Emma broke the internet, is everywhere (part two)

If you haven’t read part one, shame on you! Lots of gallery updates, with lots of Emma photo goodies! So go read! This update will have even more Emma gallery updates, plus a hunk of quoteable noteables straight from Emma’s mouth!

Emma recently made an appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross; a couple of medium quality promotional stills have been released by the BBC press office – and just for all you ihw.net visitors, a high quality still of Emma being adorable! The interview is in two parts on Youtube – check them out! – part one and part two!

Plus, some highlights from the interview:

+ Emma and Rupert were chosen before Dan was. Emma completed all up about eight auditions for ‘Harry Potter’.

+ ‘Deathly Hallows’ finishes filming in April 2010.

+ Emma, Dan and Rupert filmed a scene for the Harry Potter theme park.

+ She’s confirmed that she’s going to school in the States! She prefers the “broad curriculum” that they offer in the States.

+ She regrets some of the things she had to forgo, such as missing birthday parties, sleepovers; however, she sees her experience not as a loss, but as learning experience.

+ She’s not impressed with “broomsticks” and “wand” pick-up lines. Her pick-up peeve is being compared to the “girl from Narnia” (Anna Popplewell), or some chick from Lord of the Rings.

+ She confirms she has a boyfriend. *awkward pause*

+ She’s seen the finished film! She and select cast saw a finished version of ‘Half Blood Prince’ while Dan was performing ‘Equus’ in New York.

+ Emma’s seen ‘Equus’! She remarks that the play was: “quite something”.

+ Admits that when the cast were younger, they were scared of Alan Rickman!

+ Emma on the kiss: “the most horrible thing” to do as it felt like incest – she can’t describe is any other way! During the kiss she was quite glad that she got to close her eyes! The kiss took six takes!

ITV1 is set to air a new behind-the-scenes featurette on July 11th at 7pm BST which will include interviews with Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, new footage from the sixth film, and a a tour of the set at Leavesden Studios! After a little bit of searching, I’ve managed to track down a high quality promo featuring interviewer/host Ben Shepherd and Emma as Hermione in the interview chair! Follow the pretty preview to view the pretty picture!

Also up, in gallery-related-updates, brand new ‘Half Blood Prince’ promotional stills and behind-the-scenes trio photos! A bunch of Potter stills appeared online last week, including four which feature Emma as the brainy bookworm, Hermione Granger! This lot of stills features Hermione in the stands during Quidditch tryouts; before the big Quidditch match; at the Slug Club next to Neville (discussing spoons?); and with Harry and Ron at the Burrow. The behind-the-scenes photo shows the trio walkin’ and talkin’ across the Hogwarts grounds. Follow the previews for more photos!

Plus, some new unseen images! First up, a brand new (albeit, tiny) headshot image and secondly, a new unseen photoshoot image (unseen only to me? I dunno) from a Polish (?) Hungarian (thank you Lollie and Enni!) magazine – any help with tracking this one down would be appreciated! The gallery links above direct you to the images’ locations.

And now onto a truck-load of Emma quotes, recently spouted by Emma through the week! First up, an interview with Film Review Online, Emma discusses her memories of shooting Half-Blood Prince and ‘teasing’ her co-stars during their on-screen smooches; a brief transcript from the BBC Press Site shines some insight on Emma’s views of University, auditioning, and ‘that kiss’ with Rupert (she also mentions that she’s ‘scared of Potter fans’!); to the L.A. Times Emma talks emailing Jo, being ‘intimidated’ by Jo and her fond memories of Potter; with MovieFone she discusses romance in HP6 (a topic I’m sure we’ll be hearing heaps on in the coming months!); and to ITV she briefly comments upon Lavender and Ron’s relationship! Also, did Dan spill the beans on which University Emma will be attending in autumn? Until we get confirmation, this will be considered a rumour, okies? (Emma has confirmed that she will be attending University in the States – on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross! – but she hasn’t confirmed which University she is planning on attending.)

Onward to the tidbits!

With Rupert having his first kissing scene, did any of you have fun poking fun at him?
Not really, he’s so laid back, he didn’t seem that embarrassed about it. Maybe he was. He’s just such a lovely guy. I certainly didn’t tease him about it. source

She didn’t think she’d ever be Hermione: “By the time I got to audition, I was in pieces, I didn’t know I had the part.” source

“I must admit I still feel quite intimidated by [JKR],” Watson said. “Not because she is actually intimidating, but because I admire her so much, and we have all been such mad fans of the books and her and everything.” source

“There’s so much kissing going on in this book!” Watson says. And fans aren’t the only ones who get excited by the Hogwarts smooch fests. Radcliffe admits he was disappointed he missed the kiss between Ron and Lavender, “Just ’cause I thought it’d be pretty funny.” source

But Watson seems to be enjoying all the opportunities for photoshoots and red carpet premieres. “Yeah, totally, but she’s much more natural at them than I am. She’s more suited to being able to talk to anyone – I get very nervous about those events. She’s been photographed at a lot of [fashion] things, and I think that’s a world she’s very interested in. I’ve seen some of the clothes she’s designed and [they're] very good. She’s very clever. Do you know her GCSE results?” His eyes boggle: “I was thrilled with mine – seven Bs, two As and an A*. I think Emma got three As and seven A*s – she’s incredibly academic, it’s frightening. Me and Rupert to all intents and purposes dropped out of school. And she’s going to Brown.” He shakes his head in admiration of Watson’s place at the US Ivy League college. source
