Australian company Black Milk Clothing has created a Harry Potter collection in collaboration with Warner Bros.  The collection includes leggings, swimsuits and dresses all with Harry Potter images and themes. The collectionis made up of 30 pieces ranging from $60 AUD to $100 AUD and is now available on Black Milk Clothing’s website!

Warner Bros. Consumer Products Australia and New Zealand and Black Milk Clothing are creating fashion magic for female Harry Potter fans around the world with the online launch of a collection inspired by the films, releasing today.

Featuring the Australian fashion powerhouse?s signature body-hugging leggings, swimsuits and dresses, the collection showcases iconic moments from the Harry Potter films, including Maurauder?s Map leggings, a Deathly Hallows swimsuit, Wanted Bellatrix dress and Gryffindor House Shooter Tops, to name a few.

The inspiration for the range comes straight from the Black Milk Clothing social media community, one of the largest across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for a fashion brand in Australia.

Black Milk Clothing marketing manager, Cameron Parker, said he?s never seen such a reaction in anticipation for a collection.

“The Harry Potter collection is one of our most exciting yet. All of our releases always resonate with a particular group of people, and Harry Potter is such a fan-favourite that crosses generations,” Mr Parker said.

“The coolest thing about the Harry Potter collection is that the garments are designed with fashion and wearability in mind, yet they?re a bit subtle – almost like a secret handshake between fans.”

Echoing Parker?s sentiments is Warner Bros. Consumer Products Australia and New Zealand Managing Director, Preston Kevin Lewis, who agrees the range will delight Harry Potter fans and fashionistas alike.

“Black Milk Clothing has firmly cemented itself as a leader in Australian fashion design with its very unique style so we?re thrilled to continue our ongoing partnership, this time showcasing one of the most beloved brands in the Warner Bros. family,” Mr Lewis said.

“The Harry Potter range is a strong example of the power of this iconic film series – and if the fan excitement in the lead up to this launch is anything to go by, this collection is set to be one of the strongest yet.”

The Irish Times has posted a new interview with Evanna Lynch where she discusses Potter, her future in acting and gaining confidence! A snippet from the interview may be read below, read the full interview at the Irish Times.

At 14 years of age, she snagged a role thousands of girls dreamed of, stepping into a colossal film franchise with millions of fans around the world. “At the time it was ‘I want to play Luna Lovegood, I want to be in the Harry Potter films,’” she says, as opposed to wanting to be an actor. She had already auditioned for another gig though, a short Irish film called 34A, “about girls who wanted to have big boobs.” The Harry Potter experience has undoubtedly changed the course of her life. The 22-year-old from Termonfeckin in Louth now speaks with an LA lilt and the kind of measured detachment that young actors exhibit.

When she reflects on it now, she can talk with some perspective about her life changing instantly. “I got a lot of independence,” she begins, mentioning how school became tutoring in England. “At 16 I was living by myself and getting up and going to work and all that, and doing school. So there was that juggling of normal life and adult life, like working in the real world.” Her friends didn’t change, her family didn’t either, but people were “more interested in me, I suppose . . . I think the biggest change was personally, I had to come out of myself.” She wasn’t too great at being herself. Interviews were a disaster, she’d just sit there, scared and answer “yes?” “I didn’t know how to ‘be’. It really scared me.”

Talking to actors on set, especially the older ones such as Alan Rickman, was intimidating. But she forced herself to come out of herself, recognising that unless she got good at existing in that context, she’d miss some of the best experiences related to it. She says she was like a little mouse, afraid of everything, “so yeah, it forced me to grow up quicker.”

It sounds like quite the ordeal. It’s hard to imagine a quiet teenage girl away from home, friends, family, thrust into a sort of superstardom. But the challenge was also a blessing, she says. “If I hadn’t gone through that, I probably would have gone through school and gone through college, but I still would have struggled with confidence.”

Acting has taught her that confidence is about putting yourself out there, that when no one else believes in you, you draw resolve from a well within. She thinks her insecurity comes from a collage of things, “personality” being one. “I have two sisters and a brother, and everyone was good at what they did, was very competitive, so yeah, I always felt that I had to try hard to make people like me or impress me. That was just a thing I had from childhood.” And with that insecurity, “it’s not like it switches off when you get something. You think, when I succeed at this exam or when I get into this college or when I get a boyfriend, then I’ll be confident, then I’ll be happy. But you’re never. You’re always searching for the next thing, and you’re always afraid that someone’s going to pull the rug out from under you, and you’ll be just . . . you’ll be back at square one.”

Sony Pictures Classics has released the 2-minute official trailer for Kill Your Darlings. The film, which stars Daniel Radcliffe as poet Allen Ginsberg. The film will be shown at various film festivals and will have a limited US release starting October 18th.

It has long been rumored that Emma Watson would be starring in Francesca Gregorini’s Your Voice in My Head. Tonight, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the casting saying:

Emma Watson has signed to star in Your Voice in My Head, the adaptation of the Emma Forrest memoir that Francesca Gregorini will direct. Academy Award nominee Alison Owen, a producer on the upcoming Saving Mr. Banks, and Benaroya Pictures’ Michael Benaroya, whose credits include Lawless and Margin Call, will produce the drama[.]

Watson was loosely attached to the project a few years ago when it was set up at Warner Bros. with Harry Potter director David Yates. Yates left in 2012 and Watson followed soon after, with Emily Blunt next being associated with the project.

The project moved out of Warners and is now on the independent track. And Watson is back with Gregorini, the daughter of famed Bond girl Barbara Bach, who co-helmed the Rooney Mara coming-of-age drama Tanner Hall.

The film, originally a memoir by Emma Forrest (who also wrote the film script,) tells the story of a young woman living the fast life in New York who attempts suicide before being saved by a selfless psychiatrist who is hiding the fact he is dying of cancer.

The production starts filming in New York on November 4th.
