Emma Watson is the actress famous for playing Hermione in the “Harry Potter” movies. Over the years, she's forged an image as a talented yet humble actress, who is very beautiful and very classy. She has also gained cult following on the internet and she is one of the most sought-after actresses in terms of intimate leaks, simply because she often refrains from showing skin in public.

The British tabloid the Mirror is saying that Emma Watson, the cute young actress who has been trying too hard to stay out of the spotlight lately, is going to be the latest victim in the latest round of the Celebgate scandal.

Hackers threaten to leak Emma Watson intimate photos in 4 days

Some hackers who are believed to be the source of all the leaked material that has been published on the internet these days are claiming that in 4 days' time they will leak private photos of Emma Watson.

The threat was made in the form of a photo. In it, Emma's face can be seen floating next to a timer. While Emma is wiping a tear away, the countdown on the timer reads “04 days 15:40:23.” On the bottom of the screen, a warning stands written in bold letters “Never forget, the biggest tom come thus far.”

So far, Emma Watson had managed to stay away from the scandal. Her only contribution to the entire affair was to jump to the defense of her friend Jennifer Lawrence, who is, by far the worst affected by the leak, since she was present in both wave leaks.

The actress is quoted as saying, “Even worse than seeing women's privacy violated on social media is reading the accompanying comments that show such a lack of empathy,” referring to the general response of the public when the leaked photos were originally published online.

If the threat turns out to be true, Emma will join the over 100 female celebrities that have since been exposed in their most intimate moments on the internet. That is little consolation for her, who has managed to avoid this type of situation in the past, and is known for keeping things classy both on and off the screen.

If for celebrities like Kim Kardashian leaking intimate images is not that big of a blow to their image, since they constantly parade in skimpy outfits in front of cameras and do raunchy photo shoots on a regular basis, for Emma, who has maintained a “good girl” image, it's going to be much harder to recover from such a scandal.
