Hello,
I know it sounds stupid, but does anyone know how to contact Bonnie by
email. Actually, I think no-one knows this, am I right?
Greets,

LMAO.. Sitting here trying to be nice for a change. I mean, I *could* have
said I'll ask her next week when we have tea if I can give out her personal
information to the stalkers and pedos..
I just never can *Get* why anyone thinks they are going to get hold of real
contact info for these people. I would assume the info in the above reply is
her agent.

very personal. In fact, I could give my mail address.

Just someone who finds it amusing that people really think they are going to

Here's more information...
PFD is one of Europe's leading literary and talent agencies both in
terms of turnover and breadth of representation.
Their email address is: postmaster [at] pfd.co.uk
The agent that represents BW is Ruth Young. There is no email address
listed for her directly, but here are email addresses for her associate
agent and her assistant:
Associate Agent: Heloise Gillingham: hgillingham [at] pfd.co.uk
Assistant: Jess Alford: jalford [at] pfd.co.uk
Telephone: +44 (0)207 344 1010
Fax: +44 (0)207 836 9544
Perhaps you could send your email to Bonnie Wright through one of these
email address? It's worth a try.
Good luck.

My pleasure. At one time I also dreamed of contacting a movie star
directly. So I felt that the original question was polite and genuine
and I was glad to help.
It's amazing what one can do with a google search.

It was a sarcastic remark; to forestall accusations of child molester
and stalker on this thread.
If interested you might want to use google-group and search for threads
on Emma Watson and see how people who wanted her contact information
were treated.

It would be extremely stupid and potentially dangerous of you to do that,

Well, lots of American celebs, even children have professional e-mail
addresses through sites designed for the celebrities. Nothing
personal. At the site's addy. But you can still contact them. And
some do reply.
It's the folks who want personal contact info, who actually think the
actress would want to talk with them personally, after they were
practically stalked to get the home info.

Nobody here does. and if they did, they'd have no info for you. stick
to the agency or Via Warner Brothers. Bonnie has no desire to talk
with you, me, or anybody else here through her personal contact info.
she probably wouldn't mind a fan letter through the right channels,
and if you include a SASE, she might respond back.

Not you, but far too many stalkers are interested in Emam Watson. Why
should Bonnie have better luck? Never ask for personal. Always ask
for agent or manager. And remember, somebody else will almost surely
read it first. Before passing it on if acceptable.

The first post I ever made here was to ask if Hermione would ever
become 'sexy'...
.... well ok the thread was called "Will Hermione ever become Humpable"
That thread went on for ages while people frothed at the mouth and got
quite silly about it :)
People seemed to assume Hermione = Emma Watson and that she would
remain 10 years old eternally....

I love usenet... it's the great leveller... you can say you are
anyone, can do anything, be whatever you like... and if you're a
halfway decent bullshitter nobody can tell :)
This is the main reason I don't let my 10 year old daughter read
newsgroups :)

I think that the Google invasion has been relatively uneventful compared
to the WebTV invasion. At least the Googlers didn't vehemently insist
on posting with HTML.

Something that permits people to go online from their televisions,

Thnaks. I had happily forgotten WebTV had ever existed and ruined our
lives on Usenet. More so than AOL users (Which was a shame, because
some AOLers knew what they were doing.).

Hmm, never seen such a thing over here, maybe once the digital TVs become a
bit more mainstream we'll begin to see them, not that it seems to be
something to look forward to.

Couldn't have been to many, I mean, if they really knew what they were doing, then they wouldn't have been on
AOL in the first place, would they?

There was a fairly long period in the 1990s when, in many places, AOL had
the only dialup number that wasn't a toll call for a lot of people. Also,
they had a lot of content (primarily chat rooms and discussion boards) that
was internal to their service rather than available over the Internet; in
fact much of their negative impact on Usenet came from the fact that to
their users, the newly added Usenet groups looked just like the AOL-
internal discussion boards and they weren't aware that they were dealing
with groups that had pre-existing cultures of their own.

They are the ones who actually fled in the end.
