If you attempted to visit the site earlier today and were unable to get to it – no fear, we’re back! There was a bit of host downtime but all is well now.
Emma’s official site has been updated, promising that “phase two” of the website will come soon and also reminding us that Emma is scheduled to be at the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DVD launch today! Exciting, huh? Can’t wait to have those pictures up!
Sparkly! has been updated a bit with some miscellaneous icons! Thanks to Cassandra for her generous donations, available here. If you have any icons, wallpapers, banners, animations, or anything else you’ve made, feel welcome to send those in as well and we’ll be delighted to add them to the site!

The Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards were on last night (27 October) where Emma received her award. Hopefully some of you lucky Britons managed to catch it.
Anyway, I felt extremely productive today and made five new .gifs for the site. They are otherwise known as animations and you can check them out here. If you ever wonder why you love Emma you should check out her interviews. I had such a good time going through some old videos. She’s so adorable!
Oh, and also, I updated the icons section with so many new icons – in every category. Most of the icons have been stored on my computer for months, and I just thought I would put them up. I swear, one day I will go through all of my icons and get rid of the ugly ones (which is about 90% since what I like changes all the time), but for now you can just enjoy the variety, eh?
EDIT! Yellow, dears! Thanks to the lovely Juliet we now have those wanted pictures of Emma at the OotP Press Conference. These are all lovely, HQ and best of all, untagged! Huzzah! Let’s party down, yes?

EDIT! Me again. I’ve added the ihw.net corkboard, with things such as last uploads, featured graphics, calenders and to-do list. Just a little thing to keep you guys informed of the stuff we are yet to do, and the stuff we have done, as well as showcasing our fabulous donators and graphic makers! The link is to the left, just under the navigation. – Kaetlyn
EDIT! First off, thanks to Ameigh for letting us know about two videos of Emma at the Kid’s Choice Awards shown on Disney UK yesterday. You can see her accepting her award here, and presenting here. Thanks also to EWnet, who found a new nine-minute press junket interview with Emma you can check out on their YouTube here.
Speaking of interviews, we’re bringing yet another new feature of I♥Watson to you today! The IHW press archive is making it’s grand debut.

The gorgeous layout was created by Kaetlyn and the archive is powered by WordPress just like our news system. If you find any articles that aren’t in there now that you’d really like to be up, let us know by posting them in the comments or emailing staff@iheartwatson.net. For now, we’ll just be scouring the web for every article we can find! If you have a transcription from any audio or video interviews with Emma, please do let us know and it’d be totally awesome if we could add them! Thank you, and enjoy! – Allison

EDIT: Emma’s official site has been updated to let us know that she presented a Special Recognition award to Jo Rowling this evening at the Pride of Britain awards and that she’ll be attending the first ever UK Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice awards on October 20th! Check that all out here and stay tuned for photos! There’s a few on Getty right here and we’ll get them in HQ as soon as we possibly can. Thanks to Amy, by the way, for her speedy comments!
We’ve been wandering through the Emma section and extended-facts sections updating with bits and pieces of new information here and there. Check out the current looks/last sighting snapshot, essentially Emma biography, extended biography, family info page (this one’s particularly interesting to me, check out the pictures of her family!), awards list (I certainly didn’t know she had such an impressive list!), and various hairstyles. If you have a question about Emma – anything at all that you’ve always been curious about! – now’s a great time to ask! Leave a comment on this post or drop us an email and we’ll do our best to find the answer for you.
A big thanks goes out to Caitlin, who’s been helping Karly out with the Style Files! She’s added many more exact matches together with Karly and the list really is super-impressive, as are their style guides.
Kudos to my staffmates for being so awesome about updating all these sometimes-mundane pages! These are what really make the site for me but they’re the ones who’ve put in the work to carefully gather and work on images to provide a thorough look at Emma through the years. I say give them a round of applause!
I’ve also gone kind of crazy with Order of the Phoenix press conference pictures, adding some 45 new photos from the July conference, both high and medium quality! I was so excited to find these as I think they’re particularly pretty ones of Emma.

I’ve updated Sparkly! with some twenty or so icons by Kaetlyn throughout various sections. I’m quite a fan of Kaetlyn’s graphics, do check them out as her icons are always quite gorgeous and there’s some awesome ones in this batch!

Speaking of icons, two-thumbs up to the contestants currently participating in the first round of Watson LIMs! All the entries were gorgeous and I’m excited to keep up with this round. The second challenge began yesterday and ends Friday, so check out the community this weekend to vote for your favorites and cheer them all on!
Emma is scheduled to appear at the Pride of Britain awards this evening so stay tuned as we’ll have high quality/high resolution images and event information up for you as soon as it’s possibly available!
P.S. We’ve got our usual news system back, hurrah! You’ll eventually notice some small improvements in the way it works, but I do apologize for the lost comments! The comment system will continue to be moderated so that your comment must be approved if you are posting with a name and email address that does not have a previously approved comment to it. If you don’t see your comment pop up right away, don’t freak out, it should be there soon!
Emma’s official site has been updated by the webmiss, Jo, with some cute comments about Emma’s younger siblings. Apparently, her younger sisters are also going to be in Ballet Shoes this December – check out the site to find out more!
Kaetlyn! For all you icon makers out here, we’ve opened a LIMS challenge (Last Icon Maker Standing) over at Livejournal. Yes, you must have a livejournal, but no, it does not have to be active! So go on and sign up! First challenge will be posted when we have 15 entrants.
