Celebrating the launch of the People Tree line of clothing in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the fair-trade fashion label has given everyone a behind the scenes look at the advertising photo shoot featuring Emma Watson. Watson is collaborating with People Tree in the manufacturing and design of her own line of ethically sensitive and environmentally friendly fashionable wears. Check out the video of the catalogue shoot:“People Tree, Love from Emma” above.

Of all the memorable moments in the Harry Potter film series, the first visit young Harry takes to Ollivander’s Wand Shop is truly magical: from the bell ringing as he enters the dimly lit store to the moment the wand ‘chooses’ Harry, the scene draws the viewer into his new wizarding world. That experience will be had first hand by visitors to the upcoming amusement park at Universal Studio in Orlando, Florida. The ‘Wizarding World of Harry Potter’ will have a unique and interactive attraction with the wand shop as part of the theme park opening this spring.

When the guest enters the wand shop to speak with the wand keeper, he or she will be asked a series of questions to start the matching process.

“The questions that will be asked from the wand keeper to the wizard are very individual, very tailored to each person based on their birth date and other questions which will determine the kind of wood and kind of narrow down the choices of wands,” [VP of Creative Development, Thierry] Coup shared.

From there, the wand keeper will offer the guest a series of wand options until the right match is found. Like in the “Harry Potter” story, a series of “magical mishaps” will occur before the right wand is found.

What more could you want from your immersion in the world of Harry Potter? Butter beer of course! That will be available too at a Hogsmeade tavern. Check out the vid with Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton giving you their impression on the park.

Emma Watson’s clothing collaboration with People Tree UK is due next month and this early review of the fashion line is very positive. The ethically and environmentally sensitive wearables not only encompass her principles, they are stylish and comfortable as well.

[...]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.”

I have been following Emma and People Tree’s collection development for a while now - hoping it was as good as it sounded. Lots of designers try to use sustainable or natural fibers and fabrics for some of their lines and some manage to positively contribute to impoverished workers’ futures, but very few do both. This has great potential to set the benchmark for other designers and firms to get both aspects working together and still make great fashion.

The line will be available on People Tree’s UK website in February. If you believe in it and like it - support it!

November 2010 - the beginning of the end of the Harry Potter movie phenomenon. That is the release for part 1 of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. This extended trailer is less about the actual 7th installment itself and more about the characters journey to this point. It makes me very nostalgic for the final two movies. It’s quite an amazing cinematic time capsule of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint as they age with their roles. What do you think? Are you ready for the last films?

Emma Watson has been the face of Burberry for a while and now the company is adding another Watson to it’s roster: her brother Alex. The fashionable siblings smolder and look fabulous for the new Spring Summer 2010 ad campaign for the venerable clothing company. Love Emma!

Harry Potter costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are having a laugh over Rupert’s late reading of the HP books. This mini interview was filmed on the forest set of The Deathly Hallows and is included (and many more extras) when purchasing the Ultimate Edition DVD/Blu-ray of The Chamber of Secrets.

Watson is back in the UK after her first term here in the States as a freshman at Brown University in Rhode Island.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson took some time off her busy schedule to tape a short message to all her fans, wishing us all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Emma is super sweet!

Emma Watson has been crowned the biggest grossing actress of the 00’s by The Guinness Book of World Records. Thanks to the Harry Potter franchise of films and her voice over work for the animated The Tale of Desperaux, Watson’s films take in more money at release time than any other actress, beating out the likes of Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon. Watson will be seen in the final two Harry Potter flicks in 2010 and 2011. Until then, the Brown University freshman is keeping a low profile while studying in the US.

Empire Online launched the debate driven 100 Sexiest Movie Stars and a few GossipTeen faves landed on the list. Emma Watson grabbed the #3 position for the women and Robert Pattinson landed the number 2 spot for the Men.

Others on the list include:

Twilight Saga stars Ashley Greene is number 32 and Kristen Stewart is number 7. Perennial hottie list favorite Megan Fox grabbed the numero uno spot for the women.

For the guys, Shia LaBeouf came in at #49, Harry Potter hero Daniel Radcliffe is number 37, Kellan Lutz hits one higher at 36, Taylor Lautner represents at 35, and Zac Efron is number 15.

Who do you think should be higher or lower? Did they miss anyone?

Brown University freshman Emma Watson was the target of some vicious people at Harvard Voice Magazine during the football game between the Harvard and Brown. There was tweeting of her exact whereabouts during the game and a general campaign to make her feel uncomfortable and draw lots of attention to her. The usually low key actress was reportedly “visibly shaken” by the incidents.

The Harvard Voice also posted a picture of Watson on its Web site and proclaimed its stalking mission a “success.” Some readers were furious. “There is a locatable cause of Watson’s experience at Harvard Stadium and a blameworthy party,” read one online rebuke. “Anybody can do anything unfeelingly to anybody in this day and age, especially if they feel imbued with entitlement from membership in Harvard College.”

Eventually the mag’s editor thought it was worthy of their time to post a note saying it was “much ado about nothing…” When that still didn’t satisfy, the editor tried again:

“The presence of a luminary on campus inevitably creates much speculation and excitement, certainly without the help of an intentionally facetious liveblog,” she wrote. “The Voice denies any efforts to ‘orchestrate’ a mass mob of gawkers. In fact, the bloggers were never certain whether or not Watson was actually present and never once caught a glimpse of her… The blog was meant as an intentionally sensationalist parody for which no real action was taken.

“The Voice apologizes for any misunderstanding that the live blog may have caused and for any discomfort Miss Watson may have felt due to the post,” she concluded.

I find it very hard to believe that they didn’t mean to cause her “discomfort.” Posting that she was there (and they did take at least one picture of her that is now off the Voice’s site - but still on the net) was inviting a crowd to form and then what? Was it a “parody” of how many people would show up? What did they want to happen? Her safety could have been in jeopardy and for what? I hope that Emma is able to enjoy campus life as a normal teenager going to college as much as possible but with no more lousy behavior like this.

Not content to just put her name on a clothing line, Emma Watson is very involved in the decisions being made for her namesake line with People Tree. The Harry Potter actress is very aware of what is going on and Antony Waller of People Tree said Emma has “attended every single design meeting over the five-month process.”

As for the Brown University student, Emma has this to say regarding the upcoming fashion line:

“I was excited by the idea of using fashion as a tool to alleviate poverty and knew it was something I could help make a difference with. “I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian and environmental issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren’t many options out there.”

I am a big fan of Emma’s and can’t wait to see what she has to offer with this line of clothing.

Emma Watson took a little time away from her studies at Brown University to attend the Burberry After Party for London’s fashion week. Watson shimmered in the gold dress from the venerable fashion house. Emma is the advertising face of Burberry and represented them very well at the party.
