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/

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.”

BTY

Emma Watson was # 82 on Maxim 2009 Top (Hot?) List. Congrats to Emma.

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.

Is Emma Watson the new face of Burberry

It has been reported that Emma Watson is the new face of the Burberry ProrsumAutumn/Winter 2009 collection, according to Nidhi Sharma, writer for www.allheadlinenews.com.

According to the Daily Mail, Emma did not like the idea that she was going to be “photographed alongside a group of girls.”

I really do not blame Emma for not liking that idea.

“Emma was always supposed to be the leading lady, so when she found out it was girls she was in the campaign with, she put her foot down and had them removed from the line-up. She now stars in the campaign alongside four hunky men,” said a source.

“The campaign is not yet finalized and we won’t release any information until around the time of the official launch in June,” said a spokesperson for Burberry to People magazine,

As of yet. No comment from Emma Watson.

New Trailer of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

New Trailer for the new Harry Potter movie coming out.

Love it.

Woo hoo! Emma’s Birthday is April 15, and she will be 19 years-old. So Happy Birthday Emma! I can not believe how fast this year is going.

Emma A Party Girl

It has been reported that Emma Watson is becoming a “party girl,” according to http://allieiswired.com.

Watson has been seen club hopping around London. She first went to Mayfair’s ‘Whisky Mist’ and then to ‘Bungalow 8 (reported friends Birthday Party) Then she was seen going home around 2:30 am.

Okay. First. That does not mean she is a “party girl” because she goes out once and a while. If she had been going out that much, it would have been printed in the papers, television, magazines etc.

And so what if she once to go out a little. She is the legal drinking age.

I believe she is not a party girl. They want to just go against her “good girl” image. They are trying to catch her in a lie.

According to http://www.ecorazzi.com, it has been rumored that Greenpeace wants Emma Watson to become one of their ambassadors. They decide that they would like her to be an ambassador after they read the interview in Crash Magazine.

“I cannot not be green. I did my end of school project on global warming and hurricane Katrina. I studied the effects on a small scale, like the dam projects in London, but also on a bigger scale. My car is electric, I recycle, I take public transportation, I try not to buy and drink bottled water. I’m not perfect, but it’s something I feel strongly about.”

I think that Emma is doing great. She is doing more than some people out there. I guess we will have to see what happens.

This is a translated interview of Emma Watson in a Italian magazine Io Donna, translated on http://harrypotterspage.com.

“Have you ever wanted the role of the movie Twilight?

I never had time to read [the script] … I suppose that yes, it is becoming increasingly popular.

Your work and study. And you’re about to start college.

This is a very exciting part of my life. You can say that I have grown. It also gives me a little scared, because being away from my house. Maybe choose one American university, but still do not know.

Why, if Oxford and Cambridge have to close to home?

In America you can attend classes 4 and then make a different specialization. In England you must choose a single class and take it for 3 years. It’s limited.

Already have a name?

Mmmh, Harvard, Yale, Columbia.

To the British press, you’re a fashion icon. Could you define your style?

I am a true London. The weather is a little gray, so that encourages me to be a little crazy with fashion. Mixing street style with the classic style, which I enjoy. My mother is very stylized, so I’ve learned a lot from it.

And what think of Kate Moss?

She also has a great style. You can see immediately that she wears their own clothes. America can not do nothing if the style does not tell you what to wear.

Do you agree with the current trend of extreme thinness?

I have never followed these guidelines, because I do not think is something good to be so thin. I never diet. I love eating and cooking. It was a very good cake with raspberries and macaroni.”

According to http://uk.popsugar.com, Emma Watson finds it hard to date.

“Finding someone that you like, or who likes you, is always difficult at my age. But being famous complicates things much more. I suppose that some boys feel a bit intimidated by me and stay on their guard.”

I am sure it is hard to tell who likes you for you and who doesn’t. I am sure if Emma waits Mr. Right will walk up to her.

Emma Is Back on the HP Set

According to Emma Watson’s offical website, Emma is back in the studio of Harry Potter.

“Hey everyone, sorry it’s been so long. I’m back at the studios on Harry Potter. I can’t believe it’s the seventh film already! It has been such a long time since I’ve seen everyone and it’s great to be back. Keeping very busy though, lots of publicity at the weekends getting ready for HP6 which is all good. Also very excited that it’s getting sunny and warmer, it’s been such a long winter. I went to my very first football match at the weekend, which was cool. I feel like a true Brit now! Hope you’re all well and thank you for all the ongoing support. Lots of love, Emma x.”
