Today Entertainment Weekly has released a new poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. The poster features Harry, Ron and Hermione in the foreground and the Battle of Hogwarts in the background.
As we posted back in April, the French premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II will be taking place in Paris on July 12th, the day after the NYC premiere. Rupert-Grint.us have emailed this morning to let us know that Rupert Grint will not be in attendance at the premiere.
Evanna Lynch confirmed on her twitter this past weekend that she will be attending the French premiere, and subsequently will probably not be at the USA premiere because it clashes with the French..
UPDATE: Oliver Phelps also confirmed that he, and James, I assume, will be in attendance at the French premiere.
VOGUE have released Emma’s interview on their website as well as clear shots of her photohsoot. In the interview she talks about life, Harry Potter, her interests and more! The photoshoot images may be seen in the gallery and the article read here. A small excerpt may be read below:
She talks in fighting metaphors. “I have felt for the last ten years I have had this battle; I’ve been fighting so hard to have an education. It’s been this uphill struggle,” she says, clenching her hands as she speaks. “I was Warner Bros.’ pain in the butt. I was their scheduling conflict. I was the one who made life difficult.” Finally, Emma took the brave step of announcing that she would not renew her contract for the last two films unless changes were made to accommodate her desire to go to university. Warner Bros. agreed to do everything humanly possible, and, she says, “I just realized at one point that I can’t fight everything. I have to move in the direction of it—and go with it.”
But being the perfectionist she is, Emma couldn’t just “go with it.” Once she had agreed to commit herself to four more years, “I decided I would do it well.” The change became apparent in all areas of her life. Critics noticed a new energy to her acting. “As the role of Hermione became more interesting,” says David Yates, the director of the last four Potter films, “Emma became more engaged. She is an incredibly intuitive and instinctive actor. She can dig deep to find an emotion and bring it to the scene.” The Deathly Hallows parts one and two are the darkest of all the Potter movies, the innocence of the previous films replaced by a grim meditation on the nature of terror. The more complex material in the finale allowed Emma to stretch her wings. But, insists Yates, “she hasn’t had a role yet to show how she can really shine. There is a very serious and interesting acting brain in there that will surprise everybody.”
As I posted a while ago, Daniel Radcliffe and the cast of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying performed on tonight’s Tony Awards. A video of the performance has now surfaced online for those of you that missed it or do not get CBS. For those of you on the West Coast they performed around 8:15pm.
Today we have another new clip from the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Ultimate Editions which will be released this coming Tuesday the 14th of June. You can pre-order them at the following links:
