December 16, 2007: ‘Ballet Shoes’ randomness

If you missed the memo, the official trailer of Emma’s upcoming drama Ballet Shoes is up and running on YouTube so don’t forget to check it out there! The trailer confirms that the premiere of this BBC1 drama is Boxing Day 2007, at 8:30pm (if you’re in the UK, make sure you remember!).

Also, thanks to watsondaily@lj we have some new Ballet Shoes related articles. These are from the Christmas editions of We Love Telly, TV Choice and TV Times. You can check those out here along with all the other released articles relating to Ballet Shoes. And thanks to Celia we have five HQ caps from the Ballet Shoes trailer. Thanks so much Celia! And the BBC Flickr has been updated with 11 stills from Ballet Shoes - 8 of which feature Emma! They’ve been uploaded into our galleries!

EDIT! EWO.com has been updated with Emma’s pictures of her attendance at the Chanel Pre-Fall Fashion Show last week. There are (I think) 17 pictures, with Emma posing and looking rather fabulous (and in one, very MySpace!). Click here or below to see the pictures.

December 15, 2007: Official “Half-Blood Prince” Description Released

Thanks to The Leaky Cauldron, we have the official description of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film. The first official publicity still, an image of Harry with his map and potions book, has also been released and you may view that here at TLC.

Fantasy Adventure. Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Emma is due to start filming on December 18th, and the movie will be in theaters November 21, 2008.

MORE! The Telegraph has published a new interview with Emma. Emma talks about being Hermione, being Pauline, her audition for Hermione, dressing up for the red carpet, and so forth. A new photoshoot image accompanies the article.

EDIT! I’ve added some random HQ images to the gallery, from various Emma outings from this year. Enjoy! - Kaetlyn

December 12, 2007: Cover of ‘Ballet Shoes’?

Thanks to EW.net we have a possible cover for Emma’s upcoming BBC drama, Ballet Shoes. They have also possibly found a site where you can pre-order the DVD; for more details click here. Note: the DVD is Region 2 (Europe). It won’t play on a standard North American DVD player. You need a Region 2 (Europe) or multiregion player (thanks F.N. Owl!).

EDIT! I’ve added two high quality pictures of Emma at the Nobu dinner to the galleries! And thanks to watson_daily@lj we have some new Ballet Shoes scans from Radio Times, which I’ve added to the galleries!
