It appears she said at the BAFTAs 'I am here for all of the witches... bar one'

Disappointing but not unexpected.

Urgh

She thinks she's so clever doesn't she? I cant stand her. Pathetic attempt to "come for JKR" Angry

I’m curious why many posters on here often find views they don’t agree with “disappointing” or similar. Genuinely bizarre that any grown up would object to other person politely articulating a genuine view.

This is what actually happened

Classy. Gets her in the news again though doesn't it? Wouldn't have been mentioned otherwise.

NotTerfNorCis · 15/03/2022 07:43

Does she really say 'bar one'? She kind of swallows it. 'All of the witches', okay, that's her political viewpoint. But excluding JK is plain spiteful.

I don't see how that screenshot explains anything unless I am missing the point?

mocktail · 15/03/2022 07:44

I don't think she said "bar one" did she?

mocktail · 15/03/2022 07:46

I think it might have been "everyone".

It looked like she mouthed it at the end of what she said

“Hate to break this one to you but, as an Ivy League alumnus, I’m going to take a punt she’s a damn lot more intelligent than most of the posters here.”

I suspect she’s just a damn sight richer.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 15/03/2022 07:48

There's a lot to get cross about but (imho) clickbait comments like this really don't seem that important. Confused

ItWasPeculiarButBearable · 15/03/2022 07:49

She glances down and smirks as she mouths ‘bar one’. It’s pretty clear when you watch, rather than listen to it.

If she’s going to say it I wish she’d just own it and come out with it.

You ain’t frum round here, are ye?

She's a supremely shit actress anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️

Shes very very rich, she paid her way in like many many others.

The but one was very unnecessary

Tell that to the other side. They’re the ones who send the death and rape threats. Anyway, is calling a woman a witch “politely articulating a genuine view”?

I (genuinely) don’t care what Emma Watson believes about anything, and me being slightly irritated that she’s pandering to the mob over JKR (who gets enough undeserved shit as it is because people don’t bother to check what she actually wrote) doesn’t mean I wouldn’t defend her right to say what she thinks.

Alumna. If you use Latin, get it right.
