From Starpulse –
“Harry Potter” star Emma Watson is single again after reportedly splitting from her longterm boyfriend. The British actress, 19, has been dating 28-year-old financier Jay Barrymore since 2008, but is now said to have ended the relationship just months after she moved to the U.S. to study at Brown University, Rhode Island. A source tells British newspaper the Mail on Sunday, “Emma and Jay were in trouble for months and with Emma at Brown University in America, the transatlantic gap proved too much for their relationship to survive.”

Posterwire – Why is there a difference between the two pieces of Potter key art? Since the IMAX version of the poster art appeared online before the final Harry Potter one-sheet, we can only speculate that Warner Bros. gave the IMAX ad group an earlier “comp” version of the artwork prior to being finalized for the studio’s own press run.
There are other subtle differences between the two: the domestic one-sheet version of Herminoe Granger features a less flowing hair style, probably because her hair in the IMAX version blocks more of actor Matt Lewis (as Neville Longbottom) standing behind Emma Watson.

“I really want anonymity.”
Emma Watson reveals she actually would prefer to not be ‘that girl from Harry Potter’ the minute she walks into a room….in the new Teen Vogue
“Harry Potter” actress Emma Watson, 19, is on the cover of Teen Vogue‘s August issue. She looks all grown up, posing in old school Britastic clothing in the English countryside. Despite being famous since she was 10, Emma isn’t really a limelight lover. She is going to college and plans to do it up normal-person style. She’s majoring in English and will even be living with roommates. We understood why she is not all about being famous after she said so many ‘razzi showed up to her 18th birthday that she couldn’t get out the door. She added, “They laid down on the pavement and took pictures up my skirt.” Ugh, talk about barely legal. Check out some other quotes, after the jump. [Teen Vogue]
On acting:
“There’s not, like, a burning passion in me…I have to act and I don’t care what I do. Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermione—like, I felt that it was life or death—I don’t want to act again.” [Wait!Theres Tons More…]

Daily Mail – The clothes were modest and showed off nothing that would shock young Harry Potter fans – as per instructions.

Hollywood.com – Daniel Radcliffe may be getting nude on Broadway, but his Harry Potter BFF apparently has other plans.
Emma Watson may be giving up her room and board at Hogwart’s for a spot at Harvard University. The actress was spied touring the Harvard campus, visiting the Admissions Office and taking a peek at Quincy dormitory. Prior to the visit, Watson (AKA Hermione Granger) told the UK Daily Telegraph, “I’ve applied to a few universities for next year, including several American ones. If I do go there, I will do a liberal arts degree, but if I stay in the UK I’ll do English literature.”
There’s been speculation over the past several weeks that Watson may be applying to Harvard, and her presence on campus may reinforce these claims. She was spotted at the Ivy League mainstay by student Brian P. Hill, who was so flustered by the brush with fame saying, “I actually called my mom; I was so distraught,” he told the Harvard Crimson. “It was all I could think about for the entire morning.”
The Dean of Admissions William R. Fitzsimmons declined to comment, saying he does not discuss individual cases. Watson herself gave away little tof her plans, saying she was “just visiting.”
But if she does attend, she wouldn’t be the first to successfully tackle Hollywood and Harvard. She’d follow in the footsteps of Natalie Portman and Mira Sorvino. Jodie Foster, of course, was a Yale girl.

Oh to be rich and famous. And only 18. Emma Watson, one of the young stars of the Harry Potter movie franchise, has just signed a $6 million deal to be the new face of Chanel, replacing Keira Knightley – either because she’s aging away at 23, or she’s become so thin that her form no longer shows up on television screens. Problematic either way.
The 18-year-old actress has signed a two-year contract worth £3million with the French fashion house to promote the brand [Chanel fragrance Coco Mademoiselle.]. Miss Watson, who became a household name in the films based on JK Rowling’s books, has signed up with leading model agency Storm, which is thought to have secured her first major campaign.
