Following the modest success of the first movie, Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief, the sequel is finally moving forward with Logan Lerman set to reprise his role as the title hero.

The 19 year-old actor has had his option picked up by the studio (he is contracted for three Percy films with Fox 2000) and will have a new director for this film. Thor Freudenthal who helmed Diary of a Wimpy Kid takes over from Chris Columbus and new writers have been brought on board for the script for Percy Jackson & The Sea of Monsters, the second book in the series by Rick Riordan.

Lerman is currently finishing work on The Perks of Being A Wallflower with Emma Watson and Nina Dobrev in Pennsylvania and has The Three Musketeers coming out in October.

A glamorous look from Emma Watson gets your attention on the cover of the July issue of Vogue.

The 21 year-old actress reveals her struggle with balancing all of her projects and education, her love of the artistic life, costar Daniel Radcliffe, how James Franco helped her figure things out and how she wants control after Harry Potter:

On the Harry Potter ‘bubble’ and Breaking Free: “I have had no control over my life … I have lived in a complete bubble. They found me and picked me for the part. And now I’m desperately trying to find my way through it.”

On Inspiration from Patti Smith: “I want to live like Patti. I want to write like Patti … The book [her 2010 memoir Just Kids] was so honest and brave. I loved the way she sees the world. I really felt that life was more beautiful after I read it, and I felt more hopeful.”

On Daniel Radcliffe: “He understood what his role was … not just as an actor but as the leading man in this enormous franchise. And I think that was almost more important in a way. He held it all together. I am very grateful for him.”

On Getting A Helping Hand From James Franco: “It was such a relief to speak to someone who is trying to do the same thing I’m doing. I talked to him about juggling studying and making films and going backward and forward. He’s not afraid or limited by what he fears people will say about it.”

Harry Potter star Emma Watson recently decided to leave the Brown University, sparking rumors that she was being bullied by her colleagues. The 21 year-old wanted to set the record straight and clean the image of Brown students.

Emma was not bullied! Emma says was never bullied in her life, which I find it really hard to believe. Anyhow, Emma just wants to take some time off to try to figure out what to do with her life and the next step in her academic career.

Dear All,

I felt the need to let you all know the reason I took a semester off from Brown had nothing to do with bullying as the media have been suggesting recently. I have never been bullied in my life and certainly never at Brown. This ’10 points to Gryffindor’ incident never even happened. I feel the need to say this because accusing Brown students of something as serious as bullying and this causing me to leave seems beyond unfair.

Please don’t try and speculate about what I might do in September – no one can possibly know because I don’t even know yet! Like my other fellow Brown students I am trying to figure out my third year and whether or not I will spend it abroad (this is common).

I hope you all liked the new Harry Potter trailer. I am off to Pittsbugh soon to start “The Perks of being a Wallflower”. I’ve just got back from hanging out with Stephen Chobosky (the director and writer), Logan and Ezra (the two other principal actors) and I already know this is going to be an incredible experience. I feel very lucky.

Hope you are all doing good.

Take care,

Love Emma xx.

Best of luck, Emma!

The most successful film franchise is coming to an end in July with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and the trailer has just been released.

It premiered tonight on ABC Family during a showing of Happy Gilmore and the anticipation was worth it. Epic, operatic and grand the last movie looks to deliver the fury and the devastation that the magical world endures in the final battle of Harry VS Voldemort.

Emma Watson has changed her mind and will not return to Brown University this fall.

In March the actress left a statement on her blog saying she was taking a semester off from college so she could handle some new professional jobs and close out the Harry Potter movies.

Late last week, online reports surfaced that she would be dropping out of the Rhode Island institution because of bullying but her spokesperson says not so fast: it’s just a change in the courses she wants to pursue, and Brown doesn’t offer them.

Vanessa Davies, spokesperson for the 21 year-old actress said Emma “absolutely loved her time at Brown” making many good friends from her short time there.

Davies does say Watson will be attending a different college in the fall, but did not name which university.

Watson will have lots of chances to answer questions about this soon – she will be doing loads of press for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in the coming months.

She is scheduled to start work on The Perks of Being a Wallflower with Logan Lerman, Nina Dobrev and Mae Whitman next month.

The end is near!! It’s good versus evil in the final installment of the Harry Potter series. The first official promo pictures of “Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows Part II” released by Entertainment Weekly are a just a teaser.

I can’t believe we have basically seen Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint growing up on the big screen. They have all become wonderful and talented actors. Do not miss the EPIC finale on July 15, 2011.

IT ALL ENDS!

Emma Watson says she feels for Kate Middleton with the intense scrutiny she’s under as she prepares for her wedding to Prince William and becomes a member of the United Kingdom’s Royal Family on April 29th.

“Poor girl. That must be an incredible amount of pressure. I hope she’s enjoying it. Must be intense,” she told the Associated Press.

The Harry Potter actress also spoke of the expectations she put on herself and why she chose to leave Brown University, at least temporarily.

“I just knew I was going to be beating myself up because I wasn’t going to be able to be doing the best that I knew that I could at school or in my job. If I’d been getting B’s or C’s I would’ve been really upset,” Emma said.

Watson just got a new costar for the movie The Perks of Being A Wallflower. The Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev is joining her and Logan Lerman for the film that should begin shooting in the Pittsburg, PA area early this summer.

And Happy Birthday Emma! She turned 21 today.
