Rumors Ahoy!

Thanks to The Leaky Cauldron for updating us on a slew of recent rumors! First, the Sunday Mirror is today reporting that Emma, Dan, and Rupert are filming “extra sequences and clips which will be part of the rides” at the Harry Potter theme park opening in Florida sometime in the next two years. The article reports that they will also be filming a brand-new Harry Potter story written by Rowling herself before beginning the Deathly Hallows films, and calls this a “mini-movie.”

There’s more, though, this time about Emma specifically! The Daily Mail is reporting that Emma “has signed a two-year contract worth £3million” with Chanel to promote the Chanel fragrance Coco Mademoiselle. The current face of Coco Mademoiselle is Keira Knightley. Keira’s contract with Chanel expires this summer. The article continues on to say, “Once it became clear she is growing into a beautiful young woman and wears the Chanel brand so elegantly, they had to sign her up. Chanel realises it is important to target a young audience.”, and that “Emma has been excitedly telling friends that she is going to be taking over from Keira.”

I’ve uploaded a few scans from Emma’s appearance in Teen Vogue in 2005. If you have scanned the actual article – or have scanned any other magazines we don’t have up, for that matter! – I’d love it if you sent those in (via this form or our address, staff {at} iheartwatson {dot} net) and will certainly credit you for them.

Many of you have also asked that we post about the Portrait Magazine poll in which Emma is nominated. I usually refrain from posting fan and more minor polls, but since there’s so much buzz about this one, definitely go check it out and vote! Emma is currently fourth on the list of the “Top 30 Under 30″ celebrities, with the Twilight cast leading by a large margin and Tokio Hotel and the Jonas Brothers pulling in second and third.

Thanks to Emma Watson Official for letting us know!

I’ve also added some behind-the-scenes and outtake photos from photoshoots with Teen Vogue that appeared on the Teen Vogue site to ihwmedia.net.

We really do love to receive donations and suggestions from visitors! Please continue to send those in. I apologize for the delay in responding and updating the site but as soon as we have the free couple minutes we will definitely do our best to get back to you.

New layout!

It may have been weeks since we promised, but we’ve finally got a new layout! I guess nearly a third of a year with the same one is more than enough, huh? This one was made by Kaetlyn, and I/we sure hope you like it as much as I do! If you notice you are having any technical difficulties, please let me know. It was probably something of my doing, but I couldn’t wait for Allison to put it up (those e-mails will be forwarded to her anyway!).

You might have already noticed, but I redesigned Sparkly! a little bit. I’ve also added loads of icon donations! Speaking of the icon section, I’ve rearranged that so that the pages are sorted out by artist (were my 200+ icons keeping anyone else from viewing anything under my name in less than 5 minutes?!). You probably don’t care about that, though.

I wanted to let everyone know that Caitlin, who you may recognize from the forums, is now officially helping out with the Style Files. She’s added lots of new matches for those interested, including the dress from the National Movie Awards, if you haven’t already seen that! She won’t be able to make updates directly here so I will try to keep up with that but make sure you take a look every once in a while.

Unfortunately I have nothing else exciting to tell you. Just enjoy the new layout! :)

By the way – if you missed the last post, Emma will be attending the Order of the Phoenix DVD launch on November 3rd, next Saturday.

EDIT: I definitely did not underestimate myself. The layout is not supposed to look like this, so don’t worry! It should be fixed soon. Fixed!

Emma’s official site has updated with new pictures of Emma’s dad’s private pictures from Pride of Britain Awards.

The site also lets us know that this time Emma’s dress is designed by the British Designer Matthew Williamson, and the handbag actually belonged to her grandmother.

Also, for those who cannot wait for the sixth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, some new “exciting”(?) pictures have emerged of what is supposed to be Horace Slughorn’s house (what’s up with always the first pictures we get are of houses (usually being Hagrid’s hut)?). You can view them here.
