August 28, 2008: ‘Alloy’ interviews Emma, plus HBP calender stuff!

Thanks to the wonderful R in our previous post, we have got a new interview with Emma, thanks to Alloy.com. The interview mostly focuses on Ballet Shoes, but Emma also answers questions on rumour, tabloids and the future!

Who do you relate to more: Pauline or Hermione?
It’s such a hard question because I relate to both of the characters so much. I relate to Pauline in terms [of] her experience, this overnight fame that she experiences is very similar to what I went through when I was younger; her insecurities and how to try to be an actress and worrying what people will think, or if she’s any good. I don’t know. I can really relate to all of that side of her, but then also with Hermione, I relate to wanting to escape and books and school work. I’m also quite a tomboy, so I relate to that. She’s very determined and loyal. I really relate to both of the characters.

And thanks to hbpmoviepics, there are some new shots of the upcoming 2009 desktop calender, with Hermione not featured on a month. You can check out some largish covers, plus a sneak peek into the inside of the calender.

August 16, 2008: New HBP Stills

Several new stills from ‘HPHBP’ have showed up online, two including Hermione. Thanks to Pipoca Combo for these! We also have four small images from Emma’s photoshoot with Evening Standard in 2005 - and yes, we are, as always, on the look for HQ versions of these! In case you missed recent news in the uproar about the new release date, next week’s Entertainment Weekly has a feature on the movie, we have a new still that may be from either OOTP or HBP, and the September UK edition of Harper’s Bazaar has a page on Emma’s style.

edit! New layout up at the galleries - bugs or errors? Just leave us a comment, and I’ll fix it up as quick as I can. Also, during a random update of our press archives (which has over 100 articles, just so, y’know … :D), I’ve found a couple of new articles which relate to Emma being shortlisted for the Greenest Star for Playhouse Disney. - Kaetlyn
