If the information on [www.ageofconsent.com](http://www.ageofconsent.com) is correct, having sexual fantasies about her is about to go from being wrong to, uh, a little less wrong. ---

…and in most of the World, including a majority of the USA. But it still is two more years before we can send out the papparazzi to try and catch a pic of her w/o her clothes on – or digitally c&p her head onto a nude pic of someone else (yes, that’s illegal! really!)

Oh, relax. If all you guys _didn’t_ find a sweet little sixteen year old girl hot, I’d wonder what was wrong with you. It’s what you do with that thought that matters! Posting it on the Dope? Ok. Stalking the poor thing? Not Ok. 🙂 Personally, I think she’s lovely. (I’m female, though, so my opinion is a little different.) ---

Hooray! Seriously though, I find her pretty unattractive. And she acts with her eyebrows. ---

I did think she was cute, but thinking of it, I’m relatively sure that her selling point is that she still has eyebrows. Give grown up women their eyebrows back and we’d probably be looking at her less. ---

> [@Stark Raven Mad](#): > > For a while after the release of the last movie, [this](http://www.espudd.com/articles/other/emma.php) was my homepage. That is not so bad. I googled “Dakota Fanning clock legal” and only found dead links to her “countdown”. For one brief moment, I have some faith restored in America…until another Dope comes along and shows me a functioning link with a Fanning count down clock. ---

If it’s any comfort, Hermione Granger just recently turned 26, if we use the timeline based on Nearly-Headless Nick’s deathday party. I suspect that she can currently be found working in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic, assuming that it still exists. ---
