And again, you act like they took her from an a cup to a d.  Hardly.  Had you
not seen the other imagine no one would have cared, it was not blatantly sexual.

Why does enhancing her bust at all advance the Harry Potter franchise? It seems
like such a mercenary and venal thing. What's next, enhancing Harry's package?
Doesn't the HP brand already speak for itself without such adolescent
'enhancement?'

Not really, that second image is fairly true to her.  They did not enhance it
hugely, which no one seems to want to admit.

I realize you're responding specifically to Mike here, but for my part, I'd like
to point out that they're sexualizing the marketing of the film, not Watson, per
se. Obviously, as a female past puberty, she's a sexual creature, and there's no
reason to try to *hide* any aspect of that or be ashamed of it.

The question becomes whether it's ok to sexualize her image (a) in a way that
unnecessarily exceeds her natural form, (b) in the marketing of a film primarily
targeted at children, and (c) in a way that would cause me to be disappointed if
I ever found myself in an intimate situation with Ms. Watson.
