A PUBLICITY shot of Emma Watson (Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films) has raised a stink with fans across the globe recently when it was discovered that her assets had been electronically-enhanced to give her a smaller waste and larger breasts.
Computer enhancements are nothing new as big-breasted women seem to be the best way to sell anything from chewing gum to newspapers but when you take into consideration that Emma (herself only 17) is playing a 15-year-old girl in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix it starts to verge, not only on the ridiculous, but more pointedly, on the perverse.
Though the Harry Potter books and films are entertaining and largely addictive to all age groups, it’s worth baring in mind that they’re primarily for the younger generation, where the size of an adolescent girl’s breasts should be the last thing on anyone’s mind and I can’t help feeling a little sick at what must have been going through the mind of the pervert that first thought that an underage girl wasn’t big enough in the chest department.
Apart from anything else, the pressure to be thinner, blonder, curvier, prettier has reached ridiculous heights in the world we live in, with the young thinking that to be beautiful you have to look like the size 0 models in the pages of magazines.
Now the message is being sent that by the time you reach the age of 15 you should be worried if yours breasts aren’t the size of watermelons.
