Ho hum, ho hum. First up, we’ve got a brand new interview from Famous Magazine with Emma! In it, Emma discusses the movies, life and working outside of Potter. You can view it here, in the press archives; also attached, a brand new Hermione still from ‘Half Blood Prince’! Woo!

As for Hermione, her main role is to be a friend to Harry so he doesn’t feel alone in his fight. “I think Hermione has a massive part to play in Harry’s success,” says Watson. “She teaches him that the only way to defeat Voldemort is through having his friends, and trusting his friends.”

“It’s very peculiar looking back on [the films] and seeing how much I’ve changed and how much I’ve grown and what I looked like before all this happened,” Watson says. She evens jokes that, in those first movies, she looked “like a chipmunk” with her baby face. Then she started maturing, along with Radcliffe and Grint. “In a way, that’s what people really identify with. It makes it a real journey, a very real journey, because we literally are growing up with the characters.” source

Little bit later … Scans added to the galleries, thanks to EW.net.
