About auditioning (2007): "Mum and Dad kept trying to make me realise there was only a very small chance because thousands of other children had been seen. I was not at a performing-arts school - just a small school in Oxford. But I badly wanted it."

Birthday Project – Part 1 // 30 January 2007

Emma-Watson.net World Picture Book
by the Fans

Emma has said that she loves to travel, that one of the best things of being in the Harry Potter movies is getting the chance to go places she’s never been. Well here’s your chance to show Emma why she should visit your country or city! For this year’s birthday project we are making a picture book of places around the world using pictures taken by you, her fans. We would like you to send us your pictures from your country. Pictures that show its beauty. Pictures that show what is special about your country. Pictures that show what you love about your country. πŸ™‚

Rules:

  • The pictures should be about places. Like a beautiful landscape or a city, or even a building. They can be from the countryside, or in the city. It’s ok if you or other people are in the picture, but the picture should be about the place, not the people.
  • You may submit up to 3 pictures from your country. You may also submit up to 3 pictures from a country you’ve visited. So up to 6 pictures total.
  • Please identify each picture with a location, and short description. For example, “Eiffel Tower, Paris, France”, or “Ayers Rock, Australia”.
  • Include a short paragraph explaining why you like the place and what it means to you.
  • The pictures must be taken by you, and by sending them to us you are giving us permission to use them in the EW.net World Picture Book. The pictures do not have to be new.
  • The pictures should be digital images, or high quality scans. Please send the pictures as email attachments, or links to image hosting sites.
  • We will not be able to use all the pictures submitted (it’s a book, not an encyclopedia πŸ˜› ) so think carefully about what pictures to send. Only the best and most interesting will be included.
  • The deadline for submitting your pictures is March 5th.
  • Please send them to emmawatson.project@gmail.com

Part 2 – Coming soon. πŸ˜‰

    Rule update: I have updated the rules to say that the pictures do not have to be new. As long as they were taken by you, they can be from any time.

  2. Ahlam says:

    Guys the beautiful place is Qatar because it is SOooo cool and it is in Asia and arabic countre woooow πŸ™‚ πŸ˜‰ :razz:and Good luck every 1 πŸ™‚

  3. Ahlam says:

    Dook sorry i dont understand u πŸ™

  4. dook says:

    Ahlam, about the rule update? It just means that you don\'t have to take the pictures now. They could be from a vacation last summer, or from a couple years ago. As long as they are your pictures.

  5. Obi says:

    hehe πŸ™‚ damn i need a came … i should buy one i think …

  6. jacobine says:

    Oh, I think that EMma loves to see the farmgirls from Holland πŸ˜›

  7. ssara says:

    Does everyone have to put own name on this? I mean, if you send a picture and a paragraph.

  8. Danielle says:

    Thus is a fab birthday project i bet emma will love it! I just want to ask 1 thing if u live in the uk can u still send in foto's? I live in scotland though so i dont no if tht will make a difference 2? Nice POTD dan x

  9. dook says:

    ssara, you can just use your first name, or even just use ssara if you like. Danielle, yes, if you live in the UK you can still send in photos. I\'m sure Emma hasn\'t seen everything in her country. If you lived in Oxford it might be harder to find something she hasn\'t seen , but really, it\'s more about having pictures that represent all the places her fans are from. πŸ˜›

  10. Ahlam says:

    xxxOk Dook thanks πŸ™‚ :wink:xxxx

  21. Rubelle Da Rebel! says:

  22. POLSKAEMMA says:

  23. Obi says:

    i can't believe that , you can buy a sculpture of Hogwarts per 349 € lol

  24. Angel says:

    Emma doesn't like Pavia(Italy) :cry:I'm sure! :cry:I haven't got a digital photocamera! πŸ˜₯ 😑 πŸ™

  25. Iza says:

    nice pic of the day πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜›

  26. Iza says:

    Well,honestly I don't think Emma has heard someting about my country. I mean, I don't know if she knows where it's situated! πŸ˜› But anyway,I'll send some pictures,but I don't think she will come in all the countries from the "World Picture Book" πŸ™‚

  27. Jeanne says:

    POLSKAEMMA, I think that Emma won't "choose" one country, she might try to visit them all. And, just curious, Iza, what country are you from? I know for Sure emma has never heard of Latvia (nor has anybody else for that matter)… btw, dook, check e-w.net e-mail, how long can you wait to open a single letter (if you already did and didn't like what was in there, just say that, please, like you did for karinaki), or should I send another one just like it?

  28. Mharlon says:

    What I'm talking about the updates Dook, is that Dook, the updates, the same pictures from previous days are always up posted. I just noticed it, its becoming annoying which is kind of a problem. A site which is full of repeated pictures from previous days. You should only post up only one picture from each day, not always repeated. The rest of the pictures are ok, its not that annoying. Anyways, she still looks hot!!!

  29. Ghina says:

    omg! i loove the idea, it's so creative! i live in Lebanon … it's in Asia, an arabic country, it's a little small, but it has reallyyy great places to visit, tourists come here in large groups every year to see all the old palaces and stuff like that πŸ˜† i'm gonna definetly try as best as i can to take cool pictures, i'm sure Emma would love it here, hope she will come and visit πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜› ok tc everybodyyy xoxo PS: if anyone knows Lebanon, or lives there plz tell me if it's worth sending in the pics And Angel, i've been to Italy, and it's my favorite country !! i'm positivly sure that Emma would want to visit, cz it's really really B.E.AUUUTIFUL πŸ˜†

  30. Jeanne says:

    Mharlon, I seriously don't get what you're talking… are you talking about PotD or some other pics? if PotD, it doesn't repeat, it just doesn't change at 0.00 am…

  31. Mharlon says:

    To make things clear, if you want to remember the pictures from the past which is good then I guess its ok to me. But don't always post it up every single day is what I'm talking about, cause it looks similar from the day before, and its so annoying and confusing to some fans of Emma herself, anyways she still looks gorgeous!

  32. naro says:

    wooooow i'm sure emma will love it it's so suitable 4 her besides it'd be much cooler than those which r sold in the official site :razz:ISN'T IT??

  33. Mharlon says:

    What I'm talking about Jeanne is the pictures that have been dated from day to day, not from the PotD! Above the Quote, the updates below the Quote, sorry if you didn't get me first try. Well anyways, I hope you understand me now.

  34. naro says:

    the VOW is so wonderful πŸ™‚ i truelly love it πŸ™‚

  35. Jeanne says:

    so let me get this straight: you don't want to see her past pictures everyday, because… you can't remember what she looks like now anymore? πŸ˜•

  36. dook says:

    Mharlon, I don\'t know what you are talking about either. There is one picture that has been reposted, the screencap from the helicopter video. I posted that in December when I asked if anyone had the video. When we got the video, I posted it again as a reminder of the video. We aren\'t posting up the same pictures every day.

  37. Jeanne says:

    sorry, now I'm even more confused… there are no pictures above or below wuotes and updates! are you talking about the layout from DL premiere? sorry if it's obvious to everyone else, I just don't get it… I'm a blockhead πŸ˜›

  38. Jeanne says:

    are you talking about scans?

  39. dook says:

    Jeanne, we will try to get to your email as soon as we can. We get a lot of emails, and a lot of pictures sent to us. It takes a while to go through them and see if they are duplicates. Oh, and I\’m sure a lot of people have heard of Latvia. Ghina, about your question in the other update, sorry, I don\’t know if Emma has a lucky number.

  40. naro says:

    GHINA…& ALL THE OTHERS… DON'T HESITATE ANYMORE bcause lebanon is great & all the countries r every country has its own atmospher of beauty so u need 2 send z pics & the staff members will choose the best ones OK??

  41. karinaki says:

    Danielle, send the pics form Scotland!!! It is my fav place in the World!! How i wish i could live there!!! Jeanne, in my city, everyone knows Latvia, and personally have seen it, and i think it's an amazing place to live!!! πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜†

  42. karinaki says:

    Dook, about the calendar comp isn't 1280×1024 a little big? Coz i made mine with this size, and it was huge!!! Don't know, hope i didn't do anything wrong…. πŸ˜• Oh, and do we have any abatement about the pics for the WPB that we send?? I'm how many countries will you choose? All of them? I bet this is gonna be a very big book…. πŸ™‚

  43. Obi says:

    Hi all … πŸ™‚

  44. Jeanne says:

    seriously?! πŸ˜• wait, where exatcly do you live again? πŸ˜• I'm actually really surprised, 'cause we're such a small country (about 2,3 mill. people), Ok, we have the biggest inflation level in Europe, but that's nothing to be proud of… I think that the only thing we can be known for is hosting Hockey World Cup 2006, NATO Summit 2006 (november), and that our female president almost became ANO general secretary (she would've been the first female to do that)… and, of course (what a pity that I have to say "of course" :cry:) many adults come to Old Riga to "party"…

  45. Obi says:

    Yeah that book will weighing kilos πŸ™‚

  46. karinaki says:

    Jeanne, i live in Athens-that's in Greece for those who don't know! πŸ˜‰ Wow you know a lot things about your country! That's nice to hear! And yes all of us know Latvia…!

  47. dook says:

    karinaki, i think the calendar dimensions were an error, but that was our mistake so don\'t worry. The pics for the book can be any size, and bigger is better. We will of course have to resize them to fit in the book. We plan to include all countries that people submit pictures for. That of course means we can only choose a small number of pictures for each country, so, everyone, make sure you pick the best pictures you can.

  48. Jeanne says:

    Oh, c'mon, I'm not like all my class-mates, their biggest event of the week is when Robbie Williams or Beyonce or Shakira get their new album out… I watch a knews a lot, 'cause my sister's a journalist, and other reasons too… But seriously, how do you know about it? Athens is like sooo far away from here…

  49. XXX says:

    Brilliant! Can't wait to make some pictures of Holland's best places to show our beloved Emms. πŸ™‚
