We’ve also got another new image of Emma modeling for her People Tree line in the galleries. As always, we’re on the lookout for anything new and if you stumble across anything, do send it in!

Yahoo! have released a short article with Emma and Dan from the set of ‘Deathly Hallows’! Both actors talk about their characters and the emotional and physical journeys the Trio have to go through during the scenes. Extracts from Emma’s input can be seen below, while the entire article can be read here at the original source.

Emma Watson noted, “It was so nice to be outside, in the forest and out of the studio – running about. It was so much fun. Because it’s such an emotional, heavy film, it was nice to get out and do some action stuff.

“They were very fun scenes to film. Being out of Hogwarts just makes it really different. It just gives the audience a whole different experience. I’m so excited to see it together.”

[...] Watson adds, “It’s challenging in every way – physically, emotionally. They’re away from home. They’re isolated, they don’t have any news. They don’t know what they’re doing. They’re pulling at shreds. Dumbledore had hardly left them anything to go on.” source

In other interview-esque-related-news, Jessie Cave, who played newcomer Lavendar Brown in ‘Half Blood Prince’, has spoken out in a new interview with Scholastic. While she speaks on many topics, one of her questions mentioned Emma!

Q: Who do you think you bonded with most?
Jessie: On set? Definitely Emma [Watson who plays Hermione]. I really got on with Emma really well. I thought she was brilliant. source

Also, feel free to friend us on Twitter!

Also Emma’s written a brand new E.M.S! It’s very short, but talks (briefly) about wrapping up press publicity, filming and ‘Half Blood Prince’.

Back at Leavesden filming HP7 after a frantic publicity week for HP6. It was a great success and thank you for all your support during the tour! more?

In very boring site news, you may have noticed the lack of updates going on around here. Never fear, nothing terribly exciting is happening behind the scenes – or is it? We are not closing, moving or changing our name; we’re simply rearranging and revamping the site, content and maybe throwing some new stuff your way. We’re still the regular, ol’ loveable ihw.net we’ve always been.

As you may or may not know, today is Emma’s 19th birthday! On behalf of all the staff, visitors and lurkers on iheartwatson.net we wish her a great day surrounded by family, friends and of course prezzies, on this her (approximately) 6935th day on this Earth. Have fun Emma! Emma has also updated with a new e.m.s in regards to her sneaky birthday, university and plans – check that out here.

Also in other fabulous-related news, Half Blood Prince has been pushed up to be released July 15th 2009, two days prior to when it was to be released. Time to update those countdowns, ehs? You can read a brief press release here.

Thanks to rampant searching over the past month, we’ve managed to track down the Vs. Magazine in high quality, including all the outtakes! Also, an added bonus, a new (and absolutely adorable!) high quality picture of Emma from last year’s Sonia Rykiel Paris Fashion Week event. You can view the photoshoot here at our (currently up) galleries.

Also, Jo has updated EWO to counteract some of the recent rumours which have been floating around. She states that Emma has not accepted any sort of teritary studies position, either in the UK or the USA, and that she does not have a Twitter. However, she does confirm that Emma is looking at American Universities.

Thanks to Oclumencia, it’s been revealed that the role of Hermione Granger’s mother has been casted for the final installments of the Potter movies. The article isn’t too information heavy, but it’s quite a good read. Am I the only one who missed the Grangers’ roles in Deathly Hallows?

Apologies for the inaccessibility to the gallery for the past few days. We were unable to do anything about it.

edit! Another photoshoot, aren’t you guys lucky? Thanks to OMW we now have the BAFTA 2009 photoshoot! Woo! Check that out here!

Jo has updated EWO with a small note on Emma’s Blue Peter donation and a brief mention on Emma’s interview with Live! (the Daily Mail article and shoot). You can view the mini update here.

Also, a few press articles have been added to our archives. Any ‘rumourish’ articles have been tagged as such. Included in this update: Emma’s lack of cinematic familiarity with her co-stars prior to ‘Potter’; her opinions on food, cooking and diet; comments on the WB ‘good behaviour’ clause; Rupert Grint’s worry at having to kiss Emma in DH and Robert Pattinson on the trio’s fame management.

Rob told YOU magazine: “I think the way the kids from Harry Potter are dealing with fame is by ignoring everything and just living their normal lives as much as they can.” source

“Daniel (Radcliffe), Rupert (Grint) and I have been incredibly protected doing the Harry Potter movies. There seems to be this feeling that all of us were bursting to break out of these images we had created but that’s never been the case. We all share the same view. None of us court celebrity, none of us want to be part of the game.” source

“As I’ve known Emma for so long, I reckon it will be 10 times worse,” says the 20-year-old actor, who plays Ron Weasley. source

She said: “Even if I wanted to be that skinny, I love food and I love cooking and I love sitting down and having nice meals, so it just wouldn’t be possible for me.” source

The British star – who shot to fame playing Hermione Granger, one of three starring roles in the popular film franchise – grew up in an academic family and barely watched movies. source

A little request from the staff: we’re not going to delete comments, but excessive language will be modified. You all have the right to state your opinion and debate freely – it’s alright to disagree with Emma, duh! – but we do ask that you refrain from using the f-bomb or other such words. We aim to keep iheartwatson.net as PG-13 as possible.

Firstly, I’ve uploaded quite a few new videos, including a bunch of new ‘Tale of Despereaux’ junket interviews. Featured videos would probably include: ‘IGN.com‘, ‘Guardian‘, ‘Coming Soon‘ and ‘Sky News‘. The official ToD website has been updated with a special Christmas greeting for Despereaux fans, featuring Emma – you can view this adorable (and short) clip here! You can check out our growing video archive here, or just skip to the latest uploads below. Also for your convenience, I’ve added an audio page for all the recent radiobroad casts for Despereaux.

Secondly, I’ve managed to unearth pictures from ‘The Tale of Despereaux’ Los Angeles press conference and photocall. They’re only medium quality, but some of these shots are absolutely gorgeous! I guess we can only wait for more of these to be released. In the meantime, enjoy the prettiness here in our galleries! Also new in the gallery – a brand new shot (used new article by USA Today) from what has been dubbed the ‘Scholastic‘ photoshoot – be sure to check that out here!

In even more ‘Despereaux’ related news, the press archives have been updated with even more news articles and interviews! Also nestled in those articles are some preview set reports from Half Blood Prince, with tidbits from waiting to be published set interviews with Emma and the cast! Some snippets can be found below.

Who do you think is the better role model: Bella from ‘Twilight’ or Hermione?
Not having seen the film [laughs] … it would be a little unfair to comment, but of course I will say Hermione, because she is just the best. source

“I loved The Little Mermaid,” says Watson, 18. “I really loved Pocahontas — she’s a free spirit, wild and bohemian. I’m a massive animated film fan. And now I have my own.” source

“You cast for the moment, you have no sense of how someone is going to survive or how they’re going to develop. I’ve been very fortunate with the kids. There are so many cases of young kids being damaged by the experience or going off the rails and fortunately with Dan, Rupert and Emma that hasn’t happened to them… yet!” source

I guess I have paranoid moments where I will hear something in my own voice or I’ll go “Gosh, do I sound like Hermione then?” You know, I definitely have an awareness of it because I’ve played her for so long and she is so distinctive and she is so much a part of me. So yes, I definitely have an awareness of it, but Pea was more gentle. I instantly felt a different person or character playing her. I definitely had a sense that… It worked out okay. I was worried about it but it worked out okay, I think. [laughs] source

In non-Despereaux news (long time since we’ve heard that!), I’ve uploaded a short and sweet audio clip of Emma discussing the best and worst of filming the Potter flicks. You can check that out on our brand new audio page or download it directly (don’t forget to right-click, save as!).

During the recent press day interviews for the upcoming animated film THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX, actress EMMA WATSON was on hand to talk about her role as Princess Pea but the conversation kept getting hijacked and directed to all things HARRY POTTER.

WATSON was game and talked about her role as Hermoine in the hugely popular franchise and even spilled a few beans about what are the worst and best things about doing a POTTER movie. source

See? Epic.

To add to your ToD enthusiam, I’ve added eight new high quality stills and a brand new, never before seen behind the scenes photo, so don’t forget to check those out in the gallery!

Firstly, ASOS has featured Emma as “One to Watch”, praising her for her use of Chanel and for hanging out with big BrITish social circles.

The beautiful Paris-born actress, more commonly known as broomstick-brandishing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, is showing the world that she’s defintely all grown up. Decked out in Chanel, mingling with the Moss set and pulling out all of the poses on the red carpet … Could she be the next Keira? Watch this space and those must-have frocks. source

In other fashion news, Emma’s come in ranked #6 at Teen Vogue’s “Best Dressed” list for October! Emma stands alongside Rihanna, Ashley Tisdale and Camilla Belle, and other influential young female Hollywood stars! You can check her out here.

And finally, Emma and Jo have updated Official Emma, with Emma posting a new e.m.s. The message posted by Emma spans Paris Fashion Week, visiting relatives, travelling, upcoming Tale of Despereaux promotions in December and frustrating university applications!

I’m currently trying to apply for uni, so reading lots and lots at home and starting to get very excited about the release of The Tale of Despereaux which is coming up in December. source
