About David Yates directing OotP (2007): "He was perfect for this. I don't know if he could have directed any of the other ones. This was his story to tell. He's quiet, thoughtful, sensitive. Mike (Newell, director of Goblet of Fire) would sit in his chair and yell at us, or stand up and just be very loud and British. Whereas David will think for a bit, he'll come over, speak a few words, keep it to a minimum. The thing that always comes up with David is finding truth in the characters, truth in the performance, make it real."

Watson Weekly Issue 17 // 7 February 2009

It’s finally here, Issue 17 of Watson Weekly. It’s been a long, lonng, lonnnnng wait. I’m sorry it has taken so long. We actually started on this last April. Some of the articles are a bit dated by now, but we hope you will enjoy them.

We tried something new this time. Instead of a lot of images you have to download, the magazine is now a flash presentation. We’d appreciate any feedback you have on this. I’ll have an acrobat version up later for those who would like to save a copy of the magazine.

In this issue, we have articles about the Demarchelier exhibit, Ralph Fiennes, music, literature and fashion. You will also find some wonderful fan art, a fan spotlight, and a “Map” to Emma’s career by a dedicated fan. And, finally, the results of the Hermione – Pauline video contest.

Update: There is now a pdf version available, as well as links to the videos.

Scans from Live magazine // 3 February 2009

Jo has updated EWO with a link to the online Mail on Sunday Live magazine interview, so I think we can assume the interview is for the most part real. We now have scans from the print version of Live in the gallery.  It includes a couple pics that are not in the online article. Thanks to UHP, Barbara and madonion.

Jo also mentioned the plate Emma designed for Blue Peter’s Mission Nutrition, saying that Emma signed and decorated it when she visited the BBC studio to film the Blue Peter show in early December. As we told you earlier, the plate is up for auction on eBay, and it’s doing quite well. The current bid price as I write this is £360.00.

A new picture of Emma at the Fashion Fringe show during London Fashion week appeared in the January issue of In Style. Scan courtesy of designer William Tempest’s site. Thanks to Danielle for the tip.
