About action in OotP (2007): "Oh my god! Seriously! There's only a certain amount of looking concerned at the edge of a scene that I can do. It was really nice, it brought me back to the first film, I was like "YES!." We've just started the final sequence, and I've got dirt on my face and blood, I'm running around. Yes. This is definitely the place I want Hermione to be. It's really really nice to get back to the action, it's great."

New music video contest // 18 January 2008

Hey EW.netters,

As you all know, 2007 was a very exciting year for Emma fans: OotP was released and Emma starred in her first non-HP movie. Now, 2008 has just started, and while we’re impatiently waiting for HBP and The Tale of Desperaux, we thought we’d take a look back on the characters Emma has played so far, namely Hermione & Pauline. And what better way to do this than to organise a music video contest? πŸ™‚

Here are the rules:

your music video cannot be about Emma and thus cannot contain clips or pictures of Emma as herself (interviews, events…).
– your music video must be either about Hermione or Pauline. One video cannot be about both characters.
– but the good news is that you can submit one (and only one!) video per category. In other words, one contestant can send us up to two music videos: one about Hermione and one about Pauline, but not two about Hermione or two about Pauline.
– your music video can contain clips from the movies (and in the case of Harry Potter, clips from the Queen’s birthday special), promo pictures and stills.
– once your music video is ready, upload it (sendspace, megaupload, rapidshare, filefactory…) and send us the download link (emmawatson.contest@gmail.com). Do not send us a YouTube link!
– you should also send us a little text about what inspired you to make the video, what you like about the character, why you chose the song you used…
– the winners (3 for each category) will be announced in our #17 Watson Weekly issue (not the next one but the one after) and the #1 winners in both categories will receive a beautiful piece of Art featuring Hermione and made by our talented staff member Amy.
– last but not least, if you have any question, don’t hesitate to send me an email or a PM (I’m Neve on the boards)!

EDIT: sorry, I totally forgot to tell you when the deadline is πŸ˜‰  Well, you have until March 18th (two months!) to send us your music videos.

Good luck to everybody! πŸ™‚

[ Neve ]

    omg I just love the layout by Maud! Though there should be just one layout, and they should be changed more often. switching layouts is not the best idea. Great work anyway, Maud!

  2. Hannah says:

    OH WOW! Thankyou for taking my idea! this should be alot of fun and everyone can make a video of emma, Good luck everyone! Hannahx

  15. Jess says:

    Where can I find videos of Hermione on the Internet to download?

  16. Ivan says:

  17. ELIZABETH says:

    HI ALL YOU EMMA LOVERS! I'M ELIZABETH FROM GEORGIA! P.S. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TOD OR HBP. eM…YOU ROCK!!!!!! ELIZABETH AGE 12

  18. Kim says:

    Do you have to make a video especially for this or can you use one that you've already created a while back but also fits the criteria?

  19. Vicky says:

    I think the Layout by Maud is the Best <333 And I wouldn't switch the Layouts either…

  20. sara 209 says:

    emma rules

  21. Neve says:

    To Kim: yes, you can send a video that you made a while ago, don't worry!

  22. Ivan says:

    Neve, please, send or show my first message from Movie Magic's comments to Jo. I need to know what she thinks about it. Email for reply written in email box. Thanks beforehand:)

  23. elizabeth darcy says:

    thr's a poll for HP folks like us.take it. πŸ˜† http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080118153959AArrH7Z&r=w&pa=FZptH Wf.BGRX3OFPgTRdURVFtLvgqLYoVHTtYZah6HkQrEhVM A–&paid=answered#G7dTB3P5IGqqPMZ36_T3 hurry folks. πŸ™‚

  24. dook says:

    Ivan, it’s not a new idea. Others have suggested things like that already.

  25. Ivan says:

    Dook, don't quite like that. Ok, it was my latest comment about that.

  26. Hiltje says:

    i've heard this rumour that the seventh Harry Potter will be two movies. They said it contained to much 'information' to put it all in just one movie. Can anyone tell me if this is true?

  27. x says:

    i just wanted to say that i love the quotes that u put, its new every day and i love it!

  28. karinaki says:

    i love the new layouts but i don't get why they don't work… πŸ™ dook?

  29. John says:

    Hi, I'd like to make a video and theres many wonderful clips on youtube that I would like to use. Does anyone have any clue how to download a video on youtube? ….If thats even possible…. Thanks so much!

  30. Ivan says:

    Exactly I mean not quite like that. I just have to say what I did not heard about ICM (not as site) and chat through web cam before I send this message. I heard about text chat, but text chat and video chat it's very different things. Just say if I wrong and you saw it before, dook. And it's so hard – copy text, past it to new letter, choose Jo's address and click to send?

  31. Hiltje says:

    Thanks Kim for the information πŸ™‚ I'm really excited about the last two 'halves'

  32. mailis says:

    hey!how log this movie have to be?

  33. dook says:

    mailis, there is no required length. People usually make them as long as the song they are using.
