Emma Watson harrassed by JFK passport official
The blogosphere is buzzing with news that Harry Potter actress Emma Watson, who was arriving in New York over the holidays was questioned by passport control officials at JFK as to the whereabouts of her guardian and why the "unaccompanied minor" was travelling alone.
Watson, who is 22 and who was indeed travelling alone Tweeted:
"Passport control:’unaccompanied minor?’ Me:’sorry?’ Passport control:’where is ur guardian?’ Me:’I’m 22!!!!!!!"
Most airports consider minors to be children under the age of 12.
And we thought you were all grown up, Hermoine.
