Thanks very much to Claire over at Fiction to Film for selecting us as Site of the Month (which will be very funny when you see who our site of the month is)!
“A hearty and well deserving congratulations to Megan over at Magical Menagerie. She is FTF’s February Site of the Month. Is there really a reason to explain why? Besides updating unbelievably fast and providing the best info to her visitors, she’s got a great site to which her devotion is clear. Need some Harry Potter news? Check out Magical Menagerie!”
The Daily Mail has a new article with a bunch of new photos of Emma in her People Tree Collection along with an interview. View the photos below!
You’ve done acting, modelling, and now you’re designing. Is this the future for Emma Watson?
Oh, I don’t have any plans to be a designer. I’m doing this range because I really care about fair-trade and ethical fashion. I’m so pleased that I got involved, but I don’t want to take all the credit for being the designer because I haven’t trained as a designer or even gone to art college – in fact, I had no idea about the amount of work involved at the outset!
You are something of a fashionista, but were you completely new to fair-trade fashion?
The first time I heard about fair trade was during a geography coursework project, and I remember thinking, ‘Why isn’t everything fair trade?’ Everyone knows about fair-trade bananas and coffee, but of course anything can be fair trade. Fair-trade fashion costs a bit more but allows those who make it to earn a decent living; to be able to take care of their families and live with dignity.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day The Poetry Archive have a number of poems narrated by famous actors; the recordings will be released next week. A couple Potter stars have participated:
If you get the Warner Brothers Newsletter you will have already seen their exclusive interview with Nicholas Hooper. Nicholas is up for a Grammy for his work on the Half-Blood Prince soundtrack. If not read below and click here for the full interview!
When do you make the final recording for the film – do you do it in segments or while the raw film is playing?
The scoring sessions are time to be at the end of the post production period although the film will probably still be going through some changes, even at that point. We work to the latest cut and record the music scene by scene. Often we will record the orchestra section by section. For example: 1. All the strings. 2. All the brass excluding the horns (which have a different color) 3. Then the horns etc. etc., until everyone has played. Normally percussion, choir and soloists would be recorded at a different session in the evening.
Emma Watson’s clothing line for People Tree, has launched online a few days earlier than expected! You can see all the girls fashions here and guys here! Below are a few pieces:
