Harry Potter star Emma Watson calls in legal team to remove photos from porn site

EMMA Watson had to call in lawyers after risque photographs of her were posted online.

The 26-year-old was forced to act after snaps showing her wearing a sheer top were shared on sleazy website Celeb Jihad.

According to TMZ, the Harry Potter star's legal eagles sent a cease and desist letter to the site, citing that the pictures had been taken by her stylist but given to her - meaning that she owned ALL copyright.

The private photos were quickly removed.

The chances are that the photos are the same ones that were leaked in 2014 during an iCloud hacking frenzy dubbed 'the Fappening'.

The pics, showing the Hermione Granger actress wearing a cream lace skirt and peach-coloured sheer top, were amongst hundreds that were shared online.

Celeb Jihad features both genuine celebrity nudes, raunchy stills from movies and fashion shoots, and crude mock-ups of famous faces in outrageous porn scenarious made using Photoshop.

A statement on the site reads: "Emma Watson's lawyers have had her leaked photos removed under a copyright claim."

However, they took a final dig at the Brit actress by putting some other pictures of her in the 'removed pictures' section.

Emma previously claimed that socierty needs to forget porn once and for all.
