Sorry about the lateness of this post. But seeing as this post is late, it is due to be epic.

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.
