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!

I also added in a few banners by myself, so be sure to take a look at those. I have quite a few donations to add so expect to see those soon. Cheers!

EDIT! Hey all. I’ve added some new pictures in the MTV’s TRL 2004 (these are not high res, I’m still trying to find versions of these that are big and good quality, so just hang on until I can get my hands on them :)), Chanel Show (MQ), The View, Pride of Britain Awards, National Movie Awards, PoA London Premiere, GoF London Premiere and the OotP LA Premiere albums. As you can see, a lot of pictures updated! Enjoy! - Kaetlyn

Don’t forget to check out the new Pauline clip on the BBC Site (only viewable by UK citizens?). If you can’t view the official site, check it out here on my YouTube page.

EDIT! Veritaserum has uploaded the A & E’s trio biography onto Youtube. The entire hour-length presentation has been uploaded in six parts: part one, part two, part three, part four, part five and finally, part six. Thanks to Veritaserum for the videos!

Also, Jo has updated EWO with some more (new) behind-the-scenes pictures of Emma filming Ballet Shoes! You can view those here. Previews below.

EDIT: Hope you all enjoy our new very holiday-themed layout! The navigation might look quite different as we’ve cleaned up and switched things around a bit – hope you like it as much as we do!

EDIT! I’ve added four new wallpapers to Sparkly!

I’ve added more HQ and MQ photos from the Chanel show to the gallery, so check up on those! Too gorgeous, hmm?

Sparkly! is also being updated with some awesome new media – check out the wallpapers and enjoy! If you’ve got any more news, photos, scans, links, articles, videos, or media to submit do let us know!

EDIT! I’m finally back, sorry about the wait! I’ve added a few more HQs thanks to the lovely Juliet and am in the process of adding more photos to the Nobu Dinner (MQ) and Chanel Pre-Fall Show (MQ)! - Kaetlyn

MORE! My calendar-making skills can’t hold a candle to my co-staffers’, but I’ve made up a December one for y’all to enjoy. Check it out on the calendars page of Sparkly!. – Allison

EDIT! hbpmoviepics have added some great pictures (caps?) from the Order of the Phoenix DVD launch, including a great group shot, which you can see here. Caitlin has also added some new matches to the Style Files, so be sure to look at those! – Karly

EDIT! I’ve added even more MQ (sorry!) images of Emma at the Chanel Dinner and fashion show nope, my mistake! If you have any more (any size) send them in – pst, our email is staff [@] iheartwatson [.] net!- Kaetlyn

Emma’s official site has been updated, promising that “phase two” of the website will come soon and also reminding us that Emma is scheduled to be at the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DVD launch today! Exciting, huh? Can’t wait to have those pictures up!

Sparkly! has been updated a bit with some miscellaneous icons! Thanks to Cassandra for her generous donations, available here. If you have any icons, wallpapers, banners, animations, or anything else you’ve made, feel welcome to send those in as well and we’ll be delighted to add them to the site!

Anyway, I felt extremely productive today and made five new .gifs for the site. They are otherwise known as animations and you can check them out here. If you ever wonder why you love Emma you should check out her interviews. I had such a good time going through some old videos. She’s so adorable!

Oh, and also, I updated the icons section with so many new icons – in every category. Most of the icons have been stored on my computer for months, and I just thought I would put them up. I swear, one day I will go through all of my icons and get rid of the ugly ones (which is about 90% since what I like changes all the time), but for now you can just enjoy the variety, eh? ;)

EDIT! Yellow, dears! Thanks to the lovely Juliet we now have those wanted pictures of Emma at the OotP Press Conference. These are all lovely, HQ and best of all, untagged! Huzzah! Let’s party down, yes?

EDIT! Me again. I’ve added the ihw.net corkboard, with things such as last uploads, featured graphics, calenders and to-do list. Just a little thing to keep you guys informed of the stuff we are yet to do, and the stuff we have done, as well as showcasing our fabulous donators and graphic makers! The link is to the left, just under the navigation. – Kaetlyn

EDIT! First off, thanks to Ameigh for letting us know about two videos of Emma at the Kid’s Choice Awards shown on Disney UK yesterday. You can see her accepting her award here, and presenting here. Thanks also to EWnet, who found a new nine-minute press junket interview with Emma you can check out on their YouTube here.

Speaking of interviews, we’re bringing yet another new feature of I♥Watson to you today! The IHW press archive is making it’s grand debut.

The gorgeous layout was created by Kaetlyn and the archive is powered by WordPress just like our news system. If you find any articles that aren’t in there now that you’d really like to be up, let us know by posting them in the comments or emailing staff@iheartwatson.net. For now, we’ll just be scouring the web for every article we can find! If you have a transcription from any audio or video interviews with Emma, please do let us know and it’d be totally awesome if we could add them! Thank you, and enjoy! – Allison

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!

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!
