In a new interview with Liverpool Echo, Matthew Lewis talks about his play Verdict, the Harry Potter series and more! Read the full interview at the previous link or in the Matthew-Lewis.com press archive. Some snippets may be read below:
He explains: “I’m really fortunate this final film is the one that I’ve been most heavily involved with and I get to go out on quite a high. Neville gets really beaten and battered but he’s quite resilient and he refuses to back down and there’s some really really nice moments for him this year. I’m just looking forward to the tour and I’m quite excited for the future because Harry Potter has been my main focus for such a long time, so you’re a bit nervous about where you’re going in the future. But I’ve had this job on Verdict and it’s been fun, I’ve enjoyed it, and it’s given me a little bit more confidence that I can actually go out there and do more stuff.”
According to Truth Dive Daniel Radcliffe will be featured in Elton John’s coffee table book entitled “iCon”. The book will raise money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Dan was photographed by British photographer Andy Gotts in the Paramount Hotel’s Couture Suite.
There will be 100 icons featured in the book and Daniel is the youngest of them all, which is quite an honor.
In a new interview with Women Wear Daily Emma Watson discusses Lancôme’s Trésor Midnight Rose, which she is the spokesperson for. She also discusses her upcoming films My Week with Marilyn and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Some snippets from the interview are below:
“I helped choose the color of the rose,” […] “I was involved in the concept for the [ad] film and the tag line, ‘Catch my heart if you can,’” said Watson. […] “The hat [in the ad] was my hat, which I bought at a flea market in Paris,” she continued. “I was very involved in the script. It’s been really fun for me.”
“My role in ‘My Week with Marilyn’ is more of an adult role; I’m playing a young woman, whereas in ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower,’ I am playing a girl coming of age. She’s still very much a teenager,” said Watson, adding she needed to flirt in the former movie (“which is new for me”). “So it’s interesting. I’m kind of treading that line.”
Emma also discusses her favorite designers and fair trade fashion.
“I think less is more — less makeup, less accessories is better,” she said. “I try to dress age-appropriately, which isn’t actually that easy when obviously high-end clothing is designed for women who are older than I am. It’s a fine line to tread between looking smart and looking ready to go on a red carpet but also looking like I’m 21. It’s quite difficult.” Watson likes wearing young designers’ creations. “Casually I love to wear Isabel Marant, A.P.C., Chloé and agnès b. In American brands, I love Vena Cava. I think Stella McCartney is great, and British brands — obviously, I love Burberry,” she said. “But I mix and match.”

In a new interview with Parade, Rupert Grint discussed filming the Harry Potter movies. The full interview may be read here.
What were those last days on set like?
“[Harry Potter] was such a massive part of my life. It really has been my life. I can’t really remember a life before it. For that to just all come down to just like, one day, and like one thing, just seems really strange. Yeah, it was emotional. There was a real sadness about it and quite an empty feeling. So, I remember packing up my room, boxing everything up and I had like, toys from when I was 10. It was weird.”
Hogwarts comes under attack. What was it like seeing those sets getting torn apart?
“That was quite strange watching this place so familiar to us that it’s almost part of like a second home. It was kind of alarming really. They were just kind of simultaneous- the film ending and the sets being destroyed. I was struck the first time I saw the Great Hall become a big pile of burning rubble and getting scattered around. It’s really quite shocking for the fans.”
