We never thought we’d say this sentence but Harry Potter cutie Emma Watson almost flashed her Britney this week while promoting her new movie Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in London.

The 19-year-old sweetheart was dressed in a modest floor-length dress that simply couldn’t hold up to the wind and rain of typical London weather.

Fortunately, unlike some of her celebrity counterparts (Britney and Paris to name a few), Emma actually wore panties underneath the dress – and we bet she’s happy she did.

So really, the wardrobe malfunction pics that everyone’s talking about today don’t really show any more skin than you’d see on the beach.

Good job Emma! Way to be prepared in case something like this happened. At least you have the decency to wear panties.

Britney and Paris wear skirts up to their crotch and still go commando...now that’s just trashy.
