I’m doing some maintenance and making a few changes on the site. New comments will be disabled for a while, but everything else should still work. I’ll update this to let you know of the progress.

If you have linked to emma-watson.net (or emma-watson.net), you will need to change your links to emma-watson.net. You may have some trouble accessing the site for a couple days.

Update: If you can read this, comments should be working.

The latest issue of the French Crash magazine has Emma on the cover, and an article with new pictures. It’s a rather different, edgy look, and you’ll probably like them, or hate them. The pictures were taken by Karl Lagerfeld. Credit to Watson Daily for the excellent scans.

Update:

A lot of the information in the interview is stuff we already know, but Neve has translated the interesting parts.

• She’d like to live in France and go back to speaking French fluently.
• Emma talks about why and what she wants to learn, mentioning painting, photography, literature and History. She says she’s never really studied politics or philosophy but that she’d like to. She wants to go to university to learn, make new friends and be anonymous. She wants to “feel normal for a while”.
• She quotes Audrey Hepburn when being asked about how she deals with tabloids: “I don’t care what they write about me, as long as it’s false”.
• She says that she loves dressing up, that it’s a creative way of expressing yourself, which is why she enjoys it the same way she enjoys Art.
• She says she genuinely thinks Karl Lagerfeld is a genius and that the photoshoot was one of the nicest she ever did.

• “I cannot not be “green”. I did my end of school project on global warming and hurricane Katrina. I studied the effects on a small scale, like the dam projects in London, but also on a bigger scale. My car is electric, I recycle, I take public transportation, I try not to buy and drink bottled water. I’m not perfect, but it’s something I feel strongly about.”
• She’s been listening to a lot of folk and blues lately.
• Her worst nightmare: sharks.
• Her favourite sound is that of a baby laughing.
• Her favourite book is “The Shadow of the Wind” by Carlos Ruiz Zaf
  

For our March Site of the Month we have selected Scarlett-Fan.com, a great looking site with frequent updates and lots of information about Scarlett Johansson.

Gallery update: I’ve updated some of the Sean Cook photoshoot again, this time with HQs, thanks to Ohmywatson.

On the Noble Collection’s French site, it looks like they have used a new Hermione picture in the banner, along with a new Harry and Dumbledore. Thanks to UHP for sending it over.

Gallery update: I’ve added more MQ pics from the Sean Cook photoshoot (thanks Princess Watson), higher res versions of the Ellen von Unwerth shoot (thanks Palpatine), and HQs of the BAFTA portraits (thanks Ohmywatson).

And finally, EW.net is March Site of the Month at Hero Empire, a new site for Hero Fiennes-Tiffin who plays the young Tom Riddle in Half-Blood Prince. Thank you for the award Laetitia.

WB released a new Half-Blood Prince trailer yesterday, an exclusive for fansites. It looks great and there is some new footage, but sadly no new scenes with Emma.

We do have some Emma news for you. TeenVogue.com has Emma at #2 on their February Ten Best Dressed list, wearing the Temperley dress at the Orange BAFTAs. Thanks Naomi.

I’m sure by now you’ve read the rumor that Emma announced accepting a place at Yale University on her twitter account. Even major news sites carried the story. Well, it’s not true. According to EWO, Emma does not have a twitter account, and she has not made a decision yet about university.

In site news, EW.net is the March Site of the Month over at Keane Fans, a new site for the band Keane. Thank you for the award Jo.
