast
Ron/Hermione isn't my absolute favorite pairing ever from the Harry Potter books, but I don't hate it either as it works. They're the two dorky kids, who hang out together and are never cool even though they're both BFFs with Harry Potter himself. Ron comes from a poor family that is viewed as blood traitors, while Hermione's muggleborn status [on top of being a nerd with frizzy hair and bucked teeth until book three] makes her unattractive to a lot of characters.
It just makes sense that they will only become closer to each other over time but what is better is that they don't automatically hook up with each other either.
Ron dated Lavender Brown for a while. Hermione earned the affections of Viktor Krum, who was attracted to her most likely because she was the only girl who wasn't hounding him, but that ended in them only becoming very good friends. They both act a bit jealous when they see the other with someone else and don't immediately figure out why either.

One of the million reasons Rowling is a better writer.

Things like that actually require thought- characterization and plot, both of which Twilight lacks, and Meyer lacks the skills to pull off. I'm reporter sounds like a total Twitard who threw out the first argument that popped into her head- whether it made sense or not.

I thought Twilight was about doing drugs, and a boy trying to confess to a stalker girl that he's gay??

But Edward and Bella have the strongest and deepest bond of any relationship, anywhere. Their love is what every housewife truly deserves and needs.

I love Emma.
