New Appearance and Goodies Galore!
It’s April of 2008 and we have of-the-month features to announce! Congratulations to Johnny and Leviosa, Pas Leviosaaa for winning the POTM and SOTM awards this month, respectively. Johnny gave a great answer to the question “Do you identify more with Emma or Hermione?” and for that, received the April ‘08 FOTM award, congratulations! Leviosa, Pas Leviosaaa is a great Ron/Hermione shipper fansite to whom we’re glad to present the April ‘08 SOTM award. The Picture of the Month page is always fun to look through - so much cuteness! - and I have one of my own favorite Emma photos, from her Times Online photoshoot, up there for April, so check that out!
Speaking of Of The Months, the question for May is up at the FOTM page. You are Emma for a day. How do you spend your day?! If you’d like to enter - and you’re definitely encouraged to try! - head on over to the FOTM page before the end of April and give us your best answer.
The IHW press archives have a new layout up, created by our very own Kaetlyn. Pretty, no? Because this is our first-ever Press Archives Layout Change, we’ve added for the Very First Time, the Press Archives Past Layouts bit to the past layouts page.
Speaking of past layouts - we look a bit different today, no?! The new layout was created by Kaetlyn, featuring photos from Emma’s 2005 Elle Girl photoshoot and textures from Hybrid Genesis. There’s a bit of green, for spring, and we think it’s pretty fun. Pretty, no?
A bit of new appearance news! Emma attended the opening of a Balenciaga store this February and we have, thanks to shyngr8 at the Sassy! forums, a photo of Emma from the event from Vogue UK. There’s a short report from the event at InStyle UK:
Oh there were other journos in the room, but they don’t count because I highly doubt they love Balenciaga as much as I do. Except maybe Emma Watson, who told me: “I have never met the designer before, but I can’t wait. I’m wearing Balenciaga top-to-toe.”
The blurb along with the Vogue UK scan reads:
I joined Emma Watson (in flats so as not to upset her teen fanclub!) at the opening of Balenciaga’s Mount Street store followed by a cosy dinner at Harry’s Bar, hosted by Charlotte Gainsbourg and Nicolas Ghesquiere.
Check that out at the galleries here!
Finally, over a thousand screen captures from various Potter DVD special features have been added to the gallery, as well as untagged versions of the HP&OOTP London premiere photos that were uploaded earlier this week.
So — will you forgive us our little April Fool’s prank?
edit! Hey all! During the period where I was Internet-less, I pulled my all my resources and added some more, so I’ve got lots to upload! At the moment, I’ve uploaded a few albums (plus the caps above), and I’ve got loads of new appearance/premiere based pictures. Just keep checking the latest uploads. If you find any duplicates, just throw some sort of shoe at me - but please, I’m not a shoe psychic, pass along which images are duplicates. Please and thank you! - Kaetlyn

Squiggles!
First - a few of you pointed out that the gallery is down. We know. Ah, technology, how we loathe thee! Hopefully we’ll have that up soon for you but right now the source of the problem is unknown.
EDIT: The gallery’s back up! Knock yourself out!
On the bright side, we have a bit of HBP news and Sparkly! has been blessed a bit today! Thanks to HPANA we know that HBP will be going to IMAX this November, with part of the film in 3D and for while you begin planning tickets for that, I added a bit to Sparkly! You can check out two new wallpapers, a March calendar wall and more gorgeous Kaetlyn icons as well!
EDIT: I’ve also finally updated the past layouts page! We’ve had some gorgeous ones, so check that out. If you’re really feeling nostalgic, you can also page through the grand layout archives, encompassing Mystique, Emma Love, Emma Online, Emma Fans, and Patronus Otter as well! (Not sure what these are? Check our history!)
I also updated the Picture of the Month, and realized we never got around to posting the fan of the month for March - oops! The award goes to Evie Diane, who made me giggle with her idea. (We should have a graphic award soon.) Check out the April question too and give it a try!
Thanks also to Samantha Laura and Stefanie for submitting more wallpapers! You can check ‘em both out here.
I cleaned up the Emma section just a bit today, updating the current looks, over the years, and more, as well as reorganizing things just a bit. Enjoy!

News Scraps
A brief article on Style.com quotes Emma as saying about London’s National Portrait Gallery: “I used to come here as a kid.” Emma also placed ninth on Vogue’s list of 10 Best Dressed for the week of February 16, 2008 at Style.com!
A member of an Emma Watson fansite forum found a video taken at Emma’s Oxford Union speech in November, 2006! You can check it out on YouTube here with thanks to Emma-Watson.net and Totally-Emma.net. Emma gave this speech way back even before I♥W was around. You can read a report given by The Leaky Cauldron here. We only ever saw about eight small pictures via TLC, again, from the event. If any of you were lucky fans who made it to the speech, we’d love you to send in your reports or photos from the event!
Some of you may remember the Fan of the Month competition and graphics competition we held monthly for a time. Fanzone fans, rejoice, for the competitions are back! Check out the Fan of the Month and Graphics Competition pages and go ahead and enter! You have almost ten days - till February 28th - to enter both competitions; winners will receive an award banner and special mention on I♥W.
Lois Lowry wrote in her latest blog post that production on the film version of her book “The Giver” has been delayed as, she says, David Yates (who directed “Order of the Phoenix” and is currently directing “Half-Blood Prince”) plans to direct the final Harry Potter movie first.
David Heyman and David Barron, the producers of the Potter films, recently said they were still considering splitting the final movie into two films and that a director had not yet been chosen.
EDIT: Emma is featured on Who What Wear Daily’s “Style Stalker”, where they link to affordable items similar to what Emma wore at the Gallery last week. Thanks to Emma-Watson.net for letting us know!
Emma’s official site has also been updated with a few more photos of her at the Order of the Phoenix UK premiere this summer.
