   One thing Rowling knows how to do is lie with a straight face. The   
   article where she claims to have picked Klokes because of his "Emma is   
   my fav" comment is old fluff being rehashed as new fluff.   
      
   I have no doubt that Rowling = Hermione and I have less doubt that she   
   was thrilled with Emma's portrayal which won over the little girlies.   
   Not the quality, there wasn't much chance for freelance acting, but   
   what came across the screen.

   I can read, I lurk, I got kicked out for not playing like a girl.   
   Rowling ought to give Emma several million in thanks. Bet she won't.
