Harry Potter’s Rupert Grint Contracts Swine Flu
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies
No magical powers or potions could prevent Rupert Grint from getting sick.
During the July 4th holiday, a rep for the Harry Potter said Grint had contracted the Influenza A (H1N1) virus - otherwise known as the swine flu - while filming the latest installment. Although the 20-year-old was forced to miss several days work, no production time on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was lost because of his absence.
“He has now recovered and is looking forward to joining his fellow cast members at the junket and premieres this week and will then return to filming directly afterwards,” a statement read.
Grint, who was not deemed to be contagious, is expected to join his co-stars this Tuesday when the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince gets its red carpet debut in London. The film then opens stateside on Wednesday, July 15.

Emma Watson Grows Into Fashionista Image with Elle Cover
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Clothing, Style, Photos
As Harry Potter starlet Emma Watson fronts Burberry and increasingly becomes best buds with Karl Lagerfeld, it’s becoming more apparent that she’s pretty serious about that fashion career. The August edition of British Elle further cements her path, and holy Coco Chanel, does she look gorgeous!
Before she buckles down that path, however, she might take a slight detour and finish school: “I’m so excited. Living in London, it’s hard to be anonymous. But hopefully, on some campus somewhere, I’ll fade into the background a bit.”

Emma Watson Fronts Burberry’s Fall/Winter ‘09 Campaign
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Clothing, Fashion Police, Style, Photos
While Miley Cyrus convinces Max Azria to do a line for Wal-Mart, Emma Watson is receiving praise in the fashion world for her work in Burberry’s Fall/Winter ‘09 campaign.
Not unlike the British fashion house’s ad campaigns in the past, the Harry Potter starlet shows off signature Burberry bags and trench coats alongside models Tom Guinness Taylor and Charlie France (who surprisingly do a great job at making her look much older than 19).
As I am a fan of hers, I’m clearly inclined to give her a thumbs-up. After all, she’s been a favorite of Karl Lagerfeld for some time. That’s basically a golden pass for approval in the fashion world, no?
More pictures after the jump!

Will Emma Watson Give Up Acting?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies
Come 2011, Emma Watson will have starred in 8 successful Harry Potter films and generated enough money to dabble in any indie project she likes. But will we ever see the actress in a nude Broadway performance a la Daniel Radcliffe?
In a recent interview, the college bound 18-year-old admitted she was uncertain where her future would take her. Since Emma never really had thoughts about getting into acting in the first place (she was only nine when they found her “out of nowhere”), she’s not sure if the profession is something she’ll eventually stick with. “Just because this has happened to me doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right thing,” Watson said. “I’ve come from a background of lawyers and academics. We didn’t watch films in our household.”
So what’s up next for the Tale of Despereaux star? School. Although she won’t be joining Daniel on a NY stage anytime soon, Watson could still be making an extended trip to the States. It’s believed that Emma - who was seen touring Harvard a few months back - may be attending an American university in Fall 2009.

While Daniel Radcliffe has been working to separate himself from his popular boy wizard character, another Harry Potter star has been doing some maturing of her own.

Harry Potter Lawsuit Brings Writer to Tears
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Breaking News
Steven Vander Ark, Harry Potter fan, cried on the witness stand today as he talked about the current lawsuit between his publishers - RDR Books - and J.K. Rowling.
The lawsuit stems from Ark’s deal with RDR to publish a Harry Potter Lexicon, based on a highly successful site created by Ark himself. Rowling’s suit claims the work infringes upon her own copyright.
Just yesterday, Potter author J.K. Rowling stated that she’s been creatively stopped by the suit, claiming she can no longer work on her book projects due to stress created by the case. Today, Ark got emotional when asked how his relationship with other Potter fans has been affected by the case. “It’s been difficult because there has been a lot of criticism, obviously, and that was never the intention,” Ark said in court. “This has been an important part of my life for the last nine years or so.”

J.K. Rowling’s Testimony
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Breaking News
J. K. Rowling, arguably one of the most successful writers ever to walk the Earth, recently took the stand against Steve Vander Ark to argue about Harry Potter, arguably one of the most successful series of books ever penned. A lot of people have made a lot of money off of Harry Potter - including these two. So what could they possibly be arguing about?
Ark signed a deal with RDR Books to publish a reference manual dubbed “The Harry Potter Lexicon,” based on the Web site of the same name. And boy, is Rowling pissed about it. The novelist said she’s had to cease working on her new book due to stress, and that the problems of this lawsuit (and there is one, by the way) have “decimated my creative work over the past month.”

Are Hermione and Harry Potter a Real-Life Couple?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Hook-ups, Child Stars, Rumors
Who knew Hermione was the British version of Paris Hilton?
Although we are used to the ever-changing lives of our American celebrities, we haven’t really become accustomed to following the rituals of their U.K. counterparts. Well, when the gossip concerns one of the famous Harry Potter stars, it’s really hard to look away.
Just last week, Emma Watson was criticized in the press for supposedly associating herself with 27-year-old rocker Johnny Borrell. (Wondering who he is? He’s the lead singer of a band called Razorlight.) Although the 17-year-old actress denied dating the musician, many were hoping she would stay away from the “hell-raiser”.
One week later, Hermione Granger has now been linked to a new fella: Daniel Radcliffe. The 17-year-old actor (someone her age!) was reportedly spotted with his co-star on a Valentine’s date, of all things. After leaving a London pub, they then supposedly left in the direction of Radcliffe’s home.
Ooh, I like British gossip!
