Emma talked about having a proper Christmas during the press junket interviews for Deathly Hallows.

“We have a proper log wood fire in my living room that really gets me in the Christmas mood. And we have mince pies. That’s a very English thing. If you’ve never tried one, mince pies are absolutely delicious. You must have a mince pie.”

“We always watch really good Christmas-y films by Richard Curtis like ‘Love Actually,’ ‘Bridget Jones’ and ‘Notting Hill’ or old BBC dramas like ‘Pride and Prejudice.’ I always play Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby’s Christmas album which is great … I curl up with my cats. I’m a cat person.”

Emma recently posted on her facebook that she was back in the UK filming the reshoots of the epilogue at Leavesden. Later, other cast members confirmed that shooting was finished. So that’s it then, the end. At least that leaves Emma free to enjoy Christmas with family and friends. Let’s hope the snowy weather cooperates.

And I agree, mince pies are the best!

Alberta Ferretti has sent out a little teaser about the new collection in collaboration with Emma Watson. It promises new details soon.

A good idea: Part of the proceeds will go to the People Tree Foundation.

A natural inspiration: The colours of the collection are three non colours.

A cool and crisp feeling: The collection is made of organic cotton.

I’ve switched to a different news system on the site. I’ve done some quick checking and so far it looks good. If you notice any problems, please leave a comment.

Reminder: The deadline for the Christmas project is December 22.

Time to get started on the January Calendar Competition.

• The size of the calendar should be at least 1024×768. Higher resolutions are good. Widescreen is also allowed.
• Calendars must be in a common graphics format such as jpg, tiff, gif or png.
• It must have Emma-Watson.net and January and it should have the dates. It should be mostly original work, and images used should be respectful of Emma’s privacy.
• The deadline to submit calendars is December 28.
• No more than 3 entries per person please. All entries must be sent to emmawatson.graphics@gmail.com

Hey, it’s a little late, but we’ve decided to do a Christmas project. To be honest, I thought that with Emma on facebook there wouldn’t be much interest, since it is so easy to send her messages there. But a number of people have asked, and it has been a tradition since we opened. So, we’re going ahead with a simple Christmas card with your holiday wishes. You can send in messages, stories, poems, artwork, photos, whatever you want to say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays and we’ll include it if we can. The deadline will be December 22.

An article at the Daily Mail featured a new image of Emma from the film My Week with Marilyn and includes some quotes about Emma from the producer and director.

Executive producer Harvey Weinstein said about Emma, “For ten years she has been this schoolgirl in the Harry Potter films and now you see her as a woman for the first time. She has an elegance about her – she looks like Jean Shrimpton! – plus she has a gift for comedy and drama, and we’re just starting to see her range. I feel we’re going to work together a lot in the future.”

Director Simon Curtis called Emma ‘a proper actress’ and added, “It’s great to have given Emma her first job after Harry Potter“

The film tells the story of a week in the life of Colin Clark during the filming of the Marilyn Monroe film The Prince and the Showgirl. Clark, assistant to Laurence Olivier, showed Monroe around the UK after her husban left the country. Emma plays a small but important role of Lucy, a wardrobe assistant, who was the object of Clark’s flirtations. My Week with Marilyn is scheduled to be released in 2011.

Editors at Reuters have selected a photo of Emma from the London premiere of Deathly Hallows as one of their Pictures of the Year for 2010.
