A new rumor has surfaced online stating that the first teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II may be released on January 24th!  This does follow the usual release of trailers as it is about six months before the film will be released.  But remember, this is a rumor until WB confirms it, but something to look forward to nonetheless!

Thanks Mugglenet!

The Guardian has posted a new interview with Clemence Poesy, who plays Fleur Delacour in the Harry Potter films. In the new interview she briefly discusses the series. (p.s. they need to get their facts straight regarding the tasks in Goblet of Fire, ha ha)  She also talks about her life at home and other films she has been in.

Presumably, after learning to scuba dive for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (in which her character endured an extended underwater swimming race in order to retrieve a golden dragon egg), she is used to suffering for her art. Does she feel bereft now that the Harry Potter franchise has come to an end? “Not really. I was just in one film and then I came back for the last one. To me, it was simply one of the experiences I’ve had. That was it. It was fun, but it’s not as if it is a big part of me.” Still, she keeps in touch with Emma Watson and sees her occasionally on the front row at fashion shows – Poésy is something of a muse to designers including Karl Lagerfeld and Balenciaga’s Nicolas Ghesquière. “Emma’s a sweet young woman and very bright,” says Poésy, as though talking fondly about a particularly sprightly grandchild. “I like Emma’s new haircut. It’s very Jean Seberg.”
