Hey everybody!

Thanks to the lovely Thais, we have some great scans for you today: the Brazilian magazine “Atrevidinha” showed its great taste by choosing our dear Emma as its cover girl 🙂

Go Emma! 😆

Bad news guys. According to this article Emma did NOT sign for the next two Harry Potter movies and the WB confirmed it. Right now, we don’t know anything else, so stay tuned for any update.

Even if this is the end of an era, Emma has to know that we respect her decision and that we’ll support her no matter what. She doesn’t need to play Hermione for us to love her.

EDIT: OK, I’ve just been told by many people that “News of the World” isn’t exactly the most reliable source out there (I didn’t know it, because I just didn’t know “News of the World”, it doesn’t exist in France). So don’t panic, it may just be another silly rumor. Let’s wait for something official from the WB 🙂

UPDATE: according to CBBC Newsround (which is quite more reliable than The Sun or News of the World), nothing is signed yet but a spokesperson for Warner Bros said: “We’re extremely confident that Emma will be back for films six and seven.”

So let’s just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best 🙂

Nice one, Emma! The various items she donated to the WTT charity raised £1568.59 (which is almost €2300 or $3050!).

Her signed picture raised £270.00

The cast signed train set went for £608.02

The Grey Wulff fly tied by Emma herself, along with a signed card reached £380.00

The Harry Potter tote bag made £165.00

The Time Turner fetched £81.00

The novelty toys and journal went for £26.00

The Harry & Hedwige figurine reached £26.07

And the childs HP t-shirt fetched £12.50

Congrats to all the lucky bidders! And more importantly, thanks to Emma for having such a big heart, you just gotta love her!  🙂

Have a nice day,

Newsflash everyone!!

An article in the Sun is reporting that Emma has signed for the last two movies. “Sources at studio Warner Brothers say she has just signed a deal to star in the last two adaptations of the JK Rowling books.”

The article also talks about a stalker incident at her school and that police were called in to handle an overzealous fan.

This is all just rumor at this point. We’ll let you know more when we can.

You can read the full article here. Thanks to Joseph for the news tip.

First up, it’s time to announce the monthly Calendar Competition 😆

Here are the rules again. 😉

• The size of the calender should be at least 1024×768
• It must have Emma-Watson.net and April on it
• Your calendar should be in by the 30th of March
• All entries must be sent to emmawatson.graphics@gmail.com
• Good luck and have fun 🙂

And second, I’m getting rather tired of warning people that the comments are not a chatbox. 😡 So, I have decided to add a chatbox to the site. There are some rules, which you should read, but basically if you act respectfully towards others, you can chat about almost anything. Last nights football game, your favorite pizza, how boring school is. If you have comments about the news though we’d like you to post it here in the comments. The chatbox will be monitored, but here in the comments is where you should talk about the news, and the site. We’ll try it out for a while, and if it works out ok, and people mostly behave, we’ll keep it. You can find the chatbox on our Interact page, or use the link below. There is also a link to a popup chatbox so you can chat and continue browsing the site. 🙂

Have a good day!

Hey Emma fans,

I couldn’t resist buying another set of the HP stamps that are available this week in France… This time, I chose the Ron Weasley-themed one, not only because Ron rocks (duh!) but also because other beloved HP characters are featured on that particular set: not only Harry, Ginny, Luna and Neville but also and more importantly the brightest witch of her age: Hermione Granger! This Hermione stamp is slighly different from the one we posted a few days ago… so enjoy!

And you can buy all the French HP stamps online here (click on the links under “existe aussi en” to see the other sets available). Thanks to our friends from UHP for letting us know 🙂

Have a nice day,

Hello everybody !

Due to how successful our Hermione music video contest was and because the release OotP is coming closer everyday (yay!) we decided that it would be a good idea to launch another HP-related music video contest… except that this time the music videos will not be about Hermione only but either about Ron & Hermione or Harry & Hermione. In other words, we’re having a shippers music video contest! 😆

The rules are simple:

–         Create your own music video with clips from the movies, the deleted scenes, the Queen’s Birthday skit, promo pictures, drawings, or even quotes… You can use softwares like Windows Movie Maker or Sony Vegas.

–         Keep in mind that you CANNOT have clips or pictures featuring Emma, Dan and Rupert as themselves (in interviews or in behind-the-scenes clips, for example). It’s all about Hermione, Harry and Ron, OK?

–         Choose your ship! It’s either Harry & Hermione OR Ron & Hermione, you can’t have both in your music video.

–         Please be respectful of the other ship, don’t include sarcastic or mean comments in your music video. The contest is about love, not hate! 🙂

–         Don’t forget the credits at the end of your music video (the music, the sites where you found the clips or the pictures you used).

–         Upload your music video (with rapidshare, megaupload, sendspace…) and send the link to emmawatson.contest@gmail.com. No YouTube link will be accepted! Oh and don’t forget to add a few comments about your video in your email, they’ll help me write the article if you win!

–         By sending us your video, you give us the authorisation to upload it on EW.net and its YouTube.

–         The deadline is Sunday May 13^th.

The staff team will select the three best music videos for each category (R/H and H/H) and the results will be published in our online magazine Watson Weekly.

We’re also happy to announce that the 1^st place winners in each category will each receive two of the French stamps that were recently released (a Hermione stamp & a Harry stamp for the H/H winner, and a Hermione stamp & a Ron stamp for the R/H winner). I will send them to you by snail mail myself 😆

Happy video-making and good luck to all!

Neve.

Hello guys!

How are you today? Well, I certainly am fine, since I got to purchase the HP stamps that were released in France on Saturday 😆  And I scanned them just for your viewing pleasure… so enjoy!

Oh and we’d like to thank Naveed, Sarah and Hanna for letting us know that Emma graced the Horoscopes page of Teen Vogue in this month issue 🙂

Update: thanks to the awesome site UHP, we now have other scans of the F

Hi everyone  🙂

On February 9 we told you about a series of promotional Order of the Phoenix stamps from France. They have now been released and you can see them all online at http://www.fetedutimbre.com/. The site is in French, but if you click on “Produits” in the upper corner you can find the stamps and other items. Emma, as Hermione, is featured on several of them.

How would you like to help design an HP calendar? Well, Borders is letting you do just that. In the spring they will offer a Harry Potter 2008 wall calendar, and you can help choose which images they will use. Go here to vote for your favorite HP images. You can only pick 5, but you are allowed to vote as often as you like. Let’s make sure Emma is well represented  🙂 . Unfortuneately, it looks like the calendar will only be sold in US stores, but I believe anyone can vote and show their support for Emma. The voting ends March 23, so get voting.  😛

And today is staff member Jasmine’s birthday. Happy Birthday Jasmine! 😆

Update: It seems that rumor about Emma in a new St Trinians movie was nonsense. According to Variety, the only Watson in the cast is Emily Watson. Thanks to Solo on the forums for the tip.

Have a great weekend.

Hi Emma fans,

I’m sorry that the site has been down the past few days. There were some problems which hopefully are fixed now. Since it was down, I took the opportunity to reorganize some things, and it’s taking longer than I thought. 🙁

So, I’ve decided to put the site up again even though I’m not done. A lot of the links won’t work, and many images will not link correctly, but at least the news updates are here. 😛

I’ll try and have the rest up as soon as possible, but it will probably be several days or more. 😥

Speaking of news, Emma has donated some items to be sold at auction to benefit the Wild Trout Trust, a charity dedicated to saving the wild trout in the UK. She donated a Hogwarts Express train set signed by the herself, Dan and Rupert, and a tote bag given out to the film crew by the HP producers and director. Happy bidding!

Have a nice day!
