About choosing to study in the US (2009):"Well, I did a Shakespeare course at RADA [Royal Academy of Dramatic Art] last summer, and three quarters of the students were from abroad, mainly the United States. I started talking to them about what they were doing at their schools, and I respected the approach. Here, I feel the specification is very narrow, whereas in America, you're encouraged to be broad and choose many different subjects. For someone who has missed as much school as I have, I want to go back and discover what else there is. I always loved school-I was a proper, proper nerd. I just want that back again."

Birthday Project – Part 1 // 30 January 2007

Emma-Watson.net World Picture Book
by the Fans

Emma has said that she loves to travel, that one of the best things of being in the Harry Potter movies is getting the chance to go places she’s never been. Well here’s your chance to show Emma why she should visit your country or city! For this year’s birthday project we are making a picture book of places around the world using pictures taken by you, her fans. We would like you to send us your pictures from your country. Pictures that show its beauty. Pictures that show what is special about your country. Pictures that show what you love about your country. 🙂

Rules:

  • The pictures should be about places. Like a beautiful landscape or a city, or even a building. They can be from the countryside, or in the city. It’s ok if you or other people are in the picture, but the picture should be about the place, not the people.
  • You may submit up to 3 pictures from your country. You may also submit up to 3 pictures from a country you’ve visited. So up to 6 pictures total.
  • Please identify each picture with a location, and short description. For example, “Eiffel Tower, Paris, France”, or “Ayers Rock, Australia”.
  • Include a short paragraph explaining why you like the place and what it means to you.
  • The pictures must be taken by you, and by sending them to us you are giving us permission to use them in the EW.net World Picture Book. The pictures do not have to be new.
  • The pictures should be digital images, or high quality scans. Please send the pictures as email attachments, or links to image hosting sites.
  • We will not be able to use all the pictures submitted (it’s a book, not an encyclopedia 😛 ) so think carefully about what pictures to send. Only the best and most interesting will be included.
  • The deadline for submitting your pictures is March 5th.
  • Please send them to emmawatson.project@gmail.com

Part 2 – Coming soon. 😉

Better Version of Trio Picture // 25 January 2007

HellooOOoo everyone! 😆

Thanks to UHP for letting us know about a ‘new’ picture of the trio from OOTP! We previously posted a picture just like this the other day, but this version doesn’t have writing on it!

 

As always don’t forget to vote for Emma in the CBBC Poll!
 
Have a super dooper day! 😆

VOTW and scans // 24 January 2007

Hello Emma fans 🙂

Time for a new Video of the Week. This time it’s Emma on the Wayne Brady show from 2002. Emma talks about some of her favorite scenes in CoS, about meeting Robin Williams and Halle Berry at the premiere, and she doesn’t seem that impressed with how the CoS Hermione action figure looks. 😆

Video of the Week

We also have a couple of scans thanks to Iza. The first is from the Romanian magazine Cool Girl (sorry, I have no idea what it says 😕 ), and the second is a poster from a Russian magazine.

  

Update: Thanks to Mihaela and Dobre we have a translation of the first scan. Their translations were a little different so I blended the two together as best I could. As people mentioned in the comments, nothing new was said, but now we know. 😉

Four years ago she was playing Hermione for the first time. Back then she was just a sweet little girl but during 4 Harry Potter films Emma has become a beautiful and confident teenager.

CG: A lot of people think the last Harry Potter movie is too frightening for children.
Emma:  I got scared myself a few times too because there’s much more drama added to the action. But I think it’s a normal thing

Empire Awards video // 21 January 2007

Hello hello  😆

We have a new video from last March’s Empire Awards thanks to Harry Potter Deluxe. The footage is from outside with the fans and includes Dan, Rupert, Katie, Robert, the Phelps twins, Jason Isaacs, David Tennant, and Emma. They were only able to film Emma for a few seconds as she left after the awards show and enters her car, but the video is worth watching for the others. Rupert and Katie fans should especially enjoy this.  😛

You can download the whole video, or a shorter clip which just shows Dan, and then Emma leaving. Please right click to save the video.

Make sure you keep Emma at the top of the CBBC Poll!

Have a wonderful weekend! 😉

Staff Position Open – Funky Fashion Competition // 18 January 2007

We are sad to announce that Ingrid has recently left the staff. She was the one who started Funky Fashion and she did an excellent job running it, but due to other commitments she has decided to step down. This leaves only one staff member working on FF, Julie-Ann, another lovely, young lady who knows a bunch about fashion as well!. However, Julie-Ann doesn’t have as much time as she would like to spend contributing to Funky Fashion. So the staff has decided to hold a competition in order to find 1 or more new staff members to join our team to help out with Funky Fashion on a regular basis.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Someone with a lot of knowledge, insight and interest in fashion.
  • Respectful towards staff members, visitors and Emma Watson.
  • Have respect for Emma Watson and like her. After all, this IS an Emma Watson site and besides doing Funky Fashion, you will help with other staff projects besides FF.
  • Good grammer and English usage.
  • No photo editing program is required. If you have it, that’s good, if not, don’t worry about it. We’ve got plenty of staff members who do.
  • Do not plagerize! Please be honest and produce your own work.
  • Use the images provided.
  • Designing your pages for FF is something a little extra, but we’re more looking for CONTENT and QUALITY of your fashion critique, not how well you design your 1-2 pages.

Below is a selection of images that I’ve uploaded from the 2007 Golden Globes. Choose whatever you’d like out of these and do your Funky Fashion piece on the celebrities you’ve chosen.


Please send your entries to funkyfashion.ew[at]gmail[dot]com. Also, make sure to include your name. Good luck! And have fun! 🙂

[ Jasmine ]

Update: A few people have asked what they are supposed to do. The idea is to pick a picture, or several pictures, and then write a Funky Fashion article about them. It doesn’t matter if you like the celebrity or not, this is basically a test to show your knowledge of fashion and how well you write. If you want to design your article you can send that in for your entry. It’s not required though, you can just send in the text of your article, but please make sure to mention which pictures you are writing your article around.

The deadline will be February 3rd.

VOTW and a Birthday // 17 January 2007

Hey everyone,

We have a new Video of the Week. Actually it’s been there a while, but it seems to come and go 😛 but I think it should be ok now. This video is from the Prisoner of Azkaban premiere in London. Emma is asked about the dress she’s wearing, and decorating her dressing room. A lot of other cast members are also interviewed.

Video of the Week

Also, please join us in wishing our staff member Shannon a Very Happy Birthday! Best wishes Shannon! 😆

Site Exclusive of Hedwig & Errol // 17 January 2007

Thanks to our lovely staff member Neve, she went out to Paris and got Emma-Watson.net a site exclusive of the owls who play Hedwig and Errol in the Harry Potter movies. They were showcased in Salon du Cin

Hermione Action Figure and more // 14 January 2007

Hey Emma Fans  🙂

I hope you’re all having a great weekend. We’ve got a couple things for you today.

The March issue of Toyfare magazine has an article about the new Order of the Phoenix action figures coming out in March, along with some pictures. One of the pictures is of a prototype for the Hermione action figure.

It sort of looks like Emma I guess, but I’d like to see the finished version. 😛 What do you guys think? You can see scans of the article in Mugglenet’s gallery.

We also have added another letter from Emma to our newsletter collection. Staff member Neve sent Emma an art book for Christmas and received the following letter in just over a week. It’s the same as the Spring 2006 newsletter except this one thanks her for the gift. Carol got the same letter after giving Emma a necklace at the Marks & Spencer event.
