Ten years is enough

‘Harry Potter’ stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson said they would not star in the film series again – even if another book was written. The actors have spent the past decade making the wizarding franchise but think that ten years is enough. The author, JK Rowling, said on the ‘Oprah Winfrey’ show that the series might not end at seven novels as she was tempted to write more.

But Watson, 20, who plays the character Hermione Granger, said she would turn down the role. She told Scholastic magazine: “Oh, my goodness – no, I wouldn’t return, it feels so complete what we’ve done. It would just be weird, no way – it would just be really strange.”

And Radcliffe, 21, who plays the lead boy wizard role, isn’t too keen on the idea either. He added: “No, probably not is the answer because 10 years is enough, I think the films have reached a rather perfect and wonderful conclusion.”

The seventh and penultimate flick ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One’ will be released next month, with its sequel coming next year.

Emma Watson's kissing woes

Emma Watson didn’t pucker up for her kiss scenes – instead, she had to "grit her teeth" during the filming of the latest Harry Potter movie when she was called on to kiss both Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe. The next installment of the wizard franchise, Harry Potter And The Deathly.

Watson revealed that she was quite uncomfortable while filming the scenes because she struggled to separate Grint and Radcliffe from their onscreen roles."Getting into character to kiss Dan and Rupert was tough. Forgetting all of our history, and our relationship. Putting all that aside and being in character was pretty b**ody hard, it really was,” The Daily Star quoted Watson as saying.

Emma “That required a huge amount of professionalism. I really had to grit my teeth and be like, 'I am Hermione, this is Harry - stop thinking that it's Emma kissing Dan. It's not. It's all good.'"

Watson is a clever woman

Tom plays evil wizard Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, which have been successfully adapted into a movie franchise from British author J.K. Rowling’s children’s books.

On screen, Draco is the arch-enemy of the movie’s main characters; Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, played by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson respectively. But in real-life there is no such bad feeling, with Tom praising his female co-star for her incredible mind and good manners. He admits they don’t spend much time together outside work though.“I haven’t seen so much of her,” he told British newspaper The Daily Mail.

“She is very professional and seems like an intelligent lady.”

The 23-year-old actor says he sympathises with Emma over all the attention she receives from the public. There has been speculation over the young star’s love life as she has been linked to a string of men, and Tom says he couldn’t cope with so much interest in his life.

“I would not want there to be a big hoo-ha about what I am doing. I would want to do it really quietly,” he added.

Emma Watson: 'I'm like Dory the fish'

Emma Watson has admitted that she is not interested in being famous.

The Harry Potter actress told magazine that she reminded herself of Dory, a fish voiced by Ellen DeGeneres in Finding Nemo.

Discussing how she had stayed grounded after achieving global fame as Hermione Granger in the movie series, Watson said: "Harry Potter was entirely filmed in a studio in the middle of nowhere, in the most stinky, leaky, falling-apart shed you can ever imagine, and I went to that place every day for ten years.

"Yes, I made these extremely famous movies, but everything was inside a bubble, with the same people. Everything was really contained. The crew became my family. I wasn’t involved with all the Hollywood stuff, that would've made me feel really disturbed and lost. No-one ever treated me as if I was different from anyone, nobody treated us as stars."There's also my breeding. My family - and I can't really make enough emphasis in this - isn't interested in the artistic environment at all. In my house, nobody watches movies, they are academic-oriented, they are just not interested in this.

"Me being an actress is not their dream made true. They just want to watch me happy. Their main focus is not my stardom.

"That’s how I am. Fame never attracted me. Actually, I'm quite shy, I've never liked attention and money. I feel myself a little bit like Finding Nemo's Dory - I just keep swimming and don't turn around to watch the mess."

Emma Watson Likes It Casual And Classic

Actress Emma Watson says that she does not like to follow the latest trends in fashion because she considers herself a normal girl and would like to behave and dress that way!

The popular Hermione Granger from the “Harry Potter” series further explains that people who follow fashion trends look all the same in her eyes, and since she would always like to stand out from the rest in a crowd, she chooses to wear clothes of her choice, clothes which look good on her and complement her personality.Though fashion is not her cup of tea, Emma Watson still likes to keep herself updated on the latest trends that rule the ramp and so the actress is a regular reader of fashion magazines published in the US, claims excerpts from a recently published interview.

The actress who has won the hearts of many with her Hermione Granger act says that she loves looking elegant and for that purpose, though it may sound clichéd, keeps her style statement simple and classic. Whatever she puts on, the actress stresses that she always keeps the comfort factor in mind and makes sure that her clothes help her to remain relaxed all through the day.

Emma Watson had to `grit her teeth` during Harry Potter kissing scenes

Forgetting all of our history, and our relationship.

'Putting all that aside and being in character was pretty bloody hard, it really was. That required a huge amount of professionalism. I really had to grit my teeth and be like: 'I am Hermione, this is Harry - stop thinking that it's Emma kissing Dan. It's not. It's all good.''

Emma Watson Exudes Sophisticated Beauty in Elle Russia

Style wizard Emma Watson casts her magic over ethical fashion

24Aug 2010 - She remains best known for playing the youthful wizard Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films. But now Emma Watson is weaning teenage shoppers away from mass-produced chainstore clothes in favour of ethical fashions made on a small scale in some of the world's poorest nations.Watson's latest collection for People Tree, which works using strict Fairtrade and environmental guidelines, will be launched at "a garden party to make a difference", a 12-day environmental festival organised by the Prince of Wales that will be held next month in the gardens of his London home, Clarence House.

Fashion experts say Watson, now 20, has a considerable amount of influence among girls and young women who have watched her gradually shed the image of the somewhat frumpy Hermione to emerge as a fully fledged fashion icon. "I think a lot of young women have grown up with her, seen her develop her style," said Emily Sheffield, deputy editor of British Vogue. "She is a classic English rose."

Traditionally, ethical fashion is a sector associated with older consumers more concerned with provenance than design. But Orsola de Castro, co-curator of Esthetica, the British Fashion Council's eco-sustainable initiative, believes this perception is changing and Watson is part of that. "We have to make ethical fashion available and interesting and glamorous for the public," she said. "Celebrity support is providing that platform."

Watson says she wants to create clothes for people of her own age, introducing younger lengths and fitted shapes to the People Tree brand. "Emma appeals to younger people and the collection has sold incredibly well on [online fashion outlet] Asos," said Safia Minney, founder of People Tree. "When clothes are worn by someone as lovely as Emma, it brings a whole new customer in."

Watson's previous collection, for autumn/winter 2010, will be for sale from Wednesday from People Tree. "Although I wasn't centrally involved in the design, I had a great fun in helping People Tree select some gorgeous Fairtrade textiles," she said. "There are even a few party dresses, such as the little black satin tulip dress which can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion."

The paradox is that while People Tree is relatively affordable – items cost as little as £20 – Watson is a highly visible fan of upmarket fashion and haute couture.
