Emma Watson
As many tabloid sites have reported, Emma Watson arrived at Brown University a few days ago to begin orientation for her freshman year.We didn't want to post the news because it was an invasion of privacy, but today Emma updated her official website to clear up the rumors and confirm she is indeed attending Brown:
"I know, according to the papers I was definitely attending both Columbia and Yale but I've finally arrived at Brown University and while I wish that I could be in three places at once I wouldn't believe everything you read! I arrived [last] Tuesday and I'm having the most amazing time. I'm still so excited to be here. I've already met so many incredible people. I'm over my jet lag and now I just want classes to start!!"

Heart Radio interviewed the trio last month as they made their press rounds promoting Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Of particular interest was Dan's revelation that "there is a Quidditch element to one of the rides." He also talks about Nagini's role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In the interview, Emma admits she would choose Ron over Harry, and Rupert talks more about his ice cream van and Swine flu.

For a long time now, rumors have been swirling concerning where actress Emma Watson will attend school in the United States. She has finally confirmed which school in a new interview with Paste Magazine:Paste: You are off to University in the autumn.
Watson: I am—to Brown, which is an Ivy League establishment in the U.S.A. I’ve got a place there to read literature.
Paste: Was that a deliberate career choice?
Watson: Oh yes, very definitely. I hope to do quite well with my A Levels [she’s being modest—she achieved straight A’s in her chosen subjects, English literature, geography and art, as well as seven A’s and three A* at GCSE level] and they’ve provisionally accepted me, so I’m off to study.
UPDATE 2 Part one of the interview is now online and can be viewed here and the final part here.UPDATE: The new clip from Half-Blood Prince can now be viewed here.

Here's a great new interview from Times magazine with the actress who plays Hermione Granger in the Potter films. Emma talks about what a typical day on the set is like, and her feelings about the franchise after being involved for so long:On the Potter set, "it takes an hour to get ready every day. They call us at 7.30am." Watson leans forward across the trailer's Formica table to show me the extensions plaited into her backcombed light brown hair to give it Hermione Granger's messy curls. Plus there are fake scars – "They must have rubbed off - I just took a nap" - and plenty of slap to make her lightly freckled skin matt and witchy. The heavy eyebrows are for real, though.
Watson is still thankful she was not forced to wear the buck teeth allotted to Hermione in the books. When she put them in, she couldn’t talk, and the director dumped them, along with Radcliffe's green contact lenses, both too hard on the young stars. Watson still found her role a burden as well as a pleasure. "When I was little, I didn’t understand that other kids thought I actually was Hermione, really geeky. It was devastating. I thought no one would ever fancy me. And the costumes..."
Teen Vogue has let us know about their stunning new photoshoot with Emma Watson. She will be featured on Teen Vogue's August issue cover! With the photoshoot also comes a new interview where Emma discusses her future after the Potter series:It's not uncommon for working actresses Emma's age to apply to college, but she is quite unique in her determination to give it a serious go. Perhaps that's because she's still not 100 percent sure she even wants to be a movie star when she grows up. "There's not, like, a burning passion in me," she admits, "that I have to act and I don't care what I do. Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermione—like, I felt that it was life or death—I don't want to act again."
Teen Vogue also posted some other features related to Emma's photoshoot: a behind the scenes gallery, a video, a fashion timeline, and how to get Emma's style.

“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.”
The actress who plays Hermione Granger in the Potter films updated her official website today with an update on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows filming:Just got back from the nicest week in Wales. Pembrokeshire is so beautiful. It was such a nice change from the studio and the weather was AMAZING. I think I actually got sun tanned! Doing night shoots this week, tried to stay up late this weekend to get used to it. I realised that in 2 weeks time I will be half way through filming my part in Deathly Hallows.

MTV has posted four video interviews with Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson where the actors talk about the Half-Blood Prince movie.MTV also talked to producer David Heyman who said that "the most difficult choice was to edit out some of the flashbacks in the memories that Harry explores. Each film has to exist on its own terms, and alas, within these memories, they're really significant and actually in the whole body of the series play a very significant part, but within the film they are detours in a way, going into a story about Voldemort, who doesn't really appear in this film."

The actress who plays Hermione Granger recently spoke with Interview Magazine. In it, she briefly touched upon her filming schedule for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:BLASBERG: Not only that, it’s probably tiring being Hermione. I was on the set with you, and those are long, long days. What time are you there every morning?
WATSON: At the moment, we’re there at about 6:30 a.m., which means I’m picked up at about 5:45 a.m. We’re filming both the seventh and eighth movies at once, and I’m trying to do all of my scenes now and through the summer so I’ll be available for university come September—though it already looks like I’ll be working on Christmas and March breaks.
BLASBERG: In these next two films, are most of your scenes with Dan and Rupert?
WATSON: Yes. In the last book, they’ve left Hogwarts, and they’re traveling around together. It feels right that it started with the three of us and it’s ending with the three of us. It’s about our friendship.

About a month ago we learned that Rupert Grint is nervous about his on-screen kiss with Emma. Now, Emma Watson has revealed that she too is feeling the jitters:"Well I've never had to do it before so I can't say I have any techniques," she says. "I've never had to kiss anyone on screen so it is all new to me.
"Of course I am nervous about it. But, apparently it gets quite boring after a couple of takes, that's what Dan said to me anyway."
Read the full story right here from The Telegraph. We wish both Rupert and Emma an easy on-screen kissing experience!
