Potter Stars in The 100 British celebrities who really matter by Piers Morgan
Posted by Megs

A couple Harry Potter stars have made The 100 British celebrities who really matter by Piers Morgan list! (as usual WHERE IS RUPERT!?)

6 ROBERT PATTINSON
This is quite a simple one. Pattinson’s the handsome young star of the Twilight films, beloved of teenage girls and other moody types. That fact makes him a nailed-down cert to be the most sought-after British movie star of 2010.
And that, in turn, makes him ‘matter’. The only problem for Pattinson is that, as my grandmother always likes to say, ‘One day you’re the cock of the walk, the next you’re a feather duster.’ And nowhere is that more true than in good old Tinseltown. So I wish him well, but urge him to watch his back.
And not just because of the millions of girls all over the world who’d like to attach themselves to his shapely shoulders as a matter of urgency.

33 STEPHEN FRY
It really pains me to include this grandstanding, self-satisfied old Twitter bore so high up my list. His haughty, worthy, self-righteous, morally superior and utterly inane daily witterings are as cretinous as they are unreadable. But you simply cannot deny the significance of someone who has 1.2 million people addicted to their every movement, even if he is on a temporary hiatus while he writes a book. If this is the social networking age, then, depressingly, Fry is the current British king. But it’s not, thankfully, a kingdom I ever intend to reside in.

62 DANIEL RADCLIFFE
The maths here is simple. He’s Harry Potter, and those films have collectively grossed more than most in history. Nobody is indispensable, but Radcliffe has made the lead role so uniquely his that it’s impossible to imagine anyone else playing it. Which is pretty irrelevant anyway, really, because there won’t be any more films after he finishes work on the forthcoming two-part finale. What’s going to be of much more importance to Radcliffe is what he does next. Is he going to be typecast as geeky Harry for the rest of his career, unable to be taken seriously as anything or anyone else? Or will he manage to shake off his gown and reinvent himself in a completely different way? Watching his development as an actor will be fascinating, and his future place on this list will be determined by what decisions he takes.

63 EMMA WATSON
When I was in China recently, filming an ITV documentary on Shanghai, there were very few British stars on the billboards. But one face I saw a lot was young Ms Watson, beaming down from massive Burberry hoardings.
Further investigation revealed that she is our single most popular female export out there, thanks to the huge popularity of Harry Potter. And trust me, if you’re big in China right now, then you’re about as big as it’s possible to be.
And that’s power. She’s also growing very rich, very fast, with an estimated fortune of more than £10 million.
And she was recently placed sixth on the Forbes list of ‘Hollywood’s Most Valuable Young Stars’. She’s also single, which makes her comfortably the most eligible young lady on my list. Form an orderly queue please, gentlemen.

86 DAVID TENNANT
I’ve never met him, I know absolutely nothing about him, and I doubt these two facts will ever change. But if you’re a hit as Doctor Who in this country, then you matter. Rather more irritatingly, from a personal point of view, Tennant was on TV even more than me at Christmas. Which is the main reason he’s down so low on my list.

88 KENNETH BRANAGH
The last time I saw Branagh, he was emerging from a workout with the same 6ft 7in Austrian torturer I use in LA. Once he’d got his breath back, we exchanged banter about the importance of a good physical state if you work in American TV or films. ‘It’s such bloody hard work out here,’ he moaned, accurately.
‘And the only way to cope with the long hours is to put yourself through this hell three times a week!’ Yet he does it, because he wants to stay right where he is – as one of Britain’s most successful entertainment exports.
He’s not as big a celebrity as when he was married to Emma Thompson and acting’s golden couple dominated the tabloids. But he won’t be shedding tears about that. What he remains is an outstanding talent who on his day can blow the socks off any other living British actor.

97 JK ROWLING
She’s sold over 400 million copies of her Harry Potter books, and also the movie rights for some of the biggest-grossing films in history, creating a global brand that’s worth an estimated £7 billion, making her over £500 million personally; she’s won squillions of awards; and she was even named the 48th most powerful celebrity in the world by Forbes magazine. So Ms Rowling definitely matters.
She would hate to be called a celebrity, and guards her private life intensely, so she doesn’t play any part of the celebrity game. And that’s why I’ve marked her quite far down my list. But by encouraging children to read, feel inspired and be creative, she has had a greater impact on the world than most of the other names on it.

Potter Stars: 100 Sexiest Movie Stars which
Posted by Megs

Empire Magazine has released their list of 100 Sexiest Movie Stars and a bunch of Harry Potter stars are on the list!  It includes the following:

Girls

9 – Helena Bonham Carter
Mrs. Tim Burton may be in her forties now, but she resolutely refuses to be dragged anywhere near ‘mumsy’. In fact, even when she’s shrieking evilly in the Harry Potter series, or conspiring to turn half of London into tasty pies in Sweeney Todd, Bonham Carter is still possessed of a delightful earthy sexiness.

3 – Emma Watson
The face that launched a thousand extremely dodgy internet countdown clocks has blossomed with adulthood into an extremely poised, porcelain-fine beauty and something of a fashion icon. Not bad for someone who won’t even turn 20 until next April.

Guys

37 – Daniel Radcliffe
He loves cricket, he’s got great taste in music, he’s absolutely minted… what more do you want? A good body? Well he’s got one of them too (did you see Equus? Of course you did). You want more? Well he’s a bloody wizard, and a really good one at that, with a couple of potions that’ll guarantee you fancy him.

24 – Jason Isaacs
Last time we ran a Sexiest poll, repeat voting by a hard core of Isaacs fans threatened to derail the whole thing. This time, he’s in a slightly more sensible position, reflecting both the fact that he’s not a hugely well-known leading man and the fact that he’s devastatingly charming and handsome. Seriously, show us someone who doesn’t fancy him, and we’ll show you a corpse.

8 – Alan Rickman
It’s good to see that here, amid the chiselled cheekbones and perfectly coiffed heads, is a man who’s sexy because he’s smart, sarky and has a fine line in put-downs. Sure, everyone loves a bad(ish) boy, but Rickman’s rogues’ gallery is united by the fact that they’re all strangely, unjustifiably sexy. Yes, even greasy-haired Snape. And as for his good guys, they’re pretty irresistible.

2 – Robert Pattinson
A recent addition to “Sexiest” lists everywhere, Robert Pattinson and his messy mane have won hearts all over the world with his turn as veggie vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga. Those over 25 may roll their eyes, but the combination of plum roles in hit novels (see also: Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), a posh accent, musical ability and that enormous haystack on his head means half the teenage world adores him.

Movieline’s Hottest Young Stars
Posted by Megs

Movieline‘s 25 Under 25: Hollywood’s Hottest Young Stars list includes Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson.

Emma Watson | Age: 19 | Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: She’s embodied our favorite girl wizard, Hermione Granger, in the beloved — and wildly successful — ‘Harry Potter’ movies.
What’s Next: The clever Brit has enrolled in Brown University, but with two ‘Potter’ films still to come, we doubt that Watson will be disappearing from our radar anytime soon.
Industry Buzz: “When ‘Potter’ wraps in 2011, it’ll be interesting to see if the young lady (she’ll be 21 years old by the time ‘Potter’ ends) can shake the spells and broomsticks and craft a new image. Whether you like or loathe the series, one thing is for certain: Watson has turned into a fine actress in her teen years. She can do heartbreaking tragedy, romance and has a good feel for comedy. If she chooses to continue acting, she has the chops to move past her persona and craft a magical career.” — Dave McCoy, MSN Movies

Daniel Radcliffe | Age: 20 | Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What He’s Done: Ever heard of a little film series called ‘Harry Potter’? Well, we hear he’s in it. He also bared his soul — and a lot more — onstage in ‘Equus’; how many other young actors have done that (without there being alcohol or a bet involved)?
What’s Next: His next non-Potter project is a biopic entitled ‘The Journey Is the Destination,’ in which he plays the late photojournalist Dan Eldon, who was killed in 1993 by a mob in Mogadishu.
Industry Buzz: “When you’re the title character of the biggest moneymaking film franchise of all time, you might just be content to sit back and enjoy the ride. But Radcliffe has shown a real willingness to branch out as an actor in ‘Equus’ and ‘December Boys.'” — Matt Atchity, Rotten Tomatoes

Robert Pattinson | Age: 23 | Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What He’s Done: You don’t have to be a ‘Twi’-hard to appreciate R-Pattz’s smoldering gaze in the first film adaptation of the teen-vampire love story ‘Twilight.’
What’s Next: The ‘Twilight’ saga continues; ‘New Moon’ will hit theaters later this year, and ‘Eclipse’ — already filming — is set for summer 2010. If that’s not enough Pattinson for you, also look for him in the 2010 indie romantic drama ‘Remember Me.’
Industry Buzz: “Pattinson could have a tidy career for the next few years as a hunky British heartthrob … Don’t hold the ‘Twilight Saga’ against him; he’s willing to play against type with roles like Salvador Dali in ‘Little Ashes,’ and the willingness to take roles like that means he could be working for a long time to come.” — Matt Atchity, Rotten Tomatoes

New Rob Pattinson Interview
Posted by Megs

There is a new Rob Pattinson (Cedric Diggory) article online and it mentions his feelings about Harry Potter.

Rob’s first big role was playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Rob was a bit jealous of the other Harry Potter actors because he knew they had another three films guaranteed, whereas his character died so he wouldn’t be in any more Harry Potter movies.
