Update: Watson In The Three Sisters At Brown University

Posted by Lilysowl On March - 10 - 2010

This time, Emma Watson will be the one on stage. Although it is not a Broadway production like it was for Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), the actress who portrays “Hermione Granger” in the Harry Potter films will be in a student-directed production of The Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov at Brown University where she is a freshman.

According to an article posted by The Huffington Post, Chekhov’s classical play is being produced by the school’s Production Workshop, a non-profit student theater founded in 1960. With a cast of 13 other students, Watson will do six performances from March 11-15.

And guess what…Admission is free, although it’s mainly for students, faculty, and staff! If anyone attends a performance, please let us know.

Update: According to an article in The Providence Journal, there have been reporters trying to confirm online reports of Emma Watson’s stage appearance in The Three Sisters by Anton Chehkov this weekend at Brown University. But the university has neither confirmed nor denied the report.

People Tree’s Love From Emma In Teen Vogue

Posted by Lilysowl On February - 26 - 2010

We previously reported that Emma Watson’s official site noted Teen Vogue listed the Harry Potter star’s “Love From Emma” fashion line for People Tree in the number one spot for the Top Ten Spring Fashion List. The magazine posted the list on their website which included the following quotes from Watson:

“Girls I’ve spoken with are as conscientious as ever, yet there’s so little ethical clothing out there for people my age,” she explains. . .

”In a way, I did it for me because I couldn’t find what I wanted in stores,” says Emma. “This collection reflects my casual side, the stuff I’d wear to class,” she adds of the striped T-shirt dresses and soft gray blazers, spun from organic cotton—as in, grown without toxic chemicals. “The cuts are sexier than most sustainable brands. I’m a perfectionist, so I couldn’t sleep if something wasn’t exactly the way I wanted.”…

”I made sure everything felt good. Organic clothes can be scratchy, but ours feel heavenly!”

People Tree uses fashion to fight poverty by following the British Fair Trade principles created by WFTO (World Fair Trade Organization). People Tree works closely with 50 Fair Trade groups in 15 countries. This benefits people and the planet at as many steps of the production process as possible i.e. growing cotton, weaving, dyeing, embroidery, stitching, etc. It has contributed to helping alleviate poverty in the world’s most marginalised communities.

Now, I mentioned in our previous report that I had my eye on a scarf in the “Love From Emma” collection. Since I happened to live in the States, I emailed People Tree to inquire if the scarf could be mine. Today, I received a reply from their Mail Order Department:

“From this weekend we will be able to take orders on the web and ship to the US so please do log on to the site.”

So watch out, US Emma Watson fans, that scarf is mine! Lolol!

Emma Watson: College, Fashion & DH

Posted by Lilysowl On February - 6 - 2010

Thanks to Snitchseeker, we have a scan of an article on Emma Watson’s current activities by the Daily Express. The Harry Potter star who portrays “Hermione Granger” mentions why she chose to attend college in the US and Dan Radcliffe’s (Harry Potter) advice not to have a dormitory roommate. Her love of fashion and her “Love From Emma” line for People Tree is also mentioned. She comments that she will be “uncontrollable” on the last day of filming Deathly Hallows.

I’m “uncontrollable” just imagining it.

Yates: DH Part I is Dynamic, Adrenalised, and Visceral

Posted by Dijares On January - 23 - 2010

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows director Davis Yates, producer David Heyman, screenwriter Steven Kloves, and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) recently spoke with Total Film while on the set.

Yates called Part I a road film, saying it was dynamic, adrenalised, and visceral. He continued, “It’s a refugee story about three kids cut off from everything they know and everybody they love, being pursued relentlessly by people who want to murder them.”

He then pondered about the split and how one should go about splitting one story to make it two distinct stories. “Do you break it with a moment of suspense or one of resolution?” he asked aloud.

He also called Part II, “A big opera, a great big epic, with huge battles.”

Emma said she felt she was on a different film as this film doesn’t have the structure that the previous films had. She explained, “The others have this structure. You know, we come into the Great Hall and there’s the opening talk. And that’s gone.”

Screenwriter Steven Kloves gave a bit of a hint about the split, saying it was the most sound creative decision on where the split occurs. He also stated that the split will give a proper send-off to certain characters, “It should allow us to stretch a bit with the characters and give them the proper send-off.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will be in theatres on November 19, 2010, and Part II will be released on July 15, 2011.

Dan & Emma Talk DH Filming Challenges and Fun

Posted by Dijares On January - 14 - 2010

Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson recently spoke with Yahoo! Movies while on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The article talks about how this film, of course, is getting darker, but Dan says it’s actually fun to film.

“The main thing is we’re not at Hogwarts. It makes a huge difference. It gives the film a totally different feel. It might take people a while to adjust to this one,” remarked Daniel Radcliffe. “Part One is a road movie. And the action is going to be pretty extraordinary.”

Emma said she loved being outside running about.

“It was so nice to be outside, in the forest and out of the studio - running about. It was so much fun. Because it’s such an emotional, heavy film, it was nice to get out and do some action stuff.

“They were very fun scenes to film. Being out of Hogwarts just makes it really different. It just gives the audience a whole different experience. I’m so excited to see it together.”

Dan admitted that filming the story out of sequence had him a bit confused.

“It’s been odd trying to keep track of it all. I’ve forgotten stuff we’ve done. It’s been a weird experience.”

They both expounded on what emotions their characters are going through during this film.

“Harry is like a Roman Emperor in his last days and everyone is turning on him,” moaned Radcliffe. “Harry is completely paranoid about what Ron and Hermione are saying about him. He thinks they’re doubting his leadership, but while he is asking people that, he himself is doubting his leadership. He has no plan, so he is pretty useless.”

Watson adds, “It’s challenging in every way - physically, emotionally. They’re away from home. They’re isolated, they don’t have any news. They don’t know what they’re doing. They’re pulling at shreds. Dumbledore had hardly left them anything to go on.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will be in theatres on November 19, 2010, and Part II will be released on July 15, 2011.

Photo/Review: Watson & Her People Tree Fashion

Posted by Lilysowl On January - 13 - 2010

We previously reported that People Tree expects to launch their “Love From Emma” line in February. Harry Potter star Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) was a creative consultant for the line. Along with a photo of Watson wearing a few of the items, Times posted a preview of what we can expect “from Emma”:

…What Watson, as Creative Advisor, has done differently, is that she has plaited together several fashionable threads to appeal directly to her peers. She might well be the face of Burberry, and have enjoyed at least one wardrobe deal with Chanel for her red carpet Harry Potter looks, but what Watson provides is an understanding that a bit of Hollister jersey blended into American Apparel basics, and topped off with humorous slogans, will mean that these clothes can transcend their worthy beginnings — and just become cool.

They look comfortable too, which is vital when you consider that Uggs and leggings sell the pants of every awkward catwalk trend: there are cropped tracksuit pants, little sailor-stripe T-shirt dresses, cricket jumpers and hoodies, polo-tops and plaid shirts for the boys. As Watson herself admits, at present her competition is minimal. “I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren’t many options out there.”…

Emma Watson and Rupert Grint Warner Bros released a video that I spoke of during my review of the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Ultimate Edition. The video shows Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) on the set of Deathly Hallows discussing reading the books. Rupert admits that he real the last book a bit late, and Emma correct him by saying he was the last person in the world to read it.

Also, the email that included this video stated that their Harry Potter Twitter site will start to give away Half-Blood Prince posters soon, so make sure to follow them on Twitter!
