Many of you I’m sure remember “Emma Watson Empire”. For nine years it was one of the big Emma Watson sites until it suddenly closed in Spring 2011. EWE was a competitor of Emma-Watson.net, but still, it was a sad day when I found out it was gone.

You may also recall Thomas Sailer who joined EWE and within a few months progressed to be the site representative. He worked hard to keep the site active, organizing fan projects and updating the site. During his 6 years at EWE Thomas was also actively supporting Harry Potter fans, founding “Knightbus.org”, an HP link archive, and the ‘International Network of Harry Potter Websites’. Thomas has now released a book of his experiences with Emma Watson Empire and the HP Fandom and how it influenced his life.

Chronik eines Harry Potter Fans (Chronicles of a Harry Potter Fan) is written in German. More information on the book and links to order the book through Amazon.de are on Thomas’ site.

The Austrian writer Thomas Sailer, a longstanding Harry Potter Fan, has published his third book “Chronik eines Harry Potter Fans“ (Chronicles of a Harry Potter Fan) just a few days ago.

For many years, beginning in spring 2005, he was active in the virtual Harry Potter fan community: He started helping out on ‘Emma Watson Empire’ and advanced, from a normal site visitor, to the site’s representative just within a few months.

In this book he talks about his activities and inducements, as well as the influence which the Harry Potter story had on his life.

Update: ABC Family have released four videos on their site. In this video, Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe talk about Hermione and “Girl Power”. Emma does introduce two of the other videos, but she is not featured in the interview, so I will not include them here.

A new interview with Emma Watson appears in the current issue of Savoir Flair, an online fashion magazine from the Middle East.

Grazia Daily has a first look at Emma Watson in the Lancôme Spring Summer 2013 makeup collection In Love. The collection will be available at Lancome counters starting Jan 2.

The weather might be gloomy outside but in the land of Lancome, it’s nothing but rosy. The latest campaign image for the beauty brand’s Spring Summer 2013 collection has just landed and my oh my, doesn’t Emma Watson look pretty! With that first-flush-of-love glow, a super-girlie splash of lipstick and turquoise liner framing her brown eyes, she sure looks sunshine ready. It’s all in aid of Lancome’s In Love collection, which is oozing with vibrant tones. From the neon glimmer of the lipstick to the pastel tones in the blusher complemented by a slick of turquoise, the colour combination has us drooling.

The Baume in Love, a brand new lipstick with Shea Butter, is our particular fave. It comes in a translucent shade of hot pink and provides just enough colour with a subtle sheen. Then there’s that cult nail varnish which is dressed in a peachy pop hue for the sunshine season. Finally, the ingenious eyeshadow and blusher is gorgeously colourful and both come in a case adorned with that iconic Toile de Jouy motif. As for Emma’s favourite? It’s the khol eyeliner in Jade Crush that’s perfect for electrifying her eyes in a single stroke.
