IGN has released Part 2 of Making of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Videogame. This one focuses on Quidditch and there are interviews with Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe, Bonnie Wright and others involved with the game. EA has released a demo for the PC which you can download here.

Emma-Watson.net and the galleries will go offline later today to replace a failing hard drive. Unfortuneately, this means I need to rebuild the server. I hope to have the main site back within a few hours, and everything back within a day. But you know what they said about best laid plans. Anyway, don’t worry, we will be back.

Update: The main site is back. I will continue next with the galleries but it will take a while. If you notice any problems with pages that are up, let me know.

Update: Photo gallery should now be back.

The Ukranian magazine Oops has a feature on Emma in their current issue. Thank you to Jaroslav for sending in scans.

Tom Felton hosts a short featurette from IGN on the Making of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Videogame. There are interviews with Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, Bonnie Wright and others involved with the game. Thanks to flicka for the tip.

If you know of any more, please let us know. And if you can record these, we’d love to get a copy.

The UK Harry Potter site has a new look, new music, and new downloads, including two new posters with Hermione. Instead of Hermione and Slughorn, we’re finally getting a combination that makes sense – Hermione, Ron and Lavendar.

There’s also a nice hi-res wallpaper with Hermione, Dumbledore, Harry and Ron.

I’ve added a bunch of fan graphics to the site. New wallpapers from green light, f.E.W., Andrew, Malin and Kelli. New banners from green light, Aida, and Kelli. New avatars from Rupertfan13 and Aida. And new respect banners from green light, Johanne, and Kelli.

It’s been a busy month so this is a little late. Let’s get the July calendar competition started!

• The size of the calendar should be 1024×768 or larger
• Calendars must be in a common graphics format such as jpg, tiff, gif or png.
• It must have Emma-Watson.net and July on it
• Your calendar should be in by the 29th of June.
• No more than 3 entries per person please.
• All entries must be sent to emmawatson.graphics@gmail.com
• If you use hotmail or msn, please attach the picture to your email as a FILE, not a PICTURE. If you use picture, it will shrink the image to a small size.

This is a bit late as well. For June SOTM we have selected Amy Adams Fan, a great Amy Adams site with great design and great gallery.

We have a short video with Emma Watson at the Rodarte Private Dinner, talking about the first time she saw a Rodarte gown.

Emma Watson is featured in this weeks issue of Grazia in the UK.  Emma as the new face of Burberry is one of their top 10 stories of the week. It looks like it’s #10. I think I’d rank it a bit higher than that.  😕

There’s a new behind the scenes shot included in the article. Thanks to TrioNetwork.org for the scans.

Nick magazine has a feature on Half-Blood Prince, with a short interview with the trio, and a quiz on the movie. Thanks to Leaky for the scans.
