In a recent interview with FHM (July 2009 Issue), Rupert Grint admitted that he and Daniel have both had a crush on Emma, according to Heidi Blake, writer for www.telegraph.co.uk

“A lot of people think there’s something going on [between me and Emma Watson] because I have to kiss her on film soon. I’ll be honest with you: it’s not something I’d say I’m dreading. Emma’s a pretty girl. Have Daniel or I ever hit on Emma? Well, she’s quite popular with the cast. As for who has the worst crush on her – me or Radcliffe – I’d rather not say.”

Okay Rupert . . . Does that mean that it is you or are you trying to protect Daniel? This does not take me my surprise. Emma is a beautiful young lady. If I only had her problem.

Emma Has No Idea of What She is Worth

Emma does not know how much she is worth, according to http://sify.com.

“My dad never told me how much money I was earning. Then, when I hit 18, he was like, ‘I want you to understand that your money isn’t some kind of abstract concept. I want you to have a feel for what it’s worth and what you can do with it’,” The Telegraph quoted her as telling Elle magazine.

“The truth is I’d just like to pretend that it [the money] doesn’t exist. It’s amazing how many children are aware from such a young age about money being important or supposedly impressive. Around the age of 13 or 14, kids used to come up to me and say, ”You the girl on Harry Potter? How much do you make?””

That is a good thing to do. Pretend that you do not have it, so you do not waste it all.

Emma will be taking a break after she finished filming.

“It’s going to sound dramatic, but I feel like it’s going to be my life over as I know it. My whole life has been about Harry Potter and then all of that will shut down and I don’t know what it will be like. I go to university in September – I’ll be doing bits and bobs at Christmas, but September feels like my cut-off point, the moment when I’ll really stop.”

I wish Emma the best of luck.

According to www.kansascity.com, Emma Watson is going to Columbia University. Emma’s full name is Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson, but according to JustJared.com, she has listed her name to be “Charlotte E. Watson,” in the schools directory.

“I’ve been saying that I wanted to go to university since I was eleven, so if they didn’t let me, I’d be pretty upset,” she said.

“I just want to keep it private (my university choice) for as long as I can. I probably sound like a paranoid nut, but I’m doing this because I want to be normal. I really want anonymity. I want to do it properly, like everyone else. As long as I don’t walk in, and see, like, Harry Potter posters everywhere, I’ll be fine,” Emma told Teen Vogue.

Emma also tells Teen Vogue that her and boyfriend, Jay Barrymore, are not breaking up.

“The only reason it’s ‘on/off’ is because the papers make up so much rubbish!”

According to www.snitchseeker.com, Emma is in the Spanish Seventeen Magazine, along with the South African version. The pictures are new, but the interview is a cluster of old interviews. Here are a few of the questions and answers.

It must be complicated to be under the public eye like that. People know about everything you do, they take pictures of you with different guys and they say you’re dating them.

“It’s like I’m not allowed to have male friends. To the press, I’m dating all of them. But the only way to live through it is to laugh about it. The people must think it’s very weird because one week I’m going out with Daniel, then it’s a new guy “what is wrong with her?”. It’s ridiculous. But if the worst thing they can write about me is that I go out a lot with different guys, then I’m not concerned.”

What would you if you were not an actress?

“I wouldn’t go to law school, that’s too serious. I would’ve loved to be a crazy and eccentric painter in Paris. I paint in real life, I love it.”

What’s the weirdest rumor you’ve heard about yourself?

“All this Chanel rumors. It depresses me because I wish it was true.”

Have you been excited about meeting a celebrity?

“Yes, and it’s funny when it happens. I felt so weird meeting Matt Damon. I work with amazing people and when I met him I was speechless. I went bright red and embarrassed. It’s weird when you go to so many events, all of the sudden they take pictures of you with people you don’t know. That time was embarrassing because he knew who I was.”

What do you think of Robert Pattinson?

“I’m amazed! He’s supposed to be the new Harry Potter now. I called him and told him “You’re taking all the credit!!”. I’m kidding. I’m very happy for him, but we haven’t spoken.”

Do you have a personal stylist?

“No, I don’t have anyone. I dress myself. For me. It’s something that I really enjoy. It’s a genuine thing. I really love fashion, I think it’s a way to express yourself and it’s really fun. I think it’s a subject that it shouldn’t be taken to an extreme of saying “Clothes, they’re stressful!”’

If you go out on a date, do you pay or he pays?

“I think women don’t know what they want right now. I don’t know if I want a guy who pays for everything because it’s nice of him to do it, or if I have to pay to show him I’m independent.”

What’s been your favorite scene in the entire series and which did you hate?

“I love the Great Hall scenes. But they were very hard. Some people don’t know that we shoot every scene in two or three days, and the food starts smelling funny. There’s a lot of lights and it very hot, it starts smelling funny. That’s the worst. The best is when we have to do dangerous scenes and stunts.”

According to Alison Maloney, writer for /www.thesun.co.uk, Emma is also on the Spanish magazine Yodona.

According to Connie Singer, writer for the www.examiner.com, Emma Watson has the Burberry, which is a classic UK clothing line, look.

Christopher Bailey, who is the Creative Director of Burberry, says, “Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for quite some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign who like the images she fronts, has a classic beauty a great character and a modern edge… Emma’s charm, intellect and brilliant sense of fun made the whole shoot feel like a picnic on the Thames.”

Emma Watson has become a fashion icon.

Hermione Finds Love

From the interview of http://events.uk.msn.com. Here are a few of their questions.

“QUESTION: How tough was it to have your character start a romance onscreen with Ron, especially since he’s played by an old friend?

EMMA WATSON: I don’t know that it’s tough. Rupert’s a really laid back guy but I’m really looking forward to it because I quite like the romantic comedy side of it. Rupert and I end up providing light relief, as the films get darker. It’s funny seeing Rupert struggling in the romantic stakes. Hermione and Rupert are so different yet they have this chemistry, so it’s interesting. It’ll be awkward doing those love scenes; there’s no other way to put it, but its all part of the job.

QUESTION: How great did it feel to win a Best Actress award at the ITV Movie Awards?

EMMA WATSON: It was so lovely. I genuinely didn’t expect to win it. It wasn’t just about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It was about all the films and I was delighted that the public had voted for that award. It’s one of my proudest moments.

QUESTION: Does working on a Harry Potter film feel different now that all three of you have done different projects?

EMMA WATSON: Yes, and it was really nice to be able to come back and talk to Dan and Rupert about the projects they had been working on; and how different it was to work on stage and TV. It’s given us all more confidence as actors because we were chosen so young for the Potter films. It was so important to me to do Ballet Shoes. I learnt so much from that experience.

QUESTION: So what have been the big ‘wow!’ moments over the years?

EMMA WATSON: The first was when we were told we had got the parts and we stayed in a fancy hotel for the press conference. I remember sitting on a massive bed jumping around watching myself on the TV evening news. It was mad. We also did a premiere at the Radio City Music Hall in New York and I remember looking up at all the people and saying wow!

QUESTION: What about the perks and getting stuff from people from companies like Chanel?

EMMA WATSON: It’s amazing getting sent their dresses because I’ve always loved their clothing. They are the best. If anyone was going to dress me for a premiere, it was going to be Chanel. I physically don’t have time to go out any buy clothes for events so they lend me clothes and it works really well. I also consider it a perk that I get to travel and get to work with the people I’ve worked with. What other job would have given me all these opportunities?

QUESTION: Do you keep a diary?

EMMA WATSON: I do have early diaries filled with funny little things I said or thought. I also have memory boxes filled with things from the early films, including bits of the chess set. I have funny bits and pieces that they let us keep.

QUESTION: What’s in your dressing room here at the studio?

EMMA WATSON: Rupert has darts, pool, table tennis and all these games consoles. Dan’s room is full of books and music. I was so bored one summer that I painted a big mural in my dressing room. Otherwise, it’s all very girly with candles and soft furnishings.”

New Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Clip

Here is the new clip from “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”

Dream’Up Magazine

According to http://www.snitchseeker.com, Emma Watson was in a recent French magazine called “Dream’Up.”

Here are a few of the translated questions from http://www.snitchseeker.com.

“Propositions might already pour in …

For now, I’ve just a certainty : I go to uni in September ! I need to devote time for my studies, in attending English class and philosophy. After having hesitating a long time between England and the USA, I hope I’ll attend the American university of Brown, in Rhode Island state. If it works, I’ll follow my acting career in parallel. I’ll never leave my biggest passion.

So you don’t stop acting …

No! If all is working well, I’ll act next autumn, an independent film called Napoleon and Betsy realised by Benjamin Ross. I’ll play the Betsy Balcombe role, the heroine, which originally was to have been played by Scarlett Johansson, who is a producer, too. Besty is a young noble with an enthusiastic disposition. Accidentally, she finds herself on the Britain Island of Sainte-Hélène, where the great Napoleon is exiled.

The look, is it important for you ?

On my way of dressing, I’m a real tomboy! I have it in common with Hermione. In everyday life, I wear jeans and a simple pullover. For special occasions, like the premieres or gala parties, I try to make an effort. I’m not at-ease in designer gowns, but I’ve begun to appreciate it …

What aspect of your personality would you change?
I would like to be more sexy! In each photocall, the stylists would like to see me wearing ultramini skirts, set assistants would like I take some languorous poses … I admit that I can’t be a tigress yet. But I’m working on it! [laughs]”

According to Deidre Wengen, writer for http://www.phillyburbs.com, Emma Watson in the French magazine Crash. In the magazine the famous photographer Karl Lagerfeld, who is a fashion-industry legend. He made Emma the face of Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle. Emma liked working with this famous icon.

“This was a dream come true. We spent the whole day together and he can talk about anything - literature, art, science, modern culture. I was totally seduced.”

The pictures are interesting. Some of you may or may not like them. I have to admit that I liked a lot of them, but not all. You can find Emma’s pictures on Crash’s website: http://www.crash.fr/

What Emma Watson wrote on her offical Website.

“I realized that in 2 weeks time I will be halfway through filming my part in the Deathly Hallows. I can’t believe how quickly it is all going now that we are at the end. I think I might have to start asking people to sign a Harry Potter book for me. I have never asked anyone for an autograph before but maybe I will regret it if I don’t.”

It is hard to believe and sad. And Emma, you better start having them sign it soon before you forget and regret it. The idea that she may never see or work with some of the people working on the Harry Potter movies is the most depressing.

Best of luck Emma.

I love this. This is a trailer with the cast talking about “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I think this movie is going to be one of the funniest of the movies, so far.

Questions

Here are some of the question from Interview Magazine. The reporter is Derek Blasberg.

“BLASBERG: Do you like to travel?

WATSON: Yes, and that’s where the films have helped. With Harry Potter, I’ve been all over the world. I probably wouldn’t have gone to New York so young if it weren’t for the films. I was 11, and I remember it distinctly because it was just after 9/11. I was at ground zero, looking at this gallery that had messages and drawings all over the walls.

BLASBERG: That’s heavy stuff for an 11-year-old.

WATSON: Yeah, it was. I remember one of the producers gave this great speech while we were there, saying that maybe the reason Harry Potter was so successful, particularly then, was because people really wanted to be uplifted or taken to another place.

BLASBERG: I find it intriguing that you started this journey when you were 9. How did you even know about the books?

WATSON: My dad used to read them to me before I went to bed and while on long car journeys.

BLASBERG: So then you just went to an open call?

WATSON: No, there was no open audition—they went all over England to find these characters, and not just drama schools. They came to my school and asked if they could put forward a group of 20 children between the ages of 9 and 12. They took my photograph in the school gym, and then I got a call three weeks later.

BLASBERG: What happened between that gym photo and the first day of shooting?

WATSON: It was a long time—eight auditions . . .

BLASBERG: Did you meet any of the other girls who were going out for the parts?

WATSON: Yes! I won’t say the name, but there was this girl who had already done a film before. I can remember just crumbling at the sight of her, thinking, “She’s been in a film before, and she knows how to do this. I have no chance.” Even worse, one time I came to the studios, and she was there playing cards with one of the other boys auditioning for Harry—not Daniel
Radcliffe. And I was like, “Oh, my god, they’re making friends already! I’m definitely not going to get it.” I was so, so upset.

BLASBERG: I bet those two have pictures of you and Daniel Radcliffe on their dartboards now.

WATSON: Probably. But I wanted it so badly.

BLASBERG: Why? Because you wanted to be in movies and be famous, or because you identified with that role?

WATSON: I loved the books—I was a massive fan. I just felt like that part belonged to me. I know that sounds crazy, but from that first audition, I always knew. At the beginning, they were
casting the other characters as well—but I always knew I was going out for Hermione. She came so naturally to me. Maybe so much of myself at the time was similar to her. Of course, all this terrified my parents—there were literally thousands and thousands of girls going out for the audition, and my parents were anxious about what I would do if I didn’t get it.

BLASBERG: Now that you’ve made a little bit of money, are you spending it all on fashion?

WATSON: I don’t really buy designer stuff. I have a few nice things, but I don’t really have the occasion to wear couture too often. When I’m in a situation where I do need to dress up, I’m
typically lent something—which means I have to give it back at midnight, like Cinderella.

BLASBERG: In these next two films, are most of your scenes with Dan and Rupert?

WATSON: Yes. In the last book, they’ve left Hogwarts, and they’re traveling around together. It feels right that it started with the three of us and it’s ending with the three of us. It’s about our friendship.

BLASBERG: How are you with those young men off set? Are you friends?

WATSON: To be honest, we see so much of each other when we’re working that hanging out together would be overload. I love them, but I need to see other friends off set. They’re like my siblings now.

BLASBERG: We’ve spoken about you possibly coming to America for university. What’s so appealing about going to an Ivy League school?

WATSON: I never thought that I would want to go to America for university. As a child, I aspired to go to Oxbridge, because that’s where my parents went. When my dad talks about his time there, he says it was the most incredible experience.

BLASBERG: So what made you entertain the idea of the States?

WATSON: Well, I did a Shakespeare course at RADA [Royal Academy of Dramatic Art] last summer, and three quarters of the students were from abroad, mainly the United States. I started talking to them about what they were doing at their schools, and I respected the approach. Here, I feel the specification is very narrow, whereas in America, you’re encouraged to be broad and choose many different subjects. For someone who has missed as much school as I have, I want to go back and discover what else there is. I always loved school—I was a proper, proper nerd. I just want that back again.

BLASBERG: What are you going to study?

WATSON: History, English . . . I want to keep learning French, maybe some politics. I want to continue studying art.

BLASBERG: I think you should absolutely devote some studies to your painting. I keep looking at this big picture that you did of your stepbrother, which is hung above your couch.

WATSON: I guess I’m a little shy about my art, but I love painting people and expressions and faces. I’ve always done art, though not a lot of people know it.”

Emma Watson sat down with Liana Maeby, writer for www.wizarduniverse.com for a interview. Here are a few of those questions.

What is Hermione’s big moment and big sequence in the sixth film?

WATSON: There’s this mean girl called Lavender who has a bit of a crush on Ron. It’s leaked in the beginning of the film that Hermione and Ron are finally going to get it together, and then she steps in. Hermione is sensitive and quite mean, really. And it’s very much about how she sort of despises Lavender. Not really because she’s taken Ron away, but because she’s kind of the opposite of Hermione. So it’s very comic and also quite sad for her. It’s very Ron based, her part.

When you look back at the making of this film, what do you think you might remember from it?

WATSON: What really stuck out for me was Ron’s Quidditch scene. It was so funny. Rupert’s comic timing is just brilliant and he’s so funny. There’s this great scene where Hermione and Lavender are fighting over Ron, and we had a bit of fun with that. With Dumbledore’s death scene it was absolutely freezing that night and it was a very sad scene, really.

If you continue acting after “Harry Potter” is done do you think you’re going to look for roles that are as far from Hermione as possible?

WATSON: I would like to play someone a bit different, yes. But I’m not going to go play a thug just to get away from Hermione. It will be really interesting if I find anything I feel as strongly about as I felt towards Hermione. I just felt like I had to play the role. It’s very hard to explain, I just felt I had to do it, and I haven’t read another script that I’ve felt that way about.

According to Vicki Bane, writer for www.people.com, Emma Watson would like to have a degree from an American school like Brown.

Regarding Universities in the U.S, “you’re encouraged to be broad and choose many different subjects,” Emma tells this month’s Interview magazine.

Watson recently went on a coeds trip to Cancun.

“I felt like I had walked into an American teen movie,” says Emma. “I was only there for two days – thankfully my friends and I were more interested in traveling around other parts of the country. But that was the weirdest place ever.”

Never been there, but I believe her.

When the Harry Potter movies are over, Emma will miss Rupert Grint and Daniel Ratcliffe. You would think they would spend a lot of time together when they are off the set, but they don’t.

“We see so much of each other when we’re working that hanging out together would be overload,” says Watson. “They’re like my siblings now.”

Emma Seems to Be Back on with Jay Barrymore

It has been reported that Emma Watson and on again/ off again boyfriend, Jay Barrymore are back together, according to www.theinsider.com.

The couple were spotted together in Scotland. I was going to say that it was just a rumor because the picture that was on the site was a small. Then there were more pictures that I have found that does not point to rumor. There was a picture of them kissing, then other pictures where you could see her face better.

Either way. I hope Emma is happy.
