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.

61. Strike that Emma is a class act. Good Show young Lady.

62. Well, it's about damn time. Finally, someone who isn't corrupted is getting credit for being mature- or so I hope that's why TMZ covered this...though 'much to learn' does seem a little condesending to what this story SHOULD represent. Seems to me, Emma knew more than enough to not lower her standards for idiots. Go you.

63. Ever since the first film, have been hoping that someone would do something with her hair.
Tacky, I know, as there is nothing "wrong" with it.
It's just that the "part" is so extremely on the left side, that it appears unnatural. Emma has a natural beauty about her, so that extreme part catches my eyes off-guard.

64. She doen't have a lot to learn . . . she just hs more class than her American counter parts, Lindsay L. and Britany S. I think others should follow her example. I say, "Way to go Emma!"

65. Good Job I wouldn't have done it any diffrently.

66. SHE has a lot to learn? It would appear she could teach us a few lessons. She is an absolute delight on and off screen. I would give my life for my son to marry a girl like her. BRAVO, EMMA!

FYI - SLUTS ARE A DIME A DOZEN - Ladies are rarer than hen's teeth. May Emma Watson replace all the Paris Hilton's of the world and return us to a period of class, grace and elegance. I am frankly tired of women showing us all they have in the first 20 minutes of their professional lives.

67. I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books and movies, so I love the idea that Emma has enough class and is sophisticated enough to say no to what the paparazzi were asking. She definitely has my respect, which is different because so many other actresses have lost it for their behavior.

68. It's refreshing to see a young actress be classy for a change. She's a beautiful girl and the sky is the limit for her...as long as she makes the right decisions, professionally and personally.

69. Why does TMZ act like she was naive or unsophisticated for not flipping off for the cameras? Does TMZ consider the likes of Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton "mature." They might make "mature" videos, but they are far from mature. I'm not even a Harry Potter fan...never read a book or seen a movie, but this girl will have a long career if doesn't fall for the pitfalls of Hollywood...classic beauty combined with a good head on her shoulders will equal success. What next...will the photogs ask her to forget to wear her panties and get out of a car? Geez.

71. The saddest part of all is that someone famous NOT flipping off the paparazzi (who granted in many cases sorely deserve it even when they don't request it) is the part that's making news.

72. Saw her on Conan O'Brian last night. She'e so adorable. Obviously has a lot of class also by not giving in to the idiot paparazzi. Then we would be reading about how crude she was to photographers.
I just hope she can stay a classy little doll and not turn out like trailer trash (i.e.:Hilton, Spears and Lohan).
Hats off to you Emma...a real lady!

74. c'mon, not all american girls flip the finger, drink like fish, and act like whores. i never do this and nobody else that i know do this either. what makes you think the people in england don't call their women bitches and hos? actually, they have far worse words that they use and far better ones too, just like here in america. they have cheap women, gays, and drunken bums too in england. stop saying that american's are worse, they're not, but the people that you hang with are probably the low class trashy type so you think everyone here is like your peers. move to england if you think it's better...we won't miss you a bit.
