BRITISH actress Emma Watson called in lawyers overnight over a nude internet image that her reps swiftly branded a fake.

Representatives for, Watson, 19, who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series said the image, the location of which was not revealed by The Sun, was a computer creation.

Her spokesman told The Sun: "If you look at it you will see that the head is marginally too big for the body (but clearly too big!) and the angle of the face is physically impossible with the body in that position."

Her representatives went on to add that the Potter star is a favourite subject for those who seek to manipulate images on the internet.
