Emma Watson, a Child? Harry Potter Star Mistaken for "Unaccompanied Minor" by Airport Security

In Hollywood, a youthful look is an asset. In the line at airport security, not so much.

It's a lesson Emma Watson found out the hard, somewhat embarrassing way, as the erstwhile Harry Potter star took to Twitter to reveal that a member of the TSA stopped held up her recent holiday journey after being convinced that she was a child.

Make that, a very young child, in need of a parent to travel with.

"Passport control: 'unaccompanied minor?' Me: 'sorry?' Passport control: 'where is ur guardian?' Me: 'I'm 22!!!!!!! #neverwearingabackpackagain."

Clearly, that particular agent wasn't a Hermione fan. Well, at least the Brit—proving she's ever bit an adult on the current cover of Marie Claire, incidentally—has a sense of humor about it.

Ahh, being mistaken for an unaccompanied minor...brings back movie theater ticket buying memories and being carded at the Greek Town Casino for looking 18...

I'm amazed they didn't put her through the electronic striptease machine.

"#neverwearingabackpackagain" hah

I thought unaccompanied minors were the ones you offered the free candy and the free in the back of your windowless van to , not detain them... dang under trained TSA staff!

Although if someone showed me that photo (and I didn't already know any better) and told me she was 13 I'd have no reason to doubt them. Although not the picture that ER links to in her post (Lancome).

Reminds me, I"ve yet to read any of the Potter books, despite the , count em... last four gfs having read and suggested I read them. I almost started three times and just got side tracked.

LOL this use too happen to me. When I was in my 20's and dating my now husband, people thought he was my father. I was waiting in the car at a gas station once and the lady working there said to him "you and your daughter have a nice day." When I would go to the grocery store and write a check out for my groceries the cashier would ask me if my mother was in the store and is this her check book you have? People selling things door to door would knock on my apartment door and when I would answer they would ask me if my mother was there. To which I would just say no and they would leave and not try to sell me anything. It was very annoying at the time and a bit of a pain.
