Emma Watson is now the new face of Burberry which was speculated about among her fans (this webmiss included) for a while now. You can view the photos at EmmaSource!  You can also read more about the campaign here and here!

Emma Watson has been unveiled as the new face of Burberry, with a stunning set of pictures shot by Mario Testino.  The images capture Watson looking innocent and charming, in a variety of classic trench coats from the Fall 2009 collection.

The ads are due to break in August, in conjunction with a digital campaign that will feature podcasts and behind-the-scenes footage.

Burberry’s creative director Christopher Bailey told The Evening Standard: ‘Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for quite some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign.  Emma has a classic beauty, a great character and a modern edge. Her charm, intellect and brilliant sense of fun made the whole shoot feel like a picnic on the Thames. I felt Emma would be strong enough to hold the campaign as the only girl, and I loved the idea of her being surrounded by these young, cool British guys.’

Thanks to the girls on Sassy!

The Daily Mail is reporting that Michelle Obama, the American first lady, along with her daughters Malia and Sasha, will visit the set of Deathly Hallows today.

Today the Obamas will strike out west to Pinewood, where filming is under way on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  The girls, both avid Potter fans, are expected to meet Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and the other stars of the movie.  The family will get a private tour understood to be conducted by Joshua Berger, an American who heads Warner Brothers UK.

Thanks TLC!

UPDATE thanks to TLC:

Despite multiple media reports of the visit, Vanessa Davies who does press for various Harry Potter cast members and events, denied there was a visit to the set planned. Speaking to ABC news she said “There is no Obama visit, not as far as I know. I feel I would be in the loop if there was such a visit.”

The August 2009 issue of Sci Fi magazine has a new six page article on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. There are interviews with director David Yates, Daniel Radcliffe, Tom Felton, production designer Stuart Craig, and Matthew Lewis.
