Emma Watson strikes a sexy pose against an old motorcycle and amongst the green forest backdrop in the Spring/Summer teaser photo for People Tree’s latest collection.

Watson has been designing with the socially conscious company for a few years now and the Fair Trade label is something that Emma was looking for when she made the decision to endorse and work with the company:

“Fashion is a great way to empower people and give them skills; rather than give cash to charity you can help people by buying the clothes they make and supporting things they take pride in,” said Watson. “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.”

The full collection goes on sale February 28th.

Head-turning Emma Watson appeared in New York City for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 premiere on November 16th. The Hermoine Granger actress is still amazed that her decision to chop off her long locks would cause such a commotion:

“I knew it would be kind of a shock, but I had no idea that it would be that big. Like everyone would make this much fuss over it,” Watson, who chopped her golden locks in August, told USA TODAY’s Andrea Mandell at the New York premiere.

Emma wears this hair style well – look how fabulous and effortless she looks in her sleek Calvin Klein dress! I think it’s hard for people to see little Hermoine growing up and that has a lot to do with how much people are focusing on her hair. This is a decidedly mature move for her.

Warner Bros released a new trailer for Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 earlier this week and WOW! does it look amazing! This trailer gives a fantastic preview of the epic battles we will see on screen in November. The official synopsis:

Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality and destruction—the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.

Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort’s Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort…alive.

Harry’s only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale—the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate he seeks.

Little does Harry know that his future has already been decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became “the Boy Who Lived.” No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.

Entertainment Weekly is rounding up the most anticipated fall flicks and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 1 is front and center on the cover. Daniel Radcliffe shows off his wand and gives us the scoop what the final days of filming was like for him:

“This film has been hard to make, and I’ve had some of the most trying moments, both physically and mentally, than ever before. I wasn’t entirely thrilled with my performance in Half-Blood – I found it quite same-y, and didn’t think there was enough variation in it – so I’ve worked hard to make sure that if the seventh film comes out and I’m still unhappy with it, I’ll know it won’t be from lack of trying. We’ve got a long way to go, but to be honest, I don’t mind. I love being here. There is no place else I’d rather be.”

Check the behind the scenes video below with Daniel and his costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

This film is gonna be epic!

‘Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince’  is out in theaters and now Emma Watson is finally putting to rest where she will be studying in the fall. Brown University has gotten the honor of having the Hermoine Granger actress and the girl who loves to read.

Paste: You are off to University in the autumn.

Watson:I am—to Brown, which is an Ivy League establishment in the U.S.A. I’ve got a place there to read literature.

[...] 

Paste: And was that also an equally deliberate choice, to step out of the limelight for a while?

Watson: It’s not so much that, no, I’m not trying to hide or anything like that. It sounds so geeky, but I really do like studying and reading, and if I’m not working on Harry Potter, then my greatest relaxation is to sit with a book. That’s how I escape stress—in literature. I always have several books on the go at any one moment, so it’s no good you asking “What’s on the bedside table at the moment, Emma?” because often I can’t even see the table! I think that all that reading is just about the only similarity I have with Hermione, if you ask me.

Emma is coming to the United States to study and will be returning to England to film the last two installments of the Harry Potter franchise. Hopefully the adjustment will be smooth for her and she will be able to study in relative peace.

It is difficult for any child actor to make the transition to adult actor and to be taken seriously in a role other than the one that made them famous. Add to that, the cultural impression a series of movies as large as ‘Harry Potter’  has had on us all and it’s a formidable task to undertake. That is the crossroads where Rupert Grint finds himself career-wise, as the HP series begins to film the final installment.

“It’s always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don’t know if I’m good enough to have a long career. I’ve got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.”

For now Grint is intent on having some fun with his toys: he owns an ice-cream truck and hovercraft among other gadgets, but he does seem to want a future in movies.

“From here on, I don’t want to play it safe. I need to take on roles that are as far away from Harry Potter as it’s possible to get. If I’m to continue as an actor, I need to play characters that are nothing like me at all.”

I love watching Grint and can’t wait to see his last film ‘Cherrybomb.’  I hope he is able to distance himself from the Ron Weasley character in the way that Daniel Radcliffe is working on doing with Harry Potter. Emma Watson just doesn’t feel as passionately about acting as the other two but if she does try to continue on, she will need to do the same thing and take on roles that do not remind the audience of Hermione Granger. I for one, am rooting for them all!
