A very happy birthday goes out to our favorite fashionista, Emma Watson, who turns 21 today!

As you all well know, turning 21 is a pretty big deal in American culture (though to be fair, Emma has been able to do all of this stuff in the UK since she was 18), but we thought it would be a bit more fair to compare Emma coming of age as a muggle to coming of age as a wizard. If you know anything about our “Harry Potter” bias (or at least mine), you can probably guess which direction this one is heading.

After the jump, we weigh the pros of turning 21 in the States against turning 17 in the wizarding community to determine which one is the coolest!

You Can Use Magic Freely versus You Can Drink Legally
In this instance, we’re going to have to go with the magic usage over drinking legally. Obviously for American youths turning 21 is a pretty big deal solely for this reason, but in the wizarding world, young wizards have been able to get tipsy off butterbeer since they first got to go to Hogsmeade in year three! Wizarding world, you win this time.

You Graduate Hogwarts versus You Have To Get A New License
Again, coming of age in the wizarding community has a bit of an edge over turning 21 as a muggle. On your big day (at least in Massachusetts), the state requires that you head over to your local DMV and update your license. If not, it’s technically expired and you can’t get drinks! We’d much rather graduate Hogwarts instead.

The Ministry Of Magic Stops Tracking You versus You Can Go Clubbing (And To Concerts)
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner: Becoming an adult in the wizard community is way cooler than turning 21! Sorry Emma, turning 21 is great, and not having any restrictions when it comes to going to clubs and concerts must be pretty cool, but not having the government keep tabs on you anymore? There’s nothing more freeing than that!

As you can see we are sporting a wonderful new look. Joyce is an amazing designer so if you are looking for reliable and cheap excellent work then go to her. She is the fastest person I know and if you need your design quickly then she will rush it free of charge! Not to mention she will take her time to design the layout and code it. Her work is amazing which is why on some of my fansites you see that I have a bunch of layouts from her! I hope everyone loves the new look and I decided to go with the new photoshoot Emma did which is something totally different!

Perhaps one of the sexiest photoshoots Emma has ever done has finally surface. Her new People Tree Photoshoot is to die for and you can finally see it in the gallery. These will be a must for the next layout which could be put up by the end of this week.

Emma Watson was seen leaving The Heathrow Airport on March 3rd with an mystery man. She looked absolutely amazing. Now that she can work on projects since announcing her break from college we hope to see some amazing new projects!

Emma Watson was out and about in London on the 21st of last month and I’ve added 6 semi-high qualities to the gallery. She looked absolutely amazing and we can’t help but wonder who that mystery male is with her. Could she have a potential boyfriend?

Emma Watson was out and about in London on the 22nd of last month and I’ve added 7 high qualities to the gallery. She looked absolutely amazing.

The Emma Watson and Hermione Granger comparisons can stop here.

Watson announced on her website yesterday that she’s stopping her studies at Brown University for the time being to concentrate on doing the press rounds for the final “Harry Potter” movie this summer and then work on her other upcoming film commitments.

“I will still be working towards my degree… it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought,” she wrote.

It doesn’t sound like a compromise that the young Miss Granger would ever make, but as Watson fans, we could not be happier for the actress. Emma has several upcoming projects that we’re really excited for, and we’re glad she’s as willing to commit as we are.

“Deathly Hallows: Part 2″ press rounds
When the Wizarding World of Harry Potter had its grand opening, and for some of the “Deathly Hallows: Part 1″ press rounds, Watson had to make some compromises on both sides of the spectrum for her school commitments. We’re glad that she can dedicate herself 100 percent to “Part 2″ this go around, considering it’s the last time she’ll attend a “Potter” premiere.

“The Perks of Being a Wallflower”
This project has been stuck in gestation for years, but finally Summit Entertainment purchased the rights to the film and it’s getting underway. This might be one of the main reasons Watson is taking a leave from school, as shooting should get underway soon.

“Incarceron”
But that isn’t the only young adult adaptation that Watson has up her belt. She is one of the frontrunners for the female lead in the Taylor Lautner-starring dystopian young adult adaptation “Incarceron,” and there is nothing that we would love more than for her to get the role.

Something New, Please!
There was a point in time where we honestly were worried we were never going to see an Emma Watson film again. Fortunately that time has passed, and with this latest decision, we’re hopeful that Watson will stick around Hollywood for many years to come.

Are you glad that Watson was willing to put her education on hold for her film career, or do you feel bad that she had to sacrifice it for Hollywood? Let us know in the comments section below or on Twitter!
