Translation from Tu magazine // 29 December 2006

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

Hello Emma fans! 😆

A extremly big thanks to Lila for translating the scans from Tu magazine that was posted yesterday:

Without magic and a lot of common sense, Emma faces up the usual fears and challenges of being a teenager. This acting lover, who gets embarrassed in front of boys, hopes Hermione not to be her last cinema role. These are the latest news about Emma Watson.  

EMMA WATSON 

With 16 years old and already a teenager, Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson is getting ready for, what she calls her “two weeks of fame”, as every time a Harry Potter film comes out. As for any girl it would be incredible to have all the benefits while working on a Harry Potter film, Emma just takes it quietly: she works hard to remain her feet on the ground, since part of the money she has is destinated to afford her university career. “When I’m not filming, I like to go out with friends, watch a movie, have a drink at Starbucks, buy Cd’s and spend time at my girlfriend’s house” she points out.   

But is undeniable that Watson receives more attention that someone her age, and that’s what she criticises when it’s said it’d be easy to be Emma Watson. “I get so upset when people think that just by being famous I can have it all. I know that even though I wasn’t famous, when it comes to guys and romance it’d be as complicated as it is, when you’re an actress, it’s even more stressful”, she confesses.  

Friendship and glamour 

Everything’s not “that bad”. The glamorous side of bringing Hermione to life is one of the biggest experiences so far, and she’s conscious that if it wasn’t for Harry Potter, she would have had to wait until being an old lady to get to know the United States, Europe and Asia.  And that’s not all, because after spending six years with Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe, now all grown up, it hasn’t been an obstacle for them to make Emma a big joke every time they can, like in a real family. “We have to see each other almost every day. They have seen me very glamorous at the premieres, and so at six o’ clock in the morning without make-up. It’s impossible not to feel like a real family”, Emma remarks. 

Did you know? 

One of Emma’s deepest sadness was when her seven year old cousin, Hannah, died from cancer. 

She loves to dance. Dan Radcliffe is one of her dance partners at parties and premieres. 

Things never missing at the set: her cell phone, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, lip gloss, her teddy bear, and the slippers she got for Christmas. 

She loves to decorate and redecorate her bedroom again and again. 

Last May she took part on the “Worldwide Championship” of Teenager Feminine Hockey played at Oxford. Her team: “the Hockey Rover Sports”.

Her worst nightmare is not being able to get rid of her Hermione Granger label. Even though she’s conscious about how important is to play the character, Emma is looking forward to play other parts, “Daniel and Rupert are really sure about being actors the rest of their lives. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t want Harry Potter to be my last performance. I’d like to play other kind of characters and have a tryout at the theatre, because I like the automatic response from the audience”,she points out. 

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

The fifth film from the saga J.K. Rowling has created has been finally finished filming, and considering the eagerness of the fans to see the movie, its worldwide premiere will be on July 2007!

This time the gang will have the need to create Dumbledore’s Army, since the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge, isn’t giving them the resources to fight against who-must-not-be-named. The film was directed by David Yates, who according to Emma gave it a different touch.

Also, Harry is having an inner battle between fear, dragons and devils; this new film is more emotional than the previous ones. 
 
 Curiosities 

♦ Most of the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix scenes had been shot at the United Kingdom, such as the Westminster metro station (when Harry and Mr. Weasley go to the Ministry of Magic), the banks of the Themes, the Black Park of Buckinghamshire and the Virginia Waters. 

Image Metrics was the enterprise chosen to create Grawp, Hagrid’s famous half brother. 

♦ For the Thestrals scene, the actors are able to fly in the aid of a crane. That’s Rupert’s favourite scene. 

♦ one of the funniest moments on set involved Ron’s phobia to spiders. The staff was going to include a scene where a tiny spider climbs slowly Ron’s leg, but Rupert’s fear was massive and they were forced to cut the scene.

Remember, the Calendar competiton is now closed, a big thanks to everyone that entered!

Have a nice weekend! 🙂

Video of the Week // 26 December 2006

Tuesday, December 26th, 2006

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying the holidays, and if you were expecting Santa, I hope he was good to you. 😆

In this weeks video Emma talks about a Christmas present she received. 😛 The video is from the Goblet of Fire press interviews and includes Dan and Rupert answering questions from fans. The questions are in Dutch, but the answers are English and it’s not hard to figure out what the question was.

Update: Claudia sent us the translation of the questions just in case you weren’t sure.


1    Do you think it’s right that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is for 12 years and older?
2    Daniel, have you and emma been going out?
3    Rupert, does the relationship between Hermione and Ron look like the relationship between you and Emma?
4    (To Emma) You said once that you’ll never kiss Daniel or Rupert, do you still think the same about that?
5    (To Daniel) How is it for you to be in your puberty?
6    (To Emma) What did you think about your brace?
7    (To Rupert) Have you ever been teased about your haircolor?
8    What is the color of your toothbrush?
9    If you had to spread a rumour about yourself, which would it be?
 
That’s it! The questions are asked by dutch Harry Potter – fans who visited the site of that tv show.

Video of the Week and more // 18 December 2006

Monday, December 18th, 2006

Hey everyone,

This weeks video is from the Chamber of Secrets premiere in Los Angeles. Emma and Rupert are interviewed, and we briefly see Emma’s parents in the background. I picked this video because Dee reminded me of another video, that I’ve never seen. It’s also from the CoS LA premiere, from Access Hollywood. Here is one of two screenshots that exist. If you have the video, or know where I can get it, please contact us.

In other news, the London Free Press is also reporting that Emma is interested in moving to the US. Personally I don’t think it’s true at all, and that this story is just a rumor copied from another site. I think Emma loves England too much. She also talks all the time about how she wants to keep her life as normal as possible, so I really don’t think the Hollywood lifestyle would interest her. But we’ll see.

Reminders: Don’t forget to send in your entries for the Music Video Contest (see December 8 update for information) to emmawatson.contest@gmail.com. And you have just over a week to send in your entries for the Calendar Competition, to emmawatson.graphics@gmail.com. And last but not least, don’t forget, vote Emma at the CBBC Poll.
