  • Emma Watson Talks About 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows'
    Photo By: Helen Krovski Emma Watson Talks About ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows’ By: Rebecca Murray mma Watson began the Harry Potter series as a fresh-faced, wild-haired big screen newcomer. Now with the final film finished shooting, the seventh film hitting theaters and only one more left Eto promote, Watson is thankful for the experience but ready to move on with life. She’s currently enrolled at Brown University and is enjoying her time as a college student. Though she had to take a couple of weeks off from her studies in order to promote Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, she’s look- ing forward to maybe working on a film a year—if that—and having as normal a college experience as possible. We didn’t make it to London for this year’s press junket for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, but Warner Bros shared audio files from the next to last press tour for theHarry Potter franchise. Here are some of Emma Watson’s key answers regarding life on the set of Deathly Hallows, kissing her co-stars, and shooting that final Harry Potter scene. 2 — about Entertainment On Harry, Ron, and Hermione: Emma Watson: “You know, it was so nice not having that whole infrastructure of having the castle and the school year. As much as it’s been “The thing about working with amazing to work with all the talent, it can become quite stilted having all these kind of like barriers in David Yates is you always hear this place.

  • Emma Watson's New Day by Amanda Foreman | Photographed by Mario Testino
    Emma Watson's New Day by Amanda Foreman | photographed by Mario Testino » SEE THE SLIDESHOW « It’s the pixie-cut hair and flawless skin that give her away. Emma Watson is dressed unobtrusively in a cotton flower-print French Connection dress and beige sandals, but she is unmistakable. Fans have accosted her five times in the past half hour alone. Today is the actress’s twenty-first birthday, and she is determined to spend it as she pleases—which means a leisurely mid-morning latte followed by a stroll through the Joan Miró exhibition at London’s Tate Modern. Emma ignores the stares and continues to chat animatedly about Miró’s willingness to take risks with his art. An avid painter herself—“I love it and have a need to do it”—she can talk eloquently about every picture on the wall. Her favorite is The Farm, a painting once owned by Ernest Hemingway that brought the artist his first taste of success outside Spain. What she admires, Emma tells me, is that Miró was both a draftsman and a painter, unafraid to combine these talents to create something that was simultaneously surreal and hyperreal. Her words could just as well apply to what is happening around us. The increasingly febrile atmosphere is, frankly, terrifying as word filters through that Hermione Granger, Emma’s alter ego (who will make her final appearance in this month’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2), is in the building. A raucous band of teenagers turns around and heads straight toward her.

  • It's the Season for Big Movies and Big Hits—And the Occasional Sleeper
    Summer Blockbusters It’s the season for big movies and big hits—and the occasional sleeper. Here are directors living large in a selection of shots from some good old summertime films. HANGING OUT: (opposite) Michael Bay looks up at Mark Wahlberg in Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014). The Hong Kong set took 16 weeks to build in downtown Detroit and was so large, shooting had to be adjusted to allow the downtown light rail system to pass through; (above) Todd Phillips (center) sets up a driving shot en route to Las Vegas for The Hangover (2009). “There is a real freedom and an energy and an aggressiveness that comes with doing an R-rated movie,” Phillips said. “As a comedy director, it’s where you want to be.” 54 dga quarterly PHOTOS: (LEFT) FRANK MASI/WARNER BROS.; (OPPOSITE) ANDREW COOPER/PARAMOUNT PICTURES/EVERETT dga quarterly 55 THE NEXT THING: Jon Favreau (center) directs a scene with Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle in Iron Man 2 (2010). Since so much of the technology depicted in the first Iron Man had inspired video games, Favreau pushed the sequel further into the future so that the look wouldn’t be behind the curve. WIZARD OF HOGWARTS: Ten years of storytelling comes to an end as David Yates prepares Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) for his impending death in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011). Yates’ idea for his four Potter films was to make the magic “something visceral, frightening and percussive.” CHILD’S PLAY: Steven Spielberg (center) framed most of E.T.
