Hello, hello all! Lots of stuff to get ready before we’re hit by the media tidalwave that is gonna hit us once “Deathly Hallows” premieres on Thursday in London and then again in New York on Monday. Bare with us cause we’ve got a whole heap of stuff to report! Oh and if you don’t see certain bits of news on the main site scrounge around our Twitter page as we obssessively reTweet anything that relates to Emma appearances!

Firstly, as far as we know the photocall and official press conference for “Deathly Hallows” will be either today the 10th November or on the 12th November – Emma, Rupert and Dan have done their first round of preliminary press junkets with radio media personalities (including CBBC’s Newsround team) and are set for a couple more days of official press at Claridges. Emma is also set to appear on the ITV1 “Daybreak” morning show with Jason Isaacs on the 11th November; the London premiere will be held on the afternoon of the 11th with the stars beginning to arrive at approximately after 4.15ish.

Two photos from the press conferences have been released and it looks like they could be from different days. We’re not sure when these days were so we’ll just post ‘em here and hope answers will find their way towards us in the end. Credit for the photos goes to @rickyboleto and @poon_hound.

A video from the first junket has been added and can be viewed below thanks to Sky News. It not only give us a some more Emma quotes but also a glimpse at a new outfit.

Righto, now onto some news! A whole lot of footage and interviews have appeared online to promote “Deathly Hallows”; most of it we’ve already posted in previous updates but there was a new one from Yahoo!UK which featured a semi-new quote from Emma.

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 has hardly left them anything to go on.”

[...] But when director David Yates calls cut, the tone changes instantly and the young cast are drawn together like magnets, chatting and grinning from ear to ear. No stars rushing to their trailers here. Between takes, they stay and chat excitedly (we caught a rather surreal conversation between Watson and Bonnie Wright about what soup they were going to have for lunch. Country vegetable apparently!). Read more?

Similarly, WB. have released the official production notes for “Deathly Hallows” which features lots of new quotes from Emma and the cast, as well as severe spoilers for people who haven’t read the books yet. Six sets of production notes have been added to the press archives.

Watson confirms, “It was pretty funny, especially when David had to take us aside and say, ‘I just want to remind you that this scene is not about which one of you can run the fastest.’ But I definitely gave the boys a run for their money,” she smiles. Read more from “The Deathly Hallows”

Meanwhile, something else has caught Hermione’s eye, a headstone with a strange symbol on it: a circle in a triangle with a line through it. Before she can show Harry, however, she senses they are being watched. Surprisingly, the figure that emerges from the darkness is a frail, old woman, who beckons them to follow her.

Nevertheless, Hermione is unprepared for the fight that erupts between Ron and Harry. When Ron ends it by deserting them, she is heartbroken. Watson attests, “She is devastated and feels abandoned. His jealousy and accusations also betrayed her trust.” Read more from “The Forest for the Trees”

The trio Apparates to Shaftsbury Avenue in the heart of London’s bustling Piccadilly Circus and the West End theatre district. The scene was shot on the actual site, which Watson says was “surreal. It was incredible to see traffic at a standstill on one of the busiest streets in one of the biggest cities in the world.” Read more from “Nowhere Is Safe”

To save her parents, Hermione makes an impossible choice. In a scene that is only alluded to in the book, she leaves her home behind, taking her parents’ memories of their only child with her. Watson says, “Hermione knows that by siding with Harry she is putting her parents in danger. The only way she can protect them is by completely cutting them off, so she removes their memories of her, which is tragic because she is losing her mum and dad forever. I was really charmed by the way Steve Kloves wrote the scene. It was moving and also brings home the magnitude of the sacrifice Hermione, and also Ron, are making for their friend Harry.” Read more from “Family Gatherings”

“Harry, Hermione and Ron don’t have a home anymore,” notes Emma Watson, who returns to the part of Hermione Granger. “They are always on the move and, worse, they are being hunted, so they don’t know who to trust. But the stakes are high, so they have to be brave.” Read more from “The End Begins”
