It seems we in Emma fandom are waking up daily to new news! The media have decided to barrage us all with pretty photos and enlightening interviews, along with WB throwing us all new promos, behind-the-scenes and clips left, right and centre! First up today – scans! Emma is gracing (along with the ones in our previous update) a couple more magazine covers! She’s appeared on the cover of Times Magazine with a brand new interview (photoshoot images by Arved Colvin-Smith) and in the Aussie lift-out paper Sunday with a short interview (same images as the Sunday Times shoot). But wait, there’s more! Emma will be on the cover of the August issue of ‘Elle UK’ (on sale Wednesday so don’t forget to pick up your copies and scan them!) – from this shoot, however, we have a sneak peek at the cover and some photoshoot images.

I was also able to add two more outtakes from the Arved Colvin-Smith photoshoot – I’m pretty sure they’re the same picture but cut at different places and one is bigger than the other. Oh well! Enjoy anyway! Also, the full interview for the Times Magazine scans are online, with Emma talking about ‘The Kiss’ between Potter sidekickers, Ron and Hermione. The kiss has been filmed and was done in six takes! Both Rupert and Emma have issued statements about the kiss:

“We did it two weeks ago,” she said. “Four takes one way and two takes with the camera in the other direction. Six takes altogether.” Emma Watson on ‘The Kiss’ in HP7, source

“We’ve known each other for 10 years so it was a bit like kissing my sister,” he told the Mail on Sunday. “We were determined to get it right the first time, but our first try was a disaster because we both felt so self-conscious and we couldn’t stop laughing.” Rupert Grint on ‘The Kiss’, source

Also in this post, another couple of scans featuring Emma as Hermione from the upcoming ‘Potter’ flick, due to premiere in Tokyo next week! A note, we do not know if Emma will be at the Tokyo premiere, but we have confirmed that she will be making appearances at the London and Los Angeles premiere of the movie, so keep those eyes peeled!

In other Potter-related news, a French behind-the-scenes video has appeared online! From the French 50 Minutes Inside program, the feature showcased brand new footage, new interviews with the main and supporting cast and some really indepth looks at some of the Potter sets, including Slughorn’s Party (with Hermione in a light pink dress) and Gred and Forge’s shop. You can view the video here on Youtube; captures can be seen below (click to enlarge).

Bit later … London Taxi Tours spotted the Trio shooting in Whitehall, London on June 28th. The site is reporting that they were filming “Ministry scenes” from ‘Deathly Hallows’. They were able to snap a few photos, which can be seen at the their website. Also, The Scottish Sunday Mail has posted interviews with Daniel Radcliffe and Jim Broadbent on their experiences on set. Dan comments on Emma’s “mad” ping-pong skills:

“Emma is not allowed to play because she really is too good,” laughs Dan. “If she comes into the room to play we say we are too tired. But we really can’t face the humiliation of being beaten by her again.” source
