JO updates her site with something about Beedle the Bard.
http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/news_view.cfm?id=108J
Jo writes of the special tea party which will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland December 4, reminding us that various contests being held to attend the event, as well as noting one of the original handwritten books she gave as gifts after the completion of "Deathly Hallows" will be on display in Scotland. Readers will recall as well that Scholastic editor Arthur Levine has also lent his copy of Beedle for display at the New York Public Library December 4 through January 4, 2009 as well. The proceeds from the sale of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" will benefit the Children's High Level group charity, which helps vulnerable children in Eastern Europe. Jo writes that she hopes " The Tales of Beedle the Bard will not only be a welcome Christmas present to "Harry Potter fans, but an opportunity to give these abandoned children a voice."

Mr. Radcliffe briefly mentions the Epilogue in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in regards to actors Rupert Grint and Emma Watson portraying characters Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger in the film adaptation. He says: "It's going to be a source of entertainment to see Ron and Hermione together."
Mr. Radcliffe continues, speaking on his childhood and what brought him into acting after he describes himself as being "crap at everything." When asked if, as a child, he lived through his imagination, Radcliffe replied: "Yes, and I still do. I have this fascination with the world. I like to observe weird things like how a door closes, or the grates on a subway platform." Mr. Radcliffe also feels he shares a few characteristics with the character of Harry Potter, including a "innate curiosity about the world…" and, he says, "We have very good friends too."

Read it with a pinch of salt..
Miss Watson, 18, who plays Hermoine in the film series, held hands with 25-year-old banker Jay Barrymore, who bears a startling resemblance to the Royal prince.
The pair perused paintings, sculptures and installations at the Frieze Art Fair in Regent's Park but seemed in no mood for buying.
Asked by a reporter if she intended on purchasing anything, Miss Watson, who is believed to be worth more than £10 million, just giggled.
Mr Barrymore started dating Miss Watson earlier this year, before she turned 18 in April. Her parents Chris and Jacqueline were said to be concerned at the seven-year age gap.
However, Mr Barrymore was notably absent from her 18th birthday party. Over the summer the teenager has been seen in the company of a number of potential suitors, including Italian acting student Roberto Agnillera, whom she met on an eight-week Shakespeare course at RADA.
Since then she appears to have re-established her relationship with Mr Barrymore.
Miss Watson earned £2.8 million in the last year, Forbes magazine reported in August, making her the seventh highest-earning young person in showbusiness.

Emma quote of the week.
In a way, it’s hard to grow up inside a film. I lived a period of my life that is full of lessons and changes under the spotlight. People have the strange feeling of knowing me intimately because they have seen my transformation from child to woman, albeit only on screen.
I learned a lot of things, met tons of people from as many different places and had incredible experiences. It was just a bit different, but that’s okay.

Diesel article on Emma.
Emma Watson Diesel NY
"Harry Potter cutie Emma Watson did the New York leg of the Diesel birthday bonanza. True to form, the Brit actress wore a perfectly pretty frock, and told reporters the act she was most excited about seeing was N*E*R*D.

Emma honoured at Chanel party.
"Friday night, Chanel’s French crew held a very VIP, very private dinner in honor of Emma Watson (the winner of this week’s most-shows-attended award, along with Dita Von Teese) at Mathis, and down the road Giambattista Valli dined with his nearest and dearest in tow (Natalie Portman among the lucky few) at the very yummy Kaviar Kaspia."
Emma's Yale visit news.
Last Thursday at lunch, Berkeleyites got a taste of Hogwarts alongside their dining hall enchiladas.
Emma Watson, 18, the actress who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, was on campus Thursday as part of a series of visits to East Coast colleges and universities. Watson stopped in New Haven to take a private tour of Yale’s campus and talk to students about their experiences at the University. During her brief visit, Watson generated considerable attention on a campus known for its resemblance to — and obsession with — Hogwarts.
John Song ’11, a sports reporter for the News, was eating lunch in the main dining hall when Watson descended from the upstairs Berkeley Swiss Room to bus her tray. Dozens of cell phones instantly materialized in the hands of starstruck students.
“Everyone just got out their phones and started calling people,” he said, adding that he first text-messaged his mother. “There was kind of a … little buzz around, everyone was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s Emma Watson,’ but no one went up to her.”
Amandla Ooko-Ombaka ’10, who works at the admissions office, was one of the lucky undergraduates who ate lunch with Watson and a few other Yalies. The young actress wanted a first-hand account of academic and social life at Yale, she said.
One of the topics discussed, Ooko-Ombaka recalled, was the benefits of a liberal arts education — a system not as common on the other side of the pond.
“She was really, really very down-to-earth, and we just talked to her as Yale students,” she said. “It wasn’t like, ‘Oh my God, you were in Harry Potter.’ ”
Before lunch Thursday, Watson took a private tour led by Drew Rowny ’10, head tour guide for the admissions office. Her itinerary included typical prospective student staples such as an information session, Rowny said, but the French-born British actress requested that her visit be kept to a low profile.
“Emma Watson requesting a tour is a little bit different than Joe Six-Pack requesting a tour, but not so much,” he said. “I think we treat everyone who asks for a tour pretty similarly. My sense is that she had a good visit, and that who knows, [hopefully] she’s going to put an application in.”
But for Rowny himself, the tour certainly had its unique moments. On part of his tour, he usually tells a joke that features wizards as the punchline, but he decided to omit it this time in front of Hermione “for obvious reasons.”
Dean of Admissions Jeff Brenzel said the admissions office tries to accommodate “reasonable” requests for private tours if the person in question is highly recognizable.
“[Watson] wanted to come to see Yale, not to be treated as a celebrity,” Brenzel said.
But Brenzel emphasized that the offices does not give special treatment to some groups over others, nor does he personally give evaluative interviews to candidates or counsel candidates about their applications.
Even for those who did not have the chance to meet Watson in person, signs of campus excitement generated by her visit still linger. By the tray racks in the Saybrook College dining hall, the only hint of color in the white-tiled area is a glamorous close-up of the actress in a pink dress.
“Do you want Emma Watson to come to Yale?” the poster reads. “Then push your tray to the back!”

Yale uni news on Emma as she visits yesterday.
Magic came to Yale yesterday as campus was abuzz with excitement over the sighting of Emma Watson, the 18-year-old British starlet of Harry Potter fame, who received a private tour. One student said he spotted Watson eating in the Berkeley dining hall balcony with her “mum” and a Yale student. “People went nuts on campus, trying to touch her,” he said. In a brief conversation with Watson, perhaps better known as the character Hermione, the student said he learned the actress, who received straight A grades on her A-level exams, toured Harvard on Tuesday and Brown on Wednesday. Note to Emma: Yale is Hogwarts. Harvard is Azkaban.

Article:
"Lady in Waiting"
Juliette Baxter catches up with Emma Watson, England's "It" Girl and newest trend-setter, as she graduates from Harry Potter to Hollywood. Photography by Lorenzo Agius.
Finally, a young starlet who doesn't suggest she's "just a regular girl" who happens to be living the dream. Emma Watson, 18, more commonly known as Hermione Granger from the billion-dollar Harry Potter franchise, would have a hard time convincing us she's anything but extraordinary. She's one of the top earning young stars in the world, reportedly pocketing $4 million [note from bravelittletoaster: that would be Canadian dollars] a movie; she's starring in the animated feature The Dale of Despereaux (look for it next month) alongside Hollywood heavyweights Dustin Hoffman and Matthew Broderick; she's a red-carpet fave, sporting Chanel couture often and effortlessly; she's finished her A Levels (that's senior year in the U.K.) with A+ marks; and she considers Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling an inspiration--and a friend.
"[Rowling's] always told me I remind her of herself, which is so unbelievable because she's so amazing," says Watson, stumbling over her words and the comparison. The best advice she's received from the woman she personally calls "Jo" came when Watson confided in Rowling regarding a major life decision (which she remains elusive about): "Trust yourself. I know you will succeed at anything you do."
The evidence of her success is compelling. At nine years old, she was among thousands of girls vying to play the coveted role of Hermione and her eagerness to thrive at the character slowed down shooting during Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. "I wanted everything to be so perfect. I would work so hard to memorize my lines and the scene; we would have to stop shooting because I was mouthing Rupert [Grint]'s and Dan [Radcliffe]'s lines at the same time. That's something I had to get over."
Seven years later, the young actor has graduated to blockbuster star status. She's learned to position herself in her best light, she's stopped looking straight into the camera, she knows the different between the key grip and a dolly, and she's just wrapped one of her most challenging scenes in the highly anticipated Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, slated for release in July 2009. "I had to cry for the first time when Hermione watches Ron kiss Lavender. It was difficult to bring up all that emotion and hurt in front of a full crew, and not just once, but over and over again from different angles."
Watson's not only grown as an actor but also a burgeoning style setter. She's quick to rhyme off her favourite labels: Chanel, Burberry, Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga. "I don't like to look too perfect," she says. "I like to mix and match my own outfits." She's especially proud of the vintage outfit she pulled together with her mom and Harry Potter costume designer Jany Temime for the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (Rachel Zoe, eat your heart out.) She confessed one of her style inspirations is Molly Ringwald in the '80s flick Pretty in Pink. "I just love the way she put things together. It's so different and unexpected."
Most importantly, during her tenure playing a role as iconic as Princess Leia in Star Wars, Watson's mastered the media, us included. "What advice would you give teen queen Miley Cyrus?" Diplomatically, and empathetically, she replies: "I would never tell anyone what to do. All I know is that it's hard, really hard [being famous]. One you've invited the media into your life, you have to live with it. Focusing on school helped me get through it."
While some young stars are chewed up, spit out and left to negotiate fame on their own, the guiding hand of Warner Bros. studios helped Watson remain levelheaded. She explains Harry Potter movie execs were aware from the beginning they were going to change the course of her life and were sensitive to her needs: since the start, Watson has had the same driver, Nigel ("I just love him"), and on-set Potter hair and makeup team ("They're there first thing in the morning until I take off my makeup at night"); when going out somewhere very public, bodyguards are willingly provided; and shoots are scheduled around her classes and exams, without question. "The publicity department was also very mindful about which media we [Watson, Radcliffe (Harry) and Grint (Ron)] were exposed to. They would send us on media junkets together so we could rely on each other."
While she talks, it's clear Watson finds comfort in her costars. "They're very protective," she says, and together they've survived the juggernaut of overnight fame, media scrutiny and the pressure of carrying the weight of the Harry Potter industry. Watson adores their friendship, in and out of character, because both are so honest. "I have a lot of guy friends. I love that I always know where I stand with them." Although destined to headline with Radcliffe and Grint for another two years, she's aware her life as she knows it is shifting. "I am in a transitional period in a lot of different ways. I am changing and making lots of decisions about my future. It's a very exciting and slightly scary time." And there's plenty of speculation buzzing in the blogosphere about her next move--she's planning to go to Cambridge; she's reportedly becoming the poster girl for a major fashion label; and she is set to star in Napoleon and Betsy, as the object of the French emperor's affection, a role originally offered to Scarlett Johansson. Whatever happens next, you can bet we will all be watching.

"[Rowling's] always told me I remind her of herself, which is so unbelievable because she's so amazing," says Watson, stumbling over her words and the comparison. The best advice she's received from the woman she personally calls "Jo" came when Watson confided in Rowling regarding a major life decision (which she remains elusive about): "Trust yourself. I know you will succeed at anything you do."
The evidence of her success is compelling. At nine years old, she was among thousands of girls vying to play the coveted role of Hermione and her eagerness to thrive at the character slowed down shooting during Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. "I wanted everything to be so perfect. I would work so hard to memorize my lines and the scene; we would have to stop shooting because I was mouthing Rupert [Grint]'s and Dan [Radcliffe]'s lines at the same time. That's something I had to get over."
Seven years later, the young actor has graduated to blockbuster star status. She's learned to position herself in her best light, she's stopped looking straight into the camera, she knows the different between the key grip and a dolly, and she's just wrapped one of her most challenging scenes in the highly anticipated Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, slated for release in July 2009. "I had to cry for the first time when Hermione watches Ron kiss Lavender. It was difficult to bring up all that emotion and hurt in front of a full crew, and not just once, but over and over again from different angles."
Watson's not only grown as an actor but also a burgeoning style setter. She's quick to rhyme off her favourite labels: Chanel, Burberry, Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga. "I don't like to look too perfect," she says. "I like to mix and match my own outfits." She's especially proud of the vintage outfit she pulled together with her mom and Harry Potter costume designer Jany Temime for the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (Rachel Zoe, eat your heart out.) She confessed one of her style inspirations is Molly Ringwald in the '80s flick Pretty in Pink. "I just love the way she put things together. It's so different and unexpected."
Most importantly, during her tenure playing a role as iconic as Princess Leia in Star Wars, Watson's mastered the media, us included. "What advice would you give teen queen Miley Cyrus?" Diplomatically, and empathetically, she replies: "I would never tell anyone what to do. All I know is that it's hard, really hard [being famous]. One you've invited the media into your life, you have to live with it. Focusing on school helped me get through it."
While some young stars are chewed up, spit out and left to negotiate fame on their own, the guiding hand of Warner Bros. studios helped Watson remain levelheaded. She explains Harry Potter movie execs were aware from the beginning they were going to change the course of her life and were sensitive to her needs: since the start, Watson has had the same driver, Nigel ("I just love him"), and on-set Potter hair and makeup team ("They're there first thing in the morning until I take off my makeup at night"); when going out somewhere very public, bodyguards are willingly provided; and shoots are scheduled around her classes and exams, without question. "The publicity department was also very mindful about which media we [Watson, Radcliffe (Harry) and Grint (Ron)] were exposed to. They would send us on media junkets together so we could rely on each other."
While she talks, it's clear Watson finds comfort in her costars. "They're very protective," she says, and together they've survived the juggernaut of overnight fame, media scrutiny and the pressure of carrying the weight of the Harry Potter industry. Watson adores their friendship, in and out of character, because both are so honest. "I have a lot of guy friends. I love that I always know where I stand with them." Although destined to headline with Radcliffe and Grint for another two years, she's aware her life as she knows it is shifting. "I am in a transitional period in a lot of different ways. I am changing and making lots of decisions about my future. It's a very exciting and slightly scary time." And there's plenty of speculation buzzing in the blogosphere about her next move--she's planning to go to Cambridge; she's reportedly becoming the poster girl for a major fashion label; and she is set to star in Napoleon and Betsy, as the object of the French emperor's affection, a role originally offered to Scarlett Johansson. Whatever happens next, you can bet we will all be watching.
