Sparkly! plus Style Files
Phew, I ask for donations and I get them! Thanks to everyone who donated wallpapers, icons and Style Files matches! You’re all awesome!
Firstly, thanks to Elena to submitted 18 Emma icons, Giorga for the beautiful wallpaper and Stefanie for the 6 wallpapers she donated! I’ve also added a few new wallpapers to Sparkly! To view Sparkly in all it’s sparkly goodness, click here!
Also, thanks to Carol, we have a new exact match in our Instyle UK matches. Carol was good enough to find the exact match to the dress worn on this page!
Don’t forget, we all love donations and afterall, isn’t this fansite by fans for fans?
Our new layout is coming up, don’t worry - the coding just needs to be kicked a few times. 
And keep an eye out for the latest issue of Tigerbeat and BOP magazine. One of their journalists apparentally went onto the set and interviewed the entire cast. Click here for a quick recap. Here’s what they had to say about Emma:
[..] I found out Emma Watson beat all the boys at table tennis
EDIT! I’ve been getting bored recently, so I’ve uploaded random Order of the Phoenix DVD Launch videos onto my Youtube. You can keep track of all the videos uploaded here.

New layout!
It may have been weeks since we promised, but we’ve finally got a new layout! I guess nearly a third of a year with the same one is more than enough, huh? This one was made by Kaetlyn, and I/we sure hope you like it as much as I do! If you notice you are having any technical difficulties, please let me know. It was probably something of my doing, but I couldn’t wait for Allison to put it up (those e-mails will be forwarded to her anyway!).
You might have already noticed, but I redesigned Sparkly! a little bit. I’ve also added loads of icon donations! Speaking of the icon section, I’ve rearranged that so that the pages are sorted out by artist (were my 200+ icons keeping anyone else from viewing anything under my name in less than 5 minutes?!). You probably don’t care about that, though.
I wanted to let everyone know that Caitlin, who you may recognize from the forums, is now officially helping out with the Style Files. She’s added lots of new matches for those interested, including the dress from the National Movie Awards, if you haven’t already seen that! She won’t be able to make updates directly here so I will try to keep up with that but make sure you take a look every once in a while.
Unfortunately I have nothing else exciting to tell you. Just enjoy the new layout!
By the way - if you missed the last post, Emma will be attending the Order of the Phoenix DVD launch on November 3rd, next Saturday.
EDIT: I definitely did not underestimate myself. The layout is not supposed to look like this, so don’t worry! It should be fixed soon. Fixed!

Little Updates Here & There
EDIT: Emma’s official site has been updated to let us know that she presented a Special Recognition award to Jo Rowling this evening at the Pride of Britain awards and that she’ll be attending the first ever UK Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice awards on October 20th! Check that all out here and stay tuned for photos! There’s a few on Getty right here and we’ll get them in HQ as soon as we possibly can. Thanks to Amy, by the way, for her speedy comments!
We’ve been wandering through the Emma section and extended-facts sections updating with bits and pieces of new information here and there. Check out the current looks/last sighting snapshot, essentially Emma biography, extended biography, family info page (this one’s particularly interesting to me, check out the pictures of her family!), awards list (I certainly didn’t know she had such an impressive list!), and various hairstyles. If you have a question about Emma - anything at all that you’ve always been curious about! - now’s a great time to ask! Leave a comment on this post or drop us an email and we’ll do our best to find the answer for you.
A big thanks goes out to Caitlin, who’s been helping Karly out with the Style Files! She’s added many more exact matches together with Karly and the list really is super-impressive, as are their style guides.
Kudos to my staffmates for being so awesome about updating all these sometimes-mundane pages! These are what really make the site for me but they’re the ones who’ve put in the work to carefully gather and work on images to provide a thorough look at Emma through the years. I say give them a round of applause!
I’ve also gone kind of crazy with Order of the Phoenix press conference pictures, adding some 45 new photos from the July conference, both high and medium quality! I was so excited to find these as I think they’re particularly pretty ones of Emma.
I’ve updated Sparkly! with some twenty or so icons by Kaetlyn throughout various sections. I’m quite a fan of Kaetlyn’s graphics, do check them out as her icons are always quite gorgeous and there’s some awesome ones in this batch!
Speaking of icons, two-thumbs up to the contestants currently participating in the first round of Watson LIMs! All the entries were gorgeous and I’m excited to keep up with this round. The second challenge began yesterday and ends Friday, so check out the community this weekend to vote for your favorites and cheer them all on!
Emma is scheduled to appear at the Pride of Britain awards this evening so stay tuned as we’ll have high quality/high resolution images and event information up for you as soon as it’s possibly available!
P.S. We’ve got our usual news system back, hurrah! You’ll eventually notice some small improvements in the way it works, but I do apologize for the lost comments! The comment system will continue to be moderated so that your comment must be approved if you are posting with a name and email address that does not have a previously approved comment to it. If you don’t see your comment pop up right away, don’t freak out, it should be there soon!
