Definitly the first one. It was the first film ever we owned on DVD, and therefore the only one I could watch in my room on the computer with the DVD drive (never had my own TV before I got my own place). I think in 2002 I watched it about 50 times, if that's enough. I got to the point when I was able to quote the whole dialogue of the film in one go, without having the picture in front of me. It was a great way to occupy the mind when I had trouble falling asleep at night.

I like this one....but the first thing that went through my mind was: Small girl, big bags, and no one there to help her?
Um, being a girl travelling a lot with plenty of luggage myself I can assure you that we (small girls
) are perfectly capable of handling large suitcases. Not saying that it isn't nice to have someone lending a hand, especially if you have to climb a flight of stairs at a train station, but no worries. I'm sure she's fine. -
Now that we know it is true I'm wondering when the campaign will be released. Wasn't Midnight Rose supposed to be released in April? It's in the middle of the month and we havn't heard anything. I'm pretty sure in will be SOON, maybe the beginning of next week, because people will be in shopping mood right before easter.
What do you think?

Maybe she is doing it deliberately? As far as we know, she worked on being able to do an american accent (it was mentioned several times). Since this is an interview for the american audience it would be sensible to use it.
By the way, I moved within Germany about half a year ago, and I'm pretty sure my accent changed a little bit as well. I actually try to pronounce words with the local accent, because it helps to "blend in". There are many tourists visiting my new home town, and in shops I'd rather be recognized as an inhabitant of this town.
Maybe Emma tries to blend in among her friends as well? She has said how they always mention her Oxford accent, I'd understand if she tried to change that.

I don't know about Great Britain, but in Germany every teenager with teeth that aren't straight gets braces and the health insurance pays for it (well, you can say NO obviously). You keep it in until the teeth are straight and get a retainer afterwards. You only have to pay for them yourself if you are over a certain age, because the straightening is supposed to prevent damage that hasn't occured in early teenage years yet.
Three month appearently did it for Emma, because her teeth are perfectly straight. Why should she have kept them in longer than necessary? You have a retrainer for keeping them the way the braces made them move. And you don't even have to use the retainer after some time. I think I had mine for about two years and not using it anymore didn't cause my teeth to move back. Several years later wisdom teeth started to develop, which caused the teeth in my lower row to get a little closer together than they were before, but that was just bad luck (and a dentist who told me that we should wait with removing them - which opposed the oppinion of another dentist I went to later on. Grrr!) I even tried starting to use my retainer again then, but it was to late. It didn't fit anymore and putting it in became more painful every day.

I don't think it will be longer than 30 seconds, it would be to expensive to broadcast. But I think they might have different versions of the spot, which would be very cool.
Maybe they are shooting not only the campaign for Midnight Rose, but something else as well?

It was early 2000, I think in January (might have been late 1999, I'm not sure). I was 12 years old back than and had just started readings books that were primarily written for adults (I really fell for the crime novels by Donna Leon, I remember). Friends had recommended the series to my parents and they bought the first two books at the same time in early winter. I read the text on the cover, it was all about some child attending a school for magic and I thought "well, I'm over this, I'm reading books for adults now".
The books collected dust for weeks and then my father came down with a cold. He was in bed for a couple of days and finally ran out of books he hadn't read yet. He asked if any of us had something he could occupy himself with and I said "I do have those Harry Potter books, do you want to have them?". My father really liked the stories, my mother started reading them days after that and suddenly our discussions at lunch and dinner were all about Quidditch and Hogwarts. I got really annoyed because I hadn't got a clue what they were talking about. As soon as my mother had finished reading the first one I grabbed it, took it back to my room and fell in love with the story.
I also remember how there were reports about a possible movie. I didn't like this idea at all, because I feared they wouldn't do justice to the books. In the end I loved them.

Sounds like she regrets cutting it now. She sounds a little unhappy when talking about it.
And it didn't take long for her to start regrowing it.
And, honestly: While many like the pixie cut, I don't think it will be missed when it's gone.
-
I don't think this would take up a lot of her time. I think Julia Roberts did one photoshoot for the mascara, and that was basically it, but it made sure her face was everywhere for two years.
I guess it's a good opportunity for her to stay in the fashion business, just to keep things going.
Time will tell if it's true.

Emma attended another Pre-BAFTA Party (Source: I Heart Watson Net).
News keep coming those days!
-
Great pictures. Funny how they talk about her going back to the hotel afterwards under the second link. She has a flat in London, why would she stay in a hotel??
By the way, she seems to work on growing her hair back.
Those two pictures show the same angle:
What do you think? It's quite a few cm longer, isn't it?
-
They had set up the lightning and the camera, Emma came there and got styled up, the crew came there - how much sense would it make NOT to film the solution (twice) while they are at it?
It takes minutes to do that, but hours to do it after the votes have been counted.
-
Hope we'll have more news on this soon. It's quiet around Emma right now (I don't blame her, but there's nothing better then those times of HP-promotion when there is something new every day). News about MWWM would fill the break until the summer.
-
This rumour seems to feed from the fact that she has to promote two films and film another one (and keep in mind that this is still unconfirmed). She managed to film part of two Harry Potter-films (which is like three films at once I guess) and promote one of them while being at Brown, and film much more of Harry Potter while being at school. Why should that suddenly change now? If "Perks of being a wallflower" required her to quit uni (for example due to a different budget that wouldn't allow her to film it during a certain timespan - I guess the delay of the Harry Potter-filming that WB did to allow her being at Brown added a huge sum to the required budget), I'm sure she'd rather refuse the role.

@ Imagine:
Didn't know about that, because I only believe (and remember) the official confirmations on official sites when it comes to Britney - to many rumours out there that are being reposted until they seem to be real.

Have been wondering about it for about nine years now, when I saw it in the film. Minerva McGonagall would have to be the same age as Sirius, Remus and Snape (or a maximum of six years older, since Harry was the youngest Player of the century, clearly beating his father) to make this possible, which she isn't. But I guess she might have been a player during der time at Hogwarts, since she's clearly passionate about the game.

Hehe, you know something, don't you, Jo?
Anyway, great to have you back! Missed your mysterious posts.

Wonder when they did that photoshoot and where. Emma said the designer visited her in Providence to work with her, and they obviously shot those pics after that. Do you think they designed the collection in 2010, before her summer break, and did the photoshoot in autumn in the US? Just wondering. Her hair is short in those pictures, so it must have been after September.
-
I guess it's pretty much confirmed with this picture, unless it's a fake, but who would benefit from that? But it's strange that she will be seated next to Colin Firth. The people from the HP cast and crew are usually seated next to each other, especially Emma, Dan and Rupert. While we can't see who will be to her right, his hair definitly isn't that of either of them.
But since the series will be honoured, it's likely some of them will attend, though I think Dan might stay in the US to prepare for "How to succeed in business". But what about Rupert?Anyway, to much interpretation done.
With all the talk about Emma still being in England: Does anybody know when the new semester will start in the US? We have a completely different timing in Germany, so I don't know. I'm in the middle of my exams for winter term right now and won't be done with them before the end of the month. After that I will have about four weeks off before summer term starts in April. Would prefer the US-system so much, with a long brake over Christmas / New Year and in the summer. It's a pain to have all those mark-related demands right after Christmas and during the hottest weeks of summer. *sigh*

Only if it's a girl.
Possibly not even then. While I think "Emma Watson" is a beautiful name, "Emma" sounds rather old-fashioned to my ears. That may be a German thing, though, it sounds much more appealing in an English context.
True. I like the name, but in Germany it's mostly associated with elderly ladies. And thinking of the phrase "Tante Emma Laden" it might cause some bullying (you could translate that with "Aunt Emma Shop", and it's a common description for really small, dusty shops run by elderly women where you can buy groceries, sweets and papers - most of them have closed down in the past ten years, though, because said women became to old to run the business and with all those modern supermarkets it wasn't profitable to continue them, so that description might not be common among small children nowadays, I'm not sure).
I've heard that the name is getting more popular with every year, so the image might change.
-
Sorry, but I think that's ancient. It was on the GOF-DVD. Lately it has started popping up in forums everywhere, I guess because of Rob's popularity with Twilight.
But yeah, it is funny. And I'm sure they are joking.
-
I don't think she looks annyed, more like someone who is a litte bit overwhelmed and confused with everything. I guess being at those premieres is very nerve wracking if you are one of the big stars, there are cameras everywhere, the fans want autographs, the media interviews, and everything happens at the same time.
-
No. I wouldn't. For ten years I was always wondering how the books would end. It was nice, yes, but in the end I was glad to know it for good. And I don't have to go back in time to read the books or watch the movies again, so going back to relieve the Harry Potter-Phenomenon with my current knowledge wouldn't be necessary as well. Talking about life in general I wouldn't turn back time either. I'm so much happier now than I was during my teenage years, and I wouldn't want to change any of the big decisions I made. They make me who I am.
What have you made today?

Great topic!
For lunch I had gnocci with tomato sauce. Technically I just warmed it up in the microwave, but I did both the gnocci and the sauce from the scratch the day before yesterday and have eaten it for three days in a row - so delicious, but so much work! I think it took me two hours until I had them done, tried it for the first time ever. Was quite proud of it!
I also had bread with butter and salami and toast with butter and jam today, but I don't think that counts.
