Inquirer.net has some new interviews with Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe where they discuss their Christmas traditions.

“We have a proper log wood fire in my living room that really gets me in the Christmas mood,” “Harry Potter” star Emma Watson said in our chat in London. “And we have mince pies. That’s a very English thing. If you’ve never tried one, mince pies are absolutely delicious. You must have a mince pie.”

Emma added: “We always watch really good Christmas-y films by Richard Curtis like ‘Love Actually,’ ‘Bridget Jones’ and ‘Notting Hill’ or old BBC dramas like ‘Pride and Prejudice.’ I always play Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby’s Christmas album which is great … I curl up with my cats. I’m a cat person.”

Emma observes these traditions at her own place in London which she painted white. “My life is so chaotic and mad, so everything in my apartment is white,” she explained. After the holidays, she goes back to her studies at Brown University and in her dorm where “everything is blue and other calm colors.”

Rupert Grint confessed that he’s a serial shopping procrastinator: “I usually do the shopping at the last minute.” Otherwise, Rupert claims that it’s a pretty conventional Christmas in the Grint household. “We usually have a routine and we’ve stuck to that for the whole of my life,” said the carrot-haired actor who told us they have miniature pet animals at home. “I have a massive family. We just stay at home. It’s good to get everyone together. It’s a good time.”

In contrast, Daniel Radcliffe has a smaller gathering. “The whole family—it’s only a small group of us, really—get together and that’s it,” said the actor who’s doing musical theater on Broadway next year. “I’m always at home for Christmas. My only holiday wish this time is that England goes to Australia and win The Ashes (a cricket series). I’ll be staying up late quite a lot more to hopefully watch them win.”

Today there is a small article online as well as photos from Matthew Lewis, Tom Felton, Jessie Cave, Alfie Enoch and Natalia Tena’s appearance at the Magic Christmas convention in Paris. You can see the photos here and here and a short translation of the article below.  Photos of just Matthew at the event may be seen here!

The weekend of 18 and 19 December 2010 (inclusive), was wonderful except the mess on the organization procedure the day of 18 December 2010
The day began with a long wait in the cold in 8 hours and during this one hour and fifteen minutes, and then one or two tails to get the media pass and autographs, and check your coat to leave my backpack and my coat. 

I climb upstairs and I agree with the stands, I quickly look at what they offer (a booth to get personalized jewelry, shoes and sweatshirt fashion HP’s booth in the park in Florida and stay at sea The Daily Prophet, Obscurus Press, the Pensieve HP, Spotlight Events to buy keyrings, badges, t-shirts, autographs, carriers and / or additional photoshoots, a stand up and stand Cosplay).

The autograph sessions and photo shoots begin to everybody, I pass a No. 27 was either the 7th Group.

So I begin with an autograph session with Mister Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), a very nice boy, he asked me if I was okay and my name, besides I beugué on spelling of my name: p It was very casual (dress).

Then I’m heading in the queue for the photoshoot with Mister Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) where I sympathize with two girls (I’m going to the cuckoo and Mr. C., they will recognize ), A very nice boy really, who does not hesitate to “stick” near you Very far from the image of the wicked and cowardly Draco, really cool guys like.

Then comes the turn of Miss Natalia Tena (Nymphadora Tonks), which is funny, kind, makes you a kiss, appears and asks you if you’re okay (she speaks a little French), really great! Elle était habillée avec son style si particulier, un peu à la Tonks (Non, je rigole …) She was dressed in his particular style, a bit like Tonks (No, just kidding …)

I returned to the autograph session with Miss Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown), a very nice girl, she was dressed as in the sixth film, a little reserved in appearance, but very endearing, not as we want to Lavender type

Unfortunately, Mister Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley) could not be present because of the snow, his plane has been deleted

I also wanted to go see the French voices, but because of the organization, they were completely behind

In the afternoon, there was the game of questions and answers, everybody played along and answered all the questions, with a few giggles in more

Then 18 hours or so, I went to the hotel to change clothes and put on my prom dress (it was more a party dress), the evening started at 9:00 p.m. with the photoshoot of the Orders of Merlin with all guests (I remember I had a pass Sorcerer) and also had a special moment with the guests (Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, Jessie Cave, Natalia Tena and Alfie Enoch who was also there for the evening, but not during the day because of exams). There were types of music clubs, and some songs of the fourth movie genre with The Story Continues, Potter Waltz, where some people (mostly girls together) have danced the waltz and went 2 times Do The Hyppogriff where we danced to the beat of the Weird Sisters. La soirée s’est terminée à minuit, comme Cendrillon The evening ended at midnight, like Cinderella

procedure the day of 19 December 2010
I arrived at about 9 o’clock, I started with the photoshoot with Matthew Lewis. D’ailleurs, très mauvais point pour la personne qui m’a envoyé boulet Moreover, very bad thing for the person who sent me ball but ultimately, I managed not to drop the piece, I had my picture with Matthew And it was just one with the photoshoot with Alfie Enoch, a boy really cool, still trying to laugh
Then in late morning, I went to shoot with Jessie Cave, who puts his arm around your waist for you to be right next to her.

Moreover, be called by the way, all the guests raised their arms and went around your waist for you to be very close to them

And in the afternoon, during the play of questions and answers, I went to queue to get my autograph Natalia Tena, who wrote a “nice” sentence in French (Really) the portion Matthew speaks a little French and knows very well “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”, he came once 10 years ago in Paris.
