Thanks to our forum member mischiefmanaged for the tip!

For the past seven years, we’ve equated Emma Watson with Hermione Granger. But recently, Emma has followed in the footsteps of her Harry Potter costars, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe, by moving on to other movie roles. First up: Ballet Shoes, a TV movie for the UK’s BBC. (US fans can check it out September 2 on DVD!) We chatted with Emma about slipping into her new role, working without the Potter boys, and much more.

So what was it like doing something other than a Harry Potter movie?
It was wonderful. It was really nice to do something completely different. Obviously, we did it for the BBC, which is a British television channel. It was done in a TV format, so it was completely different to being on a massive big Hollywood blockbuster. We shot four scenes in one day and we were working six-day weeks. It was much more the crew and it was very different but I absolutely loved it. It was different.

What was it like working without Rupert and Daniel?
It was nice to be with lots of girls. It was a really nice change because usually on Potter I’m with guys all the time and I was with Lucy [Boynton] and Yasmin [Paige] and Emilia [Fox] and Victoria [Wood] everyday. That was really nice. It was lovely.

How did it feel doing a more straightforward film with no special effects?
Yeah, that was actually lovely. That was really nice not to having to worry so much about the technical aspect of it, just focus on the acting.

What was it like playing Pauline as opposed to Hermione?
One of the great things is that in playing Pauline, I got to dress up and be much more girly. She’s an actress, I got to dress up as Alice in Wonderland and there’s a part in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Then she’s in this film that’s a period piece, so I got to wear a corset and an old dress and a wig. I got to have so much fun with all the ’30s make-up. It was really good fun to do something that was out of school uniform and out of jeans and a t-shirt and something completely different. It was lovely.

124 - EXT. ENTRANCE/CAVE

Harry and Dumbledore emerge from the cave. Dumbledore, pale and weak, scans the stars wearily, leans heavily on Harry.

HARRY
Don’t worry, sir. We’re nearly there.

DUMBLEDORE
I am not worried, Harry. I am with you.

125 - INT. GREAT HALL - SAME TIME - NIGHT

We HOLD on the gothic glass of the main window. Ambient light, ominous and cool, plays across its shimmering surface. Flitwick, arms flowing gracefully, conducts a group of FIFTH YEARS, looks up toward the window, eyes the pulsating light.

126 - EXT. COURTYARD - SAME TIME - NIGHT

McGonagall stands in the courtyard as the CHOIR DRIFTS FAINTLY on the night air. She glances up to the sky, a curious expression on her face, then spies a pair of First Years straggling across the courtyard.

PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL
To your Houses. No dawdling.

Regarding the scene in the Room of Requirements where Harry & Ginny are about to kiss. EEK!

Remember that guy that posted some new bits of the HBP script? If you haven’t read it yet, find it here with the scene with the Trio at Hogsmeade. Well, he posted another new callsheet to prove he’s really legit.

So he posted some more information about that scene and more:

Okay I’ll answer only a few questions, but after I’ve answered these I won’t be posting anymore until I post the next script scene.

The real Unbreakable Vow scene is really good. A lot like the book. Wormtail even appears briefly at the beginning. When we first see Snape he’s reading a newspaper about the bridge collapse and Harry now being The Chosen One.

I haven’t seen Fawkes mentioned. I don’t have the scene but I have callsheets.

The cave and tower scenes will give you chills - it did when I read it.

Ginny takes Harry to the RoR to hide the book. She kisses him in there, it’s their first kiss. The relationship is done a bit differently compared to the book. There’s a lot of build up since there wasn’t much Ginny in the other movies. In fact I’d say there’s more H/G in the movie. There’s a lot of Ginny. She’s very canon like and you can see that especially from her first scene.

I’m deciding between two scenes for the next one to post. The memory from the trailer and the joke shop. But it will be one of those two.

We have another RADA picture thanks again to incognito!

P.S. Sorry for the delay in posting it I’ve been busy and sick.

.

The 6th part is a major movie for Ginny.
Bonnie Wright: Yeah , Yeah I..
Evanna Lynch: You’re supposed to say: “I’m really looking forward to play Ginny again.”
BW:Yeah it’s definitely a good film for her. Until now it was a lot of fun.

Are we going to see the scene with Luna during Quidditch in the movie ?
EL: Yes… no, wait a minute. The commentary, I don’t think so, but the lions hat is there to make us forget the no commentary thing.

…

You’ve known Emma for so long, it has to be strange to fall in love with her now:
RG: Yes, especially after reading the 7th book and knowing how the story ends [they get married]. It’s a little embarrassing but we’ll get through it.
DR: I’m going to try to bring something of the Will Ferrell comedy school to Hogwarts. That’s going to be my mission. No, I love comedy and it will be interesting to see more of Harrys sense of humor
BW: We’re doing it for so long now and can be relaxed and concentrated on the acting . And David Yates is directing again and it’s nice to have that kind of continuity.
EL: It’s always nice to be here. No matter what you have to do even if you only have a few scenes, you’re meeting new people. There’s not a single boring day. The next movie is probably going to be not as dark as the last on . In the book are a lot of funny scenes

Thanks to Julia for this photo. I apologize that I didn’t post it earlier…4 days ago XD

The douche, Alan Horn, of Warner Bros has issued an Official Statement to disappointed fans.

As you will no doubt have heard already, Warner Brothers has delayed the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from this November to next July (2009). Alan Horn - the President Chief Operator Officer of Warner Brothers - has issued the following statement to disappointed fans.

Alan Horn

Many of you have written to me to express your disappointment in our moving “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” to Summer 2009. Please be assured that we share your love for Harry Potter and would certainly never do anything to hurt any of the films. Over the past 10 years, we have nurtured and protected each film, and the integrity of the books upon which they are based, to the best of our ability. The decision to move “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” was not taken lightly, and was never intended to upset our Harry Potter fans.

We know you have built this series into what it is, and we thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm and support. If I may offer a silver lining: there would have been a two-year gap between “Half-Blood Prince” and the much-anticipated first part of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” which opens in November 2010. So although we have to wait a little longer for “Half-Blood Prince,” the wait from that film until “Deathly Hallows” will be less than 18 months. I am sorry to have disappointed you now, but if you hold on a little longer, I believe it will be worth the wait.

Steamy new sex scene for our Ron Weasley has been filmed for his new movie hitting theaters January 2009.

Looking to move on from Harry Potter, British actor Rupert Grint (best known for playing Ron Weasley) has stepped into a very challenging role in new indie film “Cherry Bomb”.

Having filmed a sex scene with fellow co-star Kimberley Nixon, actor Rupert Grint is expected to shock audiences with his new role.

On another note, Rupert celebrates his 20th birthday next week on August 24th.

Update #1: Our forum member, NYC10016, attended the event and took a picture of Danie Radcliffe giving her an autograph and the autograph itself. See them below.

Thanks to reddiej, from SnitchSeeker for letting us about her meet with Dan Radcliffe @ TimesTalk in New York. While she was there, she took notes of the topics TimesTalk questioned Daniel Radcliffe and you can read her notes below.

For the latest updates & Pictures, visit our forum!!

Pictures of Daniel Radcliffe from the Event:

- Dan’s first experience with Broadway plays was the musical Chicago as a child, where his parents made him listen to the music from a young age; he said that the first play he saw live was probably Chicago, as well.
- He says that doing theatre work legitimises an actor more because of all the work put into it, and that a lot of training goes into it.
- He prepared for 18 months for Equus, though in the first two months was worried that he wasn’t going to be able to get the entire performance down (afraid he was going to be “awful”); said that with the help of director Thea Sharrock and his costars, if he messed up, he “could not be messing up with better people.”

In this scene, Rupert’s character “Malachy” gets his ass whooped by some guys for chatting up the hot new (but crazy) girl “Michelle” played by Kimberly Nixon. “Cherry Bomb” is released in January 2009.

MOVIE DETAILS

Stokes gave Feltbeats.com more information on what will be needed to “green light” the film - essentially, more financing. Although a large portion of the funding has already been secured, Stokes is waiting for more. After all, this is a £7.2 MILLION-budget movie!

“We are still waiting to find a proportion of the funding,” Stokes said. “I am sure we will get it, but we can’t start filming until we do.”

When asked if funding might cause a filming delay, Stokes said it was possible. “We’re hoping to film in November, but if there is a delay will fit it around Tom’s commitments,” he said.

TOM’S ROLE

Stokes says Tom Felton will actually be playing the role of “older Robbie,” rather than “younger Robbie,” contrary to what some have previously speculated. Stokes says that Tom’s is the leading part and will have considerable screen time.

“It is a very demanding part as Robbie appears in virtually every single scene in the film,” Stokes said. “[For example,] we’ll need Tom for 6 weeks filming whereas we’ll need Emma (Sara Paxton) for only three weeks filming.”

THE BOOK

The movie will be based on the book, written by Stokes, called “Emma of Lulworth Cove.” It is available on Amazon.com.

THE HAIR

Feltbeats.com has gotten several e-mails from Felton Fans about what hair color and style Tom might have in the role of Robbie.

According to Stokes, in his book the character Robbie has dark hair. That doesn’t mean, however, that Tom would have to have dark hair in his role as Robbie, says Stokes.

“We don’t really know about Robbie’s hair,” Stokes says. “It will depend on what the director wants.”

But, Stokes says, there is the possibility that Tom’s platinum locks could remain. “There is no [reason] why it shouldn’t remain blond,” he says. “Blond hair is quite striking.”

Note: This article is from 5 August.

Feltbeats.com has just received word from Ray Stokes, author/producer of the planned movie “Emma of Lulworth Cove” that Tom has accepted the role!

Stokes told Feltbeats.com minutes ago, “We have had word from Tom Felton’s agent this morning and they have accepted our offer and will await the green light.”

“We feel this movie will be a good opportunity for Tom as he’s getting older and needs to think about other roles apart from [Harry Potter] to keep his career on track,” Stokes continued. “We’re very happy to have him and we are more an more convinced he’s make a great Robbie.”

LONDON, U.K. –

Danielle Radcliff may play a wizard in the “Harry Potter” movies, but when it comes to women, he doesn’t have any magic tricks.

“Look at them until they notice you and hope for the best,” Daniel told Entertainment Weekly of his courting rituals.

In fact, Radcliffe, 19, said he is only coming to terms with the dating process.

“I never had any idea how to talk to girls until a year or so ago,” Daniel said. “I still come out with trivial crap when I’m flirting, but I like to think I’m doing it in a faintly endearing way.”

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Leaked Script:

53 - INT. THREE BROOMSTICKS - LATER - DAY

As the trio enter, Harry glances round, locates Slughorn at the bar, planted plumply on a stool.

HARRY
No. Over here.

Hermione and Ron, in the midst of seating themselves at a perfectly acceptable—and clean—table, see Harry seat himself at one strewn with detritus of a previous customer–but which puts him in direct view of Slughorn. They exchange a glance, shrug, join Harry. Ron starts to take the chair directly opposite Harry–blocking his view.
