Life is a bit busy right now around the new year, but we all from IHeartWatson.net wish you a very happy 2009! We have a few goodies to share today as well, including some Style Files updates, our very first magazine scan of 2009, and a high-res HBP still!

We have a scan from the Dec. 08/Jan. 09 issue of Empire magazine. Empire has a bit of a behind-the-scenes article on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and one picture, albeit rather small and blurry and tiny and dark, does feature Hermione! You can check that out in the galleries here. We also have an awesome new high-res still from HBP, featuring Professors Snape and McGonagall, with the trio looking on from the background. As usual, you can check that out in the galleries right here. And if you haven’t seen the new ihwmedia.net layout yet, you should definitely go marvel, ‘cos it’s gorgeous and it finally works!

If you haven’t visited our graphic archive Sparkly! recently, now might be the time to pop over and take a look. There’s been a pretty new layout up for a little while and it’s been updated with wallpapers taken from former 2007 desktop calendars. There’s some really adorable ones there, so be sure to check ‘em out!

We’ve also begun compiling a lookbook of Hermione’s outfits in the Potter films! So far, the page features Emma’s sixteen outfits from Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Prisoner of Azkaban. Outfits from Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix will be up in the lookbook shortly, as well as full guides for Hermione’s outfits. You can check out the “As Hermione Granger” page in the Style Files, right here.
