Love from Emma on Sale
People Tree is having a sale of up to 50% off on many items from the Love from Emma collection, and their other ranges. If you haven’t bought yet, now might be the time.
Burberry Displays
We have a couple pictures from a Burberry store in Melbourne Australia, thanks to Nicole. These are for the A/W line, but it’s winter down there. 🙂 Emma is not part of the next advertising campaign, so I expect these will all be disappearing soon.
Scans
Valentina sent us some scans from Croatia. OK! Magazine had a competition to “be Emma for one day” and the winner got a makeover to look like her. Gloria IN had a feature on makeup which included Emma.
Quotes about Emma
With the end of filming, a number of actors from HP have commented about the experience, and impressions of Emma, Dan and Rupert. Credit to Snitchseeker and UHP for some of these.
Daniel on his height and the trio
“I didn’t get particularly worried because as long as Emma and Rupert weren’t shooting up too quickly either, I’d look [fine]. We’d all look relatively [the same height]. It was all going to be OK.”
Julie Walters on watching the trio grow over the years.
“It was sad. They were all little tots when we started and now they are great big blokes and girls. I felt very sad on the last day. Being part of such a huge phenomenon was amazing. It has meant that a whole generation of children recognise me now. Mind you, they don’t always, because I wear a wig and padding in the films, which even Daniel Radcliffe didn’t realise. I had to point out to him that it’s all birdseed under my dress.”
Warwick Davis, on the last day of filming and being there with the trio
“I shot my last day on ‘Harry Potter’ last Saturday. It was a very sad, very emotional day. I never really get upset finishing a film. I’m normally glad that it’s over, that I won’t have to wear the makeup anymore – but I was actually really quite choked up about it. Ten years’ worth of work finished, and on Sunday, it was worse. I woke up Sunday morning thinking, ‘No more Harry Potter. That’s it.’ “
“I was filming with the second unit, and then I went over to the first unit where they were doing the last shot with Dan, Rupert and Emma. The first assistant director didn’t shout, ‘It’s a wrap.’ He didn’t say that. He said, ‘Come over to the screens over here. I have a lot of video to show you.’ He set up the video: a piece of film that they’d shot every day with what’s called the golden boards. It would be a special guest that day or an actor who was finishing up the film, or whatever. If something unusual was happening, they’d be the person holding the golden board. Twenty minutes’ worth to summarize the last year and a half that we’d been working on the movie. It was really very sad.”
“It was them, as it should be,” he said. “The three of them. I was lucky to be there for the last day. I think I was the only other cast member in on it.”
Bill Nighy on working with the trio
Emma Watson is adorable in the extreme. She is such a lovely person. And Daniel was charming. And Rupert I’d already worked with, so it was nice to work with him again. And they were really welcoming a nice to me. You know, they’ve been there for 10 years. There were people on that movie that were finishing their Harry Potter life, and people who’d been there for 10 years. It had been their life.
And they’d become great friends. I mean, you do on a single movie. You become great friends with people and get married or have babies, or they just become good friends. It’s always tough to pull away because you go do another movie. But on Harry Potter they’ve done however many they’ve done – six movies – and they’ve become big parts of each others’ lives. So there was a feeling of the ends of things for people.
Some people finished while I was there. They had their last scenes, and it’s a very big deal. It’s not like other movies.
I think they will all go on and make other movies. The audience that grew up with them will be happy to see them in other things. They are all good young actors and I should think they will continue to make movies and the audience will grow with them and follow them wherever they go, I would think. They are such popular performers now and they are part of people’s lives. They’ve grow up together, and that audience will stay with them, I would think.

Deathly Hallows Poster
And finally, WB has released a teaser poster for Deathly Hallows showing the battle of Hogwarts. The official Harry Potter website has been updated with a new background using a wide version of the scene which I’ve captured at high resolution. I don’t see Hermione, but I’m sure she’s there somewhere. Update: Now have a version without the logo, and if you like the logo, I added it back but less obtrusive. Thanks for the tip tree.

Emma spent another day at the Glastonbury Music Festival. She went with a more casual look this time. HQs in the gallery. More photos from the previous day have been added also.

The music video for One Night Only’s single, Say You Don’t Want It featuring Emma Watson debuted on the UK Channel 4 this morning. If you missed it, you can see it on ONO’s official youtube or we’ve embedded it below. It’s a catchy song (stuck in my head now, lol) and a rather clever video. Once you see the end and figure out what’s going on, you can watch it again and pick up lots of little hints. Emma looks great in the video and she and George Craig worked well together. I have the video in HD and will probably upload it later.
Update
Jo Whiley from BBC 1 interviewed Emma and George Craig on her radio program. Emma and George talk about the the idea behind the Say You Don’t Want It video, and about attending the Glastonbury festival.
