Emma Watson is simply lovely on the cover of Yo Dona magazine’s next issue. We have a preview image from their website. Thanks to Samantha for the tip. If anyone can send in some scans we would be most grateful.
Update: A big Thank You to Mai for sending in scans so quickly.

Seventeen magazine (not the US edition) also has an article on Emma in their July issue. I think this is from the South Africa edition. You can see a preview cover on their website. |
We have some photos of the article from coolgal over at the Rupert and Emma Forum. If anyone can get some nice scans, please send them in.
Update: Amanda sent in a translation for the Yo Dona article. Thanks Amanda.
COVER: More over Harry Potter:I want to convince the world that I can be more than Hermione.
PAGE ONE:(From child actor to diva, little is left of little Hermione, know-it-all friend of Harry Potter, who in the sixth installment of the saga shows a more sensual side of herself. Emma Watson named one of the sexiest woman in the world, probably feels more comfortable now then she did back then. However, this is not her only title; she is also a fashion icon)From a caterpillar to a butterfly, Emma Watson (Born in Paris, 15th of April 1990) is no longer a child, even though being younger she already knew how to manage herself in interviews. She is old enough to drive, go to a pub and even go to University (She has decided to take a break from the public eye and take a year off). The smartest student in Hogwarts school- she’s also smart in real life, graduating with top marks- she’s turned into one of the sexiest stars on the big screen. When Watson was chosen to play Hermione Granger at the tender age of nine, she didn’t suspect that she would turn into the female protagonist of one of the most successful film franchises of all time. A decade later, with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood prince about to premiere: the physical changes of the actress are more prominent than ever: her curls have died out, her hair has turned blonde and her image is more sophisticated. Also, the evolution of her character, who abandons the spoiled image to a more kind and sensual image. And as if by magic. Also, there are still those who confuse reality with fantasy, actress and character; something she repents. As the Harry Potter saga reaches its end (Only two films remain). It will be then, and only then when Emma Watson begins to soar and has the opportunity to demonstrate that’s there is life after Hermione.
YO DONA: Think for a moment that day in the Berkeley Hotel in London, when you, Rupert and Dan were playing Monopoly, just before the premiere of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone to the world wide press. Did you imagine than that those big changes were about to happen in your life?
Emma Watson: I think that I was too young to notice it, even though, obviously, I was scared to death! I didn’t think of the fact the JK Rowling was about to write seven novels. Nor did I suspect that the saga would become so popular. Nobody knew that the film would turn into one of the most successful movies of all time.
PAGE TWO:
YO DONA: Does feel different to work in the new film, after the three protagonists have done other projects?
Emma Watson: Yes. It’s been great to be back and speak to Dan (Daniel Radcliffe) and Rupert (Grint) about their other projects and comment on the difference between theater and in television. It’s left us with much security, because we started younger with the Potter films. For me it was important to do Ballet Shoes; I learned a lot thanks to that experience.
YO DONA: has it bothered you that your character (Hermione) has a romantic history with Ron (Rupert Grint)? I say it, mostly because he’s an old friend…
Emma Watson: No it was very hard. Rupert was very calm, and it doesn’t matter to me because I like Romantic Comedy. He and I added a bit of comedic relief to the movies once they became darker. It’s fun to see Rupert that way. Hermione and Ron are very different, but they have a special element. It will be a bit uncomfortable to do the kissing scenes; there’s no other word to describe it, but its part of the job.
YO DONA: With 19 years of age, what’s your goal?
Emma Watson: To convince the world I’m more than Hermione.
YO DONA: have you ever thought of rebelling?
Emma Watson: I work way too much to have time to think of that. But I’m sure that when I’m 30 I’ll have a hormonal breakdown and do everything I’m missing out on now.
YO DONA: Is it difficult to find a girl of your age as down-to-earth as you. Like in the U.S. all the actors of your generation lose it.
Emma Watson: I understand them. The interest just comes up all of a sudden and your life is superior to the capacity of anyone standing them. Even if you’re young, the pressure you feel all the calls for perfection….it hard to stand it all.
YO DONA: Would it be difficult to maintain a normal emotional relationship…
Emma Watson: Relationships are complicated themselves, and without noticing the weight of the world watching over you. They’re watching if you go out with someone, if there’s a crisis, a break-up… But I don’t want to say that I have had them.
YO DONA: When you meet new people, do you trust the?
Emma Watson: I trust my instinct. I’ve learned to be good when it comes to knowing why people have an interest in me.
YO DONA: How do your friends act around you, now that you’re rich and famous?
Emma Watson: It’s only weird for them when we go out and the people recognize me on the street. On the other hand, they know how to be protective.
YO DONA: Do you always pay?
Emma Watson: No! It would be uncomfortable for them.
YO DONA: You’re a fashion icon the British media. Could you describe your style?
Emma Watson: I’m a true Londoner. The time is very grey in my city, and that favors an eclectic and crazy fashion time. I mix the style of the street with vintage and designer jewelry. I have fun. My mother is very elegant; I think I’ve learned a lot from her.
YO DONA: And from Kate Moss?
Emma Watson: She also has style. You notice it in the cloths she wears. In the U.S you don’t go out if your stylist hasn’t told you what to wear. That’s why the way of dressing over there is a bit interesting.
YO DONA: Have you ever felt the need to be thin?
Emma Watson: I’ve never felt the need to be thin; always being very thin isn’t pretty. I’m never on a diet. I love cooking and eat. I make excellent raspberry tarts and amaretti (almond pastries).
YO DONA: How does it feel to wear dresses that Chanel sends you or the places your profession let’s you travel to?
Emma Watson: It’s incredible to get those gowns, because I’ve always loved designer clothing. It’s the best. If anyone dresses me for a premiere, it’ll be Chanel. Physically, I don’t have time to go shopping for those events, that’s why it’s good that they lend me these cloths. It’s also great to travel with all the people I’ve worked with. What other profession would have offered me all these opportunities?
YO DONA: Do you have a diary?
Emma Watson: I save some things from my childhood, with little memos about thins I said or though. I also keep boxes of memorabilia, including a piece of the Giant chess set. I have a lot of little things they let us keep.
YO DONA: It’ll probably be good for doing an autobiography some day…
Emma Watson: No, I don’t imagine doing one. It’s too strange and weird to look back and contemplate over that small girl. I criticize myself a lot, and it would be difficult to watch the first few films. I’m very proud of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but I had to see it two or here times before I was calm enough to be able to concentrate on my interpretation.
YO DONA: How did it feel, in 2007, to receive the Best Female Interpretation award at the ITV national Films Awards?
Emma Watson: It was very nice. I didn’t expect to win it. It wasn’t only about Order of the Phoenix, it was for all the movies; I was flattered to with the fact that the public voted for me to get that award. It was one of my proudest moments.
YO DONA: Your cast mates say that they’ve banned you from the ping-pong table because you’re too good.
Emma Watson: [Laughs] I hope they let me play again, because I love playing. When I was small I was a bit of a tomboy and did a lot of sports.
YO DONA: What other things do you have in your trailers in the studio?
Emma Watson: Rupert has darts, billiards, ping-pong and video game consuls. Dan has books and music. During the summer I was so bored I painted a large mural in my trailer. Besides that, it is very feminine, it has candles, pillows, and all the things us girls like.
Emma looks so pretty in the white dress! And in the checked blouse too… Go Emma!
thanks
nice pice emma watson i love youu 😉 🙂
Yo Dona is only sold in Spain right?Because I've never heard of it. Anyways thanks for the scans!
Yo Dona is from Spain, but it may be sold in other countries at shops that carry foreign magazines.
I read this news in another hp website and I was like "That's not in 17 magazine!" Had I missed something? So I guess is the South African one…
blah, I knew it wasn’t the US issue, but I’m not positive about it being the SA issue. Emma is on the cover, but now I wonder why coolgal didn’t scan the cover. If anyone has an account on the R&E forums maybe they could ask for sure.
sad it wasnt the US version though… 🙁
I t is the south african cover, i bought it last week its really nice, and the interview wasn't that different: school, money, potter films. they did show how emma is a trend setter.
NiKKiI-SA, any chance you can send in better scans?
BTW the Yo Donna article is an old interview…no new info 🙂 Thanks for the scans Mai.
Apart from modeling and advertising Burberry, Ms. Watson is also famous for playing Hermione Granger: http://mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=/hbpfilm/hermioneportrait.jpg 🙂
Emma looks lovely as ever. She's the best! Emma, you ROCK!!! GO, EMMA!! 😀
Hi! I'm from Brazil. I love Emma Watson she is beautiful! She's the best.Emma go Brazil
Emma Brazil loves you!
Thanks for the scans. Emma is stunning as always.
Wow. Thanks.
She is unbelievably sexy in that white dress. 😉 🙂
There are a lot of international editions to the Seventeen Magazine if you guys check Wiki so it could be any one of them
Yo Dona interview is the same as the one featured in the earlier Candy issue as a matter of fact. It's just in a different order, so the pictures are the value.
The seventeen magazine scans is from July Singapore issue
She looks great, but she also looks a little bit like a clown in the third picture.
😥 i want to see Emma in my real life^^
🙁 So do we.
This must be probably the biggest fansite for those who admire, adore and even breath Emma. And every day the site is updated, every day new pics, videos and other beautiful content are shown. But, in my opinion, that isn't everything what a fansite like this must have. There are mutiple things what can make this site so much better. And I don't want to sound like a jerk who's just complaining about everything. But as a real admirer of Emma, I think there can be more. More, to keep us satisfied with the fact we will probably never ever meet her and we just have to do with this site. But that doesn't have to mean one single site isn't sufficient. It would be so nice if this site would be bigger and even more related to EW than it already is. Please reply if you agree (or not ofcourse).
DeanBean and everyone,We do welcome suggestions of ways to improve the site. If there are things you would like to see added, let us know.
Well, a poll would be nice. Then every week a new one, or so. That isn't a big improvement, but it is a beginning, I guess.
😕 He should have been a bit more specific… What exactly is there you don`t get here (or on EWO)? Monthly video-adresses by Emma to her fans here? Site-exclusive photo material? A competition to win a ticket to Emma`s next BD-party? That would be nice, but it`s not going to happen. And if it would, it`d be on EWO. So I don`t really see how this site could be "closer" to Emma. But who knows, maybe I`m just blind ? 😕
😕 A poll ? About what ?
Obviously there are many things that we could not do. Either impossible, or not practical. That doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to improve the site, things that fans would like to see here. A poll is not a bad idea (I did get your email Dean). Polls could ask a lot of questions. They don’t have to be important, could even just be for fun.
I remember that someone on the site was asking wether there are more male or female fans. That can be the first poll. It not really asking about the opinions of the people who visit this though, but it is nice to know. And besides, those who don't believe in something, achieve nothing. In other words: we could give it a try for those 'big improvements' you (130671) just named, you'll never know. Maybe I am an optimist, it are just thoughts.
Sorry for the dubblepost
😛 Ooops…that thing about the m/f-fan-ratio, that was me…
Haha, I knew it!:lol: But I couldn't find where you posted it. So I wasn't too sure about it. But nevermind..
Ok, maybe others have ideas for polls too…
😕 Although right now they`re all very silent.
Haha, and I was thinking that there were millions of fans on this site. 😕 NOT! No I am just joking. Maybe they are thinking very hard at the moment. Or they have some very smart ideas, but they rather keep them for themselves than to share it.
That wouldn`t be very smart… c u 😉
😉 Well, we don’t have millions of fans, but only a small number of the thousands that visit every day leave comments.
Ofcourse, I know. They are probably a bit shy. A shame though. But I am gonna shut up now, I have said enough, I let the others speak.:razz: Hopefully they have some good ideas 🙂
Go ahead Emma !! you're the best 🙂 so pretty !!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂
Some fans won't post a thing because they believe is pointless, a waste of time, since nobody will read their comments. However, how can the web masters know what they want if they don't say?
When a site is open to hear suggestions, the best thing that a fan can do is to offer whatever ideas might have in there, since are suggestions and not demands, is not a fact that the ideas will be taken for sure, but the webmasters will hear them, indeed.
I can assure you, I read every comment.
Someone who navigates often or almost everyday through this site and wishes to modify, add or contribute somehow to make the experience even nicer, should take a few minutes writing’em.
Not that there’s something that I don’t like, damn, besides EWO, my second reliable source is this, I check it as often as I can and hell, there is already something new and accurate, not only that, Mr. Dook and the staff makes sure that the information provided is accurate and not some crap rumor.
I guess one of the reasons of why some don’t post… “She looks gorgeous in that dress…” If one post it, some feel is pointless to say it again. But is not, that’s why polls exists to take in account everybody’s opinion regardless of what it is.
Something else to take into account is what Mr. Dook says and does. Only a few webmasters I know take the time to read the comments, and personally I’m grateful for it. So I know indeed he does read the suggestions. But hey, you can’t expect him to answer each and every comment 24 hours a day, can u? Being a webmaster is pretty hard, I’ve been a moderator of other site and I know…
Sooo gorgeous… 🙂 😉
Mr. Dook. I’m aware of the great current layouts of the site, some more would be great since creates a personal sensation, with different fonts and all. Or change the general layout, say, every month?
