Like the thousand upon thousands of Aya Hirano otaku who went through a seizure after the receding hairline bobblehead anime seiyuu revealed everything about her personal life to the public, thousand and thousands of Emma Watson fanboys are probably going through a cardiac arrest after this happened.

Yes, the actress who plays Hermione Granger in the uber-popular Harry Potter series of movies has shed her long locks for a more “Winona-in-the-90s” do, saying on her Facebook page:

“Dear all. Cut my hair off a few days ago… Feels incredible. I love it. I’ve wanted to do this for years and years; it’s the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like. Big love from Emma x”

But do not fret, fanboys of the lovely Miss Watson, you can still catch her in her full silky glory in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which opens in theaters in November. Who know, she might have grown a short bob by then! =D

(For the record, I think her new hair-do is fabulous.)
