Hello EW.netters 😆
Can you believe that Emma’s birthday was just a fortnight ago?!
Anyway, we haven’t got much news for you today, apart from a new article in which David Yates (the OotP director) mentions Emma:
“What’s great is that each of the actors, Dan and Rupert and Emma, are getting older, more capable and more ambitious,” Yates said. “They’re really keen to push themselves as actors, and actually the material is really allowing them to do quite heavy, interesting things.”
To read the whole article, which is about “sizzling summer cinema”, click here 🙂
Last but not least, don’t forget our shippers music video contest! The rules can be found in our March 13th update, and the deadline is May 13th… Only 14 days left! I’m sure you don’t want your ship to be under-represented… so don’t waste any time and send your wonderful music videos to emmawatson.contest@gmail.com 😛
Have a nice day!

Hello Emma fans,
We have two great new interviews for you today! Thanks to Solo from our boards, unforgivable-curses.net and everyone else that sent us the information. You all rock! 🙂
First of all, The Leaky Cauldron just posted a very interesting new Emma interview (from the Italian magazine Donna): in it, Emma talks about OotP and J.K. Rowling but also says that she would like to live in Paris (my city! yay!) and that she would be interested in studying Philosophy or Literature when she goes to University… As you can guess, this interview is definitely a must-read, Emma really seems to open up in it 🙂 so don’t waste any time and click here to read it! 😆
Also, DailyBulletin.com has a new Emma interview, in which she addresses the rumor about her not returning as Hermione in the last HP movies and talks about what Dan & Rupert mean to her:
“Emma Watson, who’ll be seen as bossy Hermione Granger for the fifth time in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” (July 13) says that she’ll be attending Hogwarts through graduation.
“They just decided, on absolutely nothing to go on, that they were just going to make up one way or another what I was doing,” the English actress says of reports that she wanted to pull out of the popular kid wizard series before its sixth and final seventh episodes are filmed. “I guess they got the idea that I wasn’t going to complete the series because I actually took some time to think about it. The press are a bit funny like that.”
Oxford native Watson, who turned 17 this month and is currently cramming for her college entrance exams, happily chose to stick with co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint to the end. All are anxiously awaiting J.K. Rowling’s last novel in the best-selling phenomenon, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” to find out what happens to their beloved characters. The book comes out eight days after “Phoenix” hits theaters.
When you think about it, it would be nearly impossible for one of the young actors not to complete Hermione, Harry and Ron Weasley’s journey into adulthood. After all, the three of them have grown up sharing a connection as unique as the aspiring magicians’.
“Daniel and Rupert are the only other people in the world who will ever understand what it is like to have been through what I have been through,” Watson notes. “I think we have quite a special bond. Even if we hated each other and didn’t get on at all, we would always have that. That’s important to me, being able to talk to them about it and going through it all with them.”
While acknowledging that all of the Harry Potter stories are in some way coming-of-age tales, Watson says that the magical friends do more growing up than ever in “Phoenix.”
“It’s about realizing that what you are told is not always the best, and that thinking for yourself is sometimes more important,” she observes. “And it’s important to trust yourself and make decisions for yourself.”
Lesson, apparently, learned.”
Update: some of you expressed their concern that the Donna magazine interview was “fake” and asked that we checked its authenticity. To go straight to the point: we have no way of doing that. We are not in contact with the magazine, and even if we were, it’s unlikely that they would admit the interview is “fake”. The Leaky Cauldron, which is a very respectable Harry Potter website and is known for its reliable content, posted the translated interview first and we chose to rely on them for its authenticity. 😉
Enjoy and have a nice day! 😆

Hi Everyone,
We have a great new old pic for you from Fred of Emma during the COS era. I think it’s pretty rare, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before. Isn’t she adorable! 🙂
Next up, Anna sent us a couple of scans from the German magazine Bravo-Girl. She won a starstyle competition to be Emma for a day.
We also have a scan from Vale at HarryPotterLA.com from In Touch Weekly, and finally, a scan from Nathalie from the French free magazine Com ca from 15 April.
Have a great day!
