After almost a year of speculations it’s finally officially confirmed: Emma will star in “Perks of Being a Wallflower” alongside Logan Lerman. Emma herself confirmed this exciting news via her official twitter account.

Hi all, just wanted to tell you that for once a story in the papers is true! I’m filming Perks of Being a Wallflower this summer. Can’t wait! x

The movie is directed by Stephen Chbosky and it’s an adaptation of his controversial novel. Emma will play Sam. You can read the plot outline below:

The film is a coming of age story about 15-year-old Charlie (Logan Lerman), an endearing and naïve outsider, coping with first love Sam (Emma Watson), the suicide of his best friend and his own mental illness while struggling to find a group of people with whom he belongs.

The filming will start this summer and the movie is set for a 2012 release. Still no official confirmation on the Incarceron project.

BAFTA.org has revealed that the “Harry Potter” movies will be honoured at this year’s BAFTAs and will receive the ‘Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema’ award for their mega-franchise which has spanned over a decade. The awards show is set for February 13; J. K. Rowling, David Heyman and Rupert Grint have all confirmed that they will be attending to accept the award.

Emma Watson who plays Hermione Granger said, “This is a huge honour! I am so proud to have been part of the incredible team both in front and behind the camera that made these films. Thank you to Jo Rowling for writing such wonderful books, to David Heyman for shepherding us all through the past ten years and to all the loyal fans who have been with us throughout.” Source

A big congratulations to the cast and crew of “Harry Potter”! Here’s to another big year of “Potter” promotions as the final film in the series hits our screens in July 2011!

The first promotional still of Emma as Lucy from the 2011 movie “My Week with Marilyn” has been released online via the Daily Mail. Accompanying the photo are a few quips from some of the crew about Emma and her acting potential.

But he flirted with Lucy as much as possible in between takes. Clark described Lucy as ‘one of the prettiest little girls I have ever seen in my life… slim as a wand, curly brown hair, huge brown eyes and a wide cheeky grin.’

Harvey told me: ‘For ten years she has been this schoolgirl in the Harry Potter films and now you see her as a woman for the first time.

‘She has an elegance about her – she looks like Jean Shrimpton! – plus she has a gift for comedy and drama, and we’re just starting to see her range.

‘I feel we’re going to work together a lot in the future.’

Emma’s also been participating in a bit of exam-related procrastination and updated her Twitter and Facebook statuses a handful of times. As of today Emma’s only got two more days of this semester left until her exams are over. If haven’t yet, follow her!

I have had enough of revision – it’s Christmas! Two more days to go… x

Thanks for all the good luck messages! One exam today, then one on Saturday. Not long to go now… Is everyone ready for Christmas? x

Only 18 days to go until Christmas! Just a small matter of a few exams to get through first! So much to do, so little time… x

Before we post our New York premiere master page (at the right time, this time!) there are a few straggling bits of Emma news that have been floating around the internet lately; things like new interviews, press videos and random new photos – in conclusion, lots and lots of new Emma goodies! First up on the agenda – gallery additons!

With “Deathly Hallows” mere days away the worldwide media has gone into a Potter-spin and have released lots of brand new Emma goodies; ‘Seventeen’ Magazine in Chile has Emma on their cover this month, plus have some new photos inside on the spread; Emma’s also snagged features in Italy’s ‘Tu Style’ Magazine and Ukraine’s ‘Story’ Magazine – both magazines feature the same new photo; and we’ve also managed to get our hands on some high quality ‘Kino Park’ scans. The Chilean ‘Seveteen’ scans are thanks to Emma-Watson.net, the rest are from PotterShots.net.

In non-media news we’ve also added new promotional stills and behind-the-scenes shots from “Deathly Hallows” into the galleries. Most of these photos are thanks to Oclumencia.com.br.

Similarly, lots of brand new videos featuring Emma have also started to crop up all over the internet with many television stations airing their “Harry Potter” specials to tie-in with the movie’s release. France’s TF1 have released their “50 Minutes Inside DH:Part 1″ special (click the video as embedding is disabled), as have Belgium’s (?) Germany’s Holland’s RT4 “Behind the Magic” featurette. Also, Friday saw round-table interviews with the cast and crew of “Deathly Hallows” – videos from this press conference have also been added, as has audio; audio downloads are available via SnitchSeeker. Bliss has sent over the iPad exclusive video for the Vogue photoshoot – it was recorded off her iPad with her camera, so the quality’s not fantastic, but it’s still new footage! Thanks so much Bliss!

We’ve also added all the ‘Access Hollywood’ videos and ‘TV Guide’ video series into our makeshift video archive. Lots of Emma and Dan discussing the now famous Harry/Hermione kiss in part one, plus more of Emma talking about her hair, her performance and her involvement in ethical fashion.

And now to wrap up this post with some article tidbits! Emma has updated her Twitter informing us that she’s done with press in the UK and is ready to jet off to the US to complete her “Deathly Hallows” tour before she retires for the year and settles down back at Brown. Plus Time Magazine need your help and are enlisting fan questions for their interview with Emma. And finally epilogue reshoots are scheduled for December with Dan and Emma confirming this sometime during their press tour in the UK.

That’s London done, now off to New York! Wearing my favourite trench that Christopher Bailey @Burberry designed for me. Love it! x Source

With her role as Hermione Granger in the blockbuster Harry Potter movie series, audiences around the world have had the rare opportunity to watch the young British actress Emma Watson grow up on screen with every subsequent Potter movie. Since her acting debut in the series’ first film, 2001′s Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone, Watson has starred in all six installments and has been featured in an advertisement campaign for British fashion house Burberry. Lodge your question?

“I mean, you can imagine, we stopped trains when they said we could do the scene. I mean, we are special – we are ‘Harry Potter,’” Watson says in an intentionally sarcastic and light-hearted tone. “We only had two days to shoot it and we needed so much more time than that. We have reshoots at Christmas.”

So, to make it clear, Watson and Radcliffe’s journey in the world of “Harry Potter” still has a few more days to go. Watson declares, “It’s not over. It’s not over yet.” Read more …

Last bit – I promise! We’re currently “Site of the Month” over at Toby Regbo Online, so big thanks to Vicki for the award! Toby Regbo is an acclaimed British actor who is set to play young Dumbledore in the first and second parts of “Deathly Hallows”!

Along with her committments to People Tree, Emma has revealed that she has collaborated with fashion designer, Alberta Ferretti, to release an organic clothing line inspired by the “classic, 60s Jane Birkin”. Emma also revealed that more about the project would be coming soon but confirmed that the line would be available after Christmas. She also commented that she would “work for anyone for free if they are prepared to make their clothing fair trade organic”. We’ll keep you guys updated on any new information that crops up relating to this line!

In other (slightly unrelated news) we’ve added couple of afterparty photos into the galleries. Emma changed from her custom vintage frock into a suave coat and pant ensemble. Photos can be viewed here.

In addition to attending Brown University and promoting the film, Watson, 20, has collaborated with designer Alberta Ferretti to create a clothing line. “We are doing an organic clothing range,” Watson told UsMagazine.com on Friday in London. “I can’t reveal the name yet but there will be more information about it soon.”

So, should fans expect cloaks and pointed hats a la Hogwarts wear? Not likely. Instead, her inspiration is English actress (and Hermes bag namesake) Jane Birkin. “Very classic, 60s Jane Birkin,” she told Us.

Ferretti first contacted Watson after learning about the actress’s People Tree organic clothing line. “She wrote to me and said, ‘I saw what you did with People Tree and I think it’s a great idea and will you do something with me?’” Watson said. Read more …

Two more confirmed television appearances for Emma have appeared online for the Trio’s upcoming press tour in the States for “Deathly Hallows”.
