    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.

Amanda Nevill, CEO of the BFI, said: “With spend from film production over £1.4 billion, audiences flocking to cinemas and UK box office topping £1.2 billion for the first time, today’s numbers show a golden age of British film continuing – and underlines film’s important contribution to the UK economy. It’s significant that a wide range of fantastic British independent films won the hearts and minds of audiences in a hugely competitive year, but it’s clear that the market is still tough for the makers and distributors of independent and specialised films – something the BFI is seeking to address through its Film Forever strategy.” UK box office in 2015 Independent home-grown productions were embraced by UK audiences in 2015, with a wide range of titles achieving a market share at the UK box office of 11% - the third highest since records began.
