Hermione Won't Flip the Bird

Emma Watson's on her way to being a starlet ... but she's not ready to flip-off the paparazzi -- yet.

TMZ cameras spotted the "Harry Potter" teenage witch shopping at celeb favorite Kitson on uber-trendy Robertson Blvd. yesterday, where she was quick to throw a wave to photogs snapping her pic. When a few cameramen started asking her to give them the finger, Watson just kept smiling, clearly not understanding the thick American accents of the photogs.

Maria Menounos, who was doing an interview with Watson, explained what paps were asking her to do, and Emma cracked up, shaking her head and saying, "No!!"

She's still got a lot to learn.

16. Yup. Classy, cute and mature. No wonder she ends up in the FANTASIES of puerile little boys like John and Spanky. As if these two aren't always ALONE when they're having sex. Dream on, boys.

17. I hope the Potter kids dont turn into Hilton,Spears,and Lohan. It will be a sad waste of talent if that happens

18. I am glad also, chances are they would have twisted it around and made her out to be crazy or something!! Kudos to you Emma for not giving in to America's over zealous paparazzi!! They will only drag you and your innocence through the mud and make you into something you're not!! Leave it a young lady to teach these trashies, what real woman should act like. Lindsay, Nicole, Paris, and all of you who know you are trash, you need to spluge and buy you a notebook and a pen and jot some notes on, COUTH!!!!

20. well now we all know where all those pictures come from in the tabloids.... the photographers are the instigators. so if all the celebs. would just not listen to them, there would never be any of that garbage to report. Seriously can you imagine what the story would be if she did flip them off. it would totally get twisted! She is at least one celebrity we can feel comfortable looking up to! good for her!!

22. Good job. People are so out of it these days. Paparazzi is SO overrated anyway. Try as hard as you can to avoid them. (tabloids) UGH!

23. Good for her. You know that the paparrazzi only wanted to get photos of her doing a rude jesture so they could manipulate and write a story about her being a brat and ungrateful, etc.

25. I don't understand why someone would want to see such a cute girl do something so trashy. Grow up America!

26. Thanks for being a great example, Emma. Your parents are probably very proud that they raised a girl who is as classy as she is talented and beautiful. I have a little girl who is six years old and thinks you are great! Thanks for being someone worthy of her admiration.

It would appear our obnoxious breed of American starlets could take lessons from her having grace and upholding her standards.

Bravo, Emma!

27. I am proud that Emma stood up to the reporters and stood her ground. And I am ashamed of the reporters. Reporters like that need to be banned and stricken from news rooms and their work needs to be relagated to trash can by every magazine editor. They manipulate scenes and make things seem to be something they aren't. They distort the news. Shame on them just as much as praise for her!!!!

28. Fantastic, Emma. Thanks for not disappointing me; I would have hated to see my role model behave any other way. ♥

29. Finally, a REAL role model for our girls. She's clearly a beautiful young lady outside and inside.

30. By listening to Emma on the interviews I can tell that she is a sweet girl. Somehow I can't help but feeling sad for her knowing that Hollywood has poisoned so many young lives in the name of art and forcing young celibrities to push the envelope as they say in order to get a head. Emma, keep a good head on you shoulders and always do the right thing.
