Is it a bad spell for Hermione? Emma has ‘tattoo malfunction’
SHE is the right-on star with a degree in English Literature from Brown University – one of America’s most prestigious seats of learning.
But it seems that basic grammar caught out Emma Watson at the Oscars, as she showed off her new political tattoo with a rather glaring error.
The British Harry Potter star, 27, posed in a sleeveless black gown, clearly hoping to make a statement with the message embazoned on her right arm.
But the tattoo – a nod to the Time’s Up movement to end sexual harassment – read ‘Times Up’, missing out the crucial apostrophe.
Luckily for Ms Watson, who played Hermione in the magical film franchise, the legend is just a stick-on. A viewer commented online: ‘Times Up? Without an apostrophe? Might want to look into a refund for that Brown University bachelor’s degree in English Literature.’
A source close to the star confirmed the tattoo was temporary, but refused to elaborate.
