Also, more news on Emma’s upcoming cover of Elle UK! EWO has updated on the feature, posting tiny preview scans and some of the photoshoot images! As such, four photoshoot image has appeared, along with a small preview of the cover! The magazine is set to released in the news stands on Wednesday so don’t forget to grab your copy and scan it! Credit, (internet) cookies and kudos for anyone who is able to send in scans!

Bit Later … Here we go again with the magazines! The Mexican edition of Marie Claire features an interview and photospread with Emma. From the transcript (courtesty of Harry Potter Latino, it seems to be a mix of new and old interview pieces, with some quotes echoing previous interviews. They’ve been added to the gallery here.

This small (and somewhat lackluster) update made possible by newstips from Snitch Seeker, Harry Potter Latino, ONTD! and Oclumencia.

I was also able to add two more outtakes from the Arved Colvin-Smith photoshoot – I’m pretty sure they’re the same picture but cut at different places and one is bigger than the other. Oh well! Enjoy anyway! Also, the full interview for the Times Magazine scans are online, with Emma talking about ‘The Kiss’ between Potter sidekickers, Ron and Hermione. The kiss has been filmed and was done in six takes! Both Rupert and Emma have issued statements about the kiss:

“We did it two weeks ago,” she said. “Four takes one way and two takes with the camera in the other direction. Six takes altogether.” Emma Watson on ‘The Kiss’ in HP7, source

“We’ve known each other for 10 years so it was a bit like kissing my sister,” he told the Mail on Sunday. “We were determined to get it right the first time, but our first try was a disaster because we both felt so self-conscious and we couldn’t stop laughing.” Rupert Grint on ‘The Kiss’, source

Also in this post, another couple of scans featuring Emma as Hermione from the upcoming ‘Potter’ flick, due to premiere in Tokyo next week! A note, we do not know if Emma will be at the Tokyo premiere, but we have confirmed that she will be making appearances at the London and Los Angeles premiere of the movie, so keep those eyes peeled!

In other Potter-related news, a French behind-the-scenes video has appeared online! From the French 50 Minutes Inside program, the feature showcased brand new footage, new interviews with the main and supporting cast and some really indepth looks at some of the Potter sets, including Slughorn’s Party (with Hermione in a light pink dress) and Gred and Forge’s shop. You can view the video here on Youtube; captures can be seen below (click to enlarge).

Bit later … London Taxi Tours spotted the Trio shooting in Whitehall, London on June 28th. The site is reporting that they were filming “Ministry scenes” from ‘Deathly Hallows’. They were able to snap a few photos, which can be seen at the their website. Also, The Scottish Sunday Mail has posted interviews with Daniel Radcliffe and Jim Broadbent on their experiences on set. Dan comments on Emma’s “mad” ping-pong skills:

“Emma is not allowed to play because she really is too good,” laughs Dan. “If she comes into the room to play we say we are too tired. But we really can’t face the humiliation of being beaten by her again.” source

Anyway, scans have been added from the Spanish edition of Seventeen and the Australian film magazine, Film Ink (more preview-esque or whatever; for more information email dina@filmink.com.au for your own copy, if you’re unable to buy it from the newsagent).

(Miserably small has been replaced with hideously tagged. Oh wells!)

Further updates coming!

UPDATE: The Burberry YouTube account just posted a behind-the-scenes video featuring Emma on the set of the Burberry shoot. View it on YouTube, here (it’s available there in HD as well) and enjoy!

As for Hermione, her main role is to be a friend to Harry so he doesn’t feel alone in his fight. “I think Hermione has a massive part to play in Harry’s success,” says Watson. “She teaches him that the only way to defeat Voldemort is through having his friends, and trusting his friends.”

“It’s very peculiar looking back on [the films] and seeing how much I’ve changed and how much I’ve grown and what I looked like before all this happened,” Watson says. She evens jokes that, in those first movies, she looked “like a chipmunk” with her baby face. Then she started maturing, along with Radcliffe and Grint. “In a way, that’s what people really identify with. It makes it a real journey, a very real journey, because we literally are growing up with the characters.” source

Little bit later … Scans added to the galleries, thanks to EW.net.

Blurbs and further info on the campaign:

WESTMINSTER WOMAN: The news coming out of Westminster these days may be bleak — what with ongoing parliamentary scandals and a wobbly British government — but that hasn’t stopped Burberry from celebrating the historic London neighborhood in its new ad campaign. The ads — featuring Emma Watson and shot on location by Mario Testino near Burberry’s new headquarters not far from Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament — showcase a chilly but lovely London.

“I wanted the images to represent both the rich history and the modernity of the Burberry brand, while at the same time reflecting a quiet beauty, timelessness and strength that is particularly significant today,” said Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey.

The campaign breaks in the August issues of magazines including Vanity Fair, Vogue, British Vogue and Tatler. It also will appear on the brand’s Web site early next month to coincide with the magazines’ releases. In August, an interactive digital campaign directed by Bailey that includes podcasts and behind-the-scenes footage will appear on the Burberry site.

“Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for quite some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign,” said Burberry’s creative director, Christopher Bailey.

“I wanted the images to represent the rich history and modernity of Burberry while reflecting a quiet beauty, timelessness and strength that is particularly significant today.

Emma has a classic beauty, a great character and a modern edge. Her charm, intellect and brilliant sense of fun made the whole shoot feel like a picnic on the Thames.”

He added: “I felt Emma would be strong enough to hold the campaign as the only girl, and I loved the idea of her being surrounded by these young, cool British guys.”
