Emma Watson's Wardrobe Malfunction: "At Least I Was Wearing Underwear" (VIDEO)

Hermione herself, Emma Watson, charmed David Letterman and everyone watching when she sat down to push the new Harry Potter movie Wednesday night.

The Potter movie premiered Tuesday in London in the pouring rain, and her vintage dress at one point needed a little readjusting and she accidentally showed a flash of underwear.

'Tell us what's going on here,' said Letterman as he held up a picture of the incident.

'This was a small wardrobe malfunction, it happens,' Emma laughed, adding, 'At least I'm wearing underwear.'

She added, head in hands, 'I'm still learning, I'm still learning!'

Watson also confirmed to Dave that she will be starting college in the US this fall, although the institution of higher learning went unnamed.

What is with these perverts at the letterman show, first it was the comments about palins daughter bristol and now this about emma. Are these people that work there all perverts ?

[KristenfromMA]

Oh, unclench already.

[karma namdak]

She's such a lovely young lady. Hope she keeps her feet on the ground and doesn't become another child star casualty.

[Bright Creature]

looking and hearing her, I think she's doing alright

[Stayalert]

You are right. Many times the Brits with their sense of history, and of humor-which is much better than ours, can handle all kinds of situations.

We just prudely go on about our prudish ways.

She was/is terrific.

[roch20]

What a smart kid she is!

[Lilyoffrance]

I still don't think it was a malfunction. She was afterall holding the material at the split, pulling it apart.

[Bright Creature]

I dunno.. did you see how sheer that garment was? It looked like she could feel the breezes even with it being intact.

[DrMajorBob]

I found her in the same dress BEFORE she was caught in the storm; it was beautiful and fairly typical designer fashion, simply not made to resist wind and rain. Her "handlers" should have been ready with a trench coat when she left the building.

[IhaveaDREAMwhitegirl]

What a lovely young woman!

[Clovie]

FYI: Daily Mail seems to think she's headed to Columbia.

[LiZ L]

Yep, I read it was going to be Columbia Uni as well
Emma Watson fashion wizzard

[stella8]

Mark my word....she has an eating disorder and will make Li-Lo look like a fattie...

[LiZ L]

I really don't think she has an eating disorder! She looks ok to me!

Brits walk much much more than we usa types. I have several friends
who eat and drink as much as they ever did, and when they moved to
UK, in one month they dropped 30 lbs. Just from walking to work, fun,
pubs etc. They don't sit around their flats/apartments/houses like we
do. Speaking of.....

[madisonhack]

What makes you say that?

[Babak Rejaie]

This is how most normal healthy people look. Unfortunately, more and more people, esp. in the US, think being overweight and obesity are normal. If you went to just about any other country where people actually walk and eat sensibly portioned food, you would probably think everyone has an eating disorder.

[Balzac]

Wouldn't load.

[Chip W]

That's too bad. You missed the most exciting, interesting, stimulating piece of video that has ever been created.

[Quixotic2]

Not a bad video (the Letterman piece) but not worth the ads around it. I hope those ads are not a trend because I won't watch them. There has to be a better way to pay for content than with those intrusive ads.

[LemonMeringue]

Echo here.

And if HuffPo has any more pages that start talking to me onLoad I will stop coming here.

[warren76]

install firefox as your browser. Install the "ad-block plus" add on (it's all very very easy to do...have no fear) and you'll not have to worry about all that stuff...including regular ads as well on a webpage. I still disable ad-block on sites I want to support, but it comes in handy for the rest of the cesspool that the web has become. Hope that helps.

[Mike Barden]

i haven't watched Dave for awhile, maybe i should.

[mmlk]

You should; he's the best.

[breakingrocks]

That underwear line was written for her and Letterman waited paitently for her to deliver it. She would have said "knickers" on her own.

[dubster]

I would have preferred she used panties, however, in that British accent!

[ahoyhoy]

Not true. English people are aware of when they are trying to communicate w/ Americans. She might say 'knickers' or (better) 'undercrackers' when in England, but she's spent enough time here to know how we say things. She's not a rube!

[ealymc]

Emma is a lovely girl... very classy... a sense of humor about herself... and quite beautiful! I really hope there's more for her after the HP franchise

[ahoyhoy]

She IS classy. I don't know about her personal life, but she comports herself very professionally as an ambassador for the ginormous movie franchise. Certain others her age could learn a bit about professional behavior.

[PwnedByJesus]

What a classy young lady. Too bad we don't see more of that in this country. We have "The OC" and "The Hills" generating fresh young "talent".

[mamacat]

A new generation comes of age, a Hermione is already a heartbreaker.

[baxtron]

This child was born 40 years after Letterman. Ease up on the drooling over children Dave.

[jsgaetano]

He's not a eunich.

[ibwilliamsi]

That's terribly lame. Get over it already. Even "never let it go unless it's your job" Sarah Palin did. After she milked it to death.

[sammyscout]

He's not drooling but don't know about you, sicko
