Who’re you calling minor? Emma Watson may be known for her youthful good looks, but this is a bit much. The Harry Pot- ter star was singled out at New York’s JFK airport where officials, thinking she was under 12, told her she should be in the company of an adult.
The actor’s tweet about the inci- dent had the hashtag: “#neverwearingback- packagain.” Watson was returning to the U.S. to continue studies at Brown University after a stint in Zambia with the British charity Camfed. “The really sad thing is that this is not the first time this has happened,” she added.
