2007:

Emma Watson and Evanna Lynch, as Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood, respectively, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Granted, admiring any or all of their eye-candy-like attributes was vaguely illegal in this country at the time (with Lynch, it still is).

But I was genuinely thrilled by their work in the film, my favorite of the Potter series to date.

All this, and brains too:

Watson...recorded straight As in her three levels.


Or SATs, as we in America might call them. Good, maybe now she can get a scholarship if she can't afford to go to the University of her choice.

Watson and Lynch will return in the cast of Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, the release of which has been delayed, officially for strategic, post-writers strike reasons.

Though there has been tittle to the effect that Warner Bros would like a little distance between their film appearing in cinemas and Daniel Radcliffe's penis appearing on Broadway.
