Daniel Radcliffe CBS Interview ***MUST SEE***

What a fantastic, engaging interview. Dan is so incredibly intelligent, articulate, thoughtful, humble, and (in my opinion) gorgeous. When he speaks, I feel strongly inclined to agree with everything he says, just because of how well spoken he is. I'm actually around the same age as him, and can honestly say, in my experience of people in my age group, that it's rare to come across someone so articulate, cultured, and well-mannered as he is.

Message from Emma

Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) posted a message on her official website She is due to begin filming her role as Sam in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" sometime this summer.

7 March 2011

Hi everyone

As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I've had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.

I've decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter (the last one comes out this summer) and to focus on my other professional and acting projects. I will still be working towards my degree... it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought : )

Hope you are all well! Thank you for all your continuing support.

Emma xx
