Emma Watson to Harvard Voice: "Rictusempra!"

The Harvard Voice was really excited when it realized that the Harvard-Brown football game might mean a visit from "Harry Potter" actress Emma Watson. And so the Voice live blogged, all night long. Well, it didn't really blog about any actual sightings of Watson for quite some time, but rather more about its increasing desire to see her. And finally, the Voice saw the crown jewel of England in person. And took a picture. That was when the Voice got in trouble.

The student publication is battling media accusations that it strategically planned to stalk Watson during the night game last week. Here's a title that cuts to the chase: “Harvard Jerks Stalked Emma.” The New York Post article, which was published yesterday, accuses the Voice of trying to "draw as much attention to [Watson] as possible" with its live blog updates and its blurry photograph of her leaving the Harvard stadium. Watson was supposedly "quite shaken," as security guards tried to protect her from a crowd of stalkers, the Post reported in a brief on Tuesday.

So what actually happened? Did the Voice unleash its staffers onto Harvard stadium in vigilant search of Watson? Well, Alisha D. Ramos ’12, editor-in-chief of The Voice, posted an official response to the situation on the Voice blog yesterday afternoon, denying accusations that the publication planned to harrass Watson.
