Emma was recently interviewed by WizardUniverse and they have posted the interview. (I posted their interview with Dan earlier today) They will also be releasing an interview with Rupert.
Do you think the fans of the book will find “Half-Blood Prince” to be a faithful adaptation? WATSON: I hope so. I think we’ve stuck as close as we possibly can without making a ten-hour movie. We’ve never had that complaint before, and I personally am such a big fan of the books. I’ve read them each of them three or four times so I think that’s a really good focus for us.
Emma Watson is featured in the May issue of Interview magazine, the magazine has posted part of her interview online. You can read the whole thing HERE! Here are a few segments:
BLASBERG: I find it intriguing that you started this journey when you were 9. How did you even know about the books?
WATSON: My dad used to read them to me before I went to bed and while on long car journeys.
BLASBERG: So then you just went to an open call?
WATSON: No, there was no open audition—they went all over England to find these characters, and not just drama schools. They came to my school and asked if they could put forward a group of 20 children between the ages of 9 and 12. They took my photograph in the school gym, and then I got a call three weeks later.

BLASBERG: It’s been a pretty effective good-luck charm. And now you’re not only doing movies, you’ve become chums with Karl Lagerfeld. How is that friendship going?
WATSON: I’d met Karl a few times before, at parties or something where we really couldn’t talk. But this was a dream come true. We spent the whole day together, and he can talk about anything—literature, art, science, modern culture. I was totally seduced. I felt spoiled to be spending so much time with him.
Emma Watson has updated her official site with a new EMS message for her birthday!
Looks like my Birthday’s snuck up on me… Sooo don’t want to be 19! Can’t believe another year has gone by. So much has happened! Really can’t believe I’ll be at University in September. Still haven’t decided where to go, it just doesn’t seem real, when I do decide you will hear it here first! Just a quiet one this year though as you know everything is so busy with my filming schedule..really looking forward to a home cooked dinner with my family tonight!
