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.

I have an embarrassing crush on this young woman. I guess this is the age when it starts to feel creepy.

[NoMercy]

lol me too.

I've felt it from the beginning though. something about smart girls gets me...

[spinns17]

[PorkyDomesticus]

Let's hope Dave doesn't get crucified over this one.

[David Gonzalez Diez]

Great sense of humor

[Poorsarah]

Emma Watson is a hot looking babe with a great sense of humor...we need more people like her in this world.

"at least I'm wearing underwear"

Let me tell you I wish she hadn't been!! Although she did look cute in those panties, I would prefer her without them!

[TigersEye]

She's turned out to be a beautiful young woman with a good sense of humor. That's terrific.

[rbchilds]

Letterman continues to display what a twit he is.

[TRichards]

That's "wit" not "twit," Sarah.

[Mikeeee]

In this case a twit. Palin is a fool, Emma is a young lady who had a mishap.

[Merckx]

Go watch Dennis Miller's show. Oh that's right. He doesn't have one.

[Jaladeno]

game. set. match.

[mmlk]

Don't watch him. Better yet, go out and join the Palin protest.

[Poorsarah]

A very successful and well respected "twit." Something you can only fantasize about.

[rbchilds]

I don't respect nor do I condone public displays of intentional embarassment or disrespect.
His public display of the mishap was mean spirited and uncalled for. Therefore Letterman is a twit. And by the way dearie, I am very successful and well respected, just ask my 150 employees.

[Musiker]

A charming looker!

[MacTruck]

Emma's the bomb! She is the whole package. Lucky the guy/gal she eventually ends up with.

[jrjones529]

Gosh a beautiful girl on David Letterman and the HuffPo message boards get wierd....

[Hans Meiser]

Haha seriously. I love Emma. She is very, very cute and charming. I like the way she carries herself. She'll go a long way and stay classy.

[marco01]

Somebody grew up

[RogerHWerner]

Emma Watson is completely charming!

[AngieMom57]

I totally agree, nice to see those honest qualities in a young person.

[TanzaniteDiamonds]

Is it "underwear" or is it "panties"? A lingerie dept. clerk once corrected me, when I called them "underwear". She reminded me that ladies wear "panties", and men wear "underwear".

Either one, Emma is proof that she had grace and class about the whole thing.

[lizr]

This lady has always worn underwear. Something vaguely prurient about the word "panties"

[stepper]

It's called underwear, unless you are a lingerie saleswoman trying to sell it for $75, then its called panties.

[scottowego]

If your wife pulls it out from under a couch cushion it's "underwear". If you find it it's 'PANTIES"!!!!!!!

[atcrossroads]

Underwear is a collective noun for things that you wear under your clothes, panties or as the Brits often call it, knickers, (girls) or underpants, (men), camisoles, bras, petticoats and corsets ;-). Take note Madonna: (corset goes under the clothes) and Britney (panties! because I am not your gynecologist, and there are some things I just don't want to see on complete strangers)

[colinmeister]

Since Emma is English, she probably usually calls them "Knickers".

[davidwayneosedach]

She looks just fine - with, or without, the underwear.

[liberalbug]

You've seen the without?

[ToddStewart]

Only in my dreams

[Frederick Brown]

She is a beautiful woman....e­nough said...not­hing pervy about it. Dave is tame. The girl wants an adult career and he is helping her to that end....do you really think her people didn't approve of that undies shot? Please!
