Jo updated Emma’s Official Site today with two pictures taken by Emma’s father on the set of “Ballet Shoes” 😆

And there’s a new press junket interview! You can view it here over at NBC. Thanks to IHW for the tip.

Update: We now have a copy of the video you can download thanks to Nives. The audio is not the best, and there’s a loud ding about half way through so watch out for that.

Hey everybody,

Interesting news! Emma was mentioned in an article written by Alison Lurie for the highly prestigious New York Review of Books magazine. The article was about the last HP book and the latest HP movie, which explains why Emma got mentioned in a book review 🙂

“For the actors who play the Hogwarts students, it is a different story. They are also talented and hardworking, but they must take their jobs seriously. They also have the disadvantage of having been cast when very young (in the first film in the series, they were mostly ten or eleven) and thus being identified almost entirely with their roles. There is also the problem that they have grown up faster than the books have been written, and therefore faster than the films can be made. The last Harry Potter book, though it takes place only six years later than the first, took ten years to appear. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the principals are all supposed to be fifteen, but Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) is now in fact eighteen, while Emma Watson (Hermione) and Rupert Grint (Ron) are seventeen. (On the other hand, Evanna Lynch, the charming young Irish actress who plays Luna Lovegood, is actually fifteen; in her case it is unnecessary to suspend disbelief.) As time passes, the necessities of film production and distribution will only increase these discrepancies.

Meanwhile, all of the principals have become millionaires many times over: Daniel Radcliffe, according to report, is now the richest teenager in Britain. Emma Watson is worth fourteen million pounds, and she has also recently been voted one of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World by the British men’s magazine FHM. It is difficult to know how this development will be reconciled with the rather strikingly sexless adventures of the main characters in the final volume of J.K. Rowling’s series.”

You can read the entire article here (and I really recommend it, as it’s extremely interesting).

Have a nice day,

Time to vote, Emma fans. 😆

Movies.com is having their second annual Reader’s Poll, and Emma is nominated in the Hottest Up and Coming Female category. Not only that, but her website is nominated for Favorite Official Actress Website (the text says emmawatson.com but the link is correct). Dan is nominated for Hottest Up and Coming Male, and there are a couple other HP related nominations.

Emma currently has a good lead with 49% of the vote, and EWO is leading at 54%, but your votes count too. Visit http://movies.go.com/fanpoll to cast your votes through September 25. You can only vote once. The results will be announced October 2.

And thanks to our Order partner The Leaky Cauldron for letting us know that Emma is included in People magazine’s best dressed list! Well done, Emma! The magazine is on newsstands this Friday.

Also, we have 9 more pics from the Parade photoshoot. It’s the same outfits, but different poses, and still only MQ unfortuneately.  See them here in the gallery. The last 9 are the new ones. Thanks to Kika at www.wentworthmillerfan.org

‘Ello! 🙂

Thanks very much to HPANA we now know that Warner Bros. confirmed a release date for the OotP DVD! 😆 The date is set  for December 11th, instead of earlier rumours of a November 12th release.

The DVD includes:

The Two-Disc Special Edition, Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD will include: 10 minutes of never before seen footage; an A&E documentary; a featurette called “Trailing Tonks,” in which you spend a day with actress Nat Tena and receive a very personal and often wacky tour of the “Order of the Phoenix” stages; a “Harry Potter: The Magic of Editing” feature, in which director David Yates and editor Mark Day show us what a difference a good edit makes and then allow you to edit a scene; “The Hidden Secrets of Harry Potter” in which look for clues in the past Harry Potter films for what the future films may hold; an “In Movie Experience,” in which you join the cast from Dumbledore’s Army as they come together to share memorable moments; as well as more “making of” featurettes and “Fun and Games.”

You can see the cover here!

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend! 🙂
