Emma also describes exactly how she prepared for the role: By doing what a lot of Americans do every day!

”I just watched a ton of reality TV,” she says. ”I was doing an English course [at Brown University]. So I would go from reading Virginia Woolf to [watching] Kim Kardashian. I kind of loved it, this mix of super-high and super-low culture. I think it was a nice balance.’

Merlin’s Pants!

In Harry Potter and the Heathly Hallows, “Merlin’s Pants!” was used repeatedly. This got people thinking. Did Merlin even have pants?

Question answered.

Ron and Hermione were right. Merlin had pants.
Oh and I can’t stop myself so… OHMYASDFGHJKL; THIS IS THE CUTEST PICTURE I’VE EVER SEEN.

Oh, and here is a fanmade drawing by Spambi (deviantart) of Harry with Merlin’s Pants:

And there we go.

HP Video Games

Warner Bros. Interactive announced today that they are creating a new Harry Potter video game for the Xbox Kinect.

For those who don’t know, the Xbox Kinect is a video game system that enables the player to control the characters on the screen by moving their body- almost like a mirror. The new HP game will enable players to become fully immersed in the Hogwarts experience.

Oh My Merlin

Oh My Merlin

I just realized that one day they will die. I don’t know what I’ll do with my life once that day comes, it’ll be like the seventh book and eighth movie all over again. Let’s all take a moment to think about this. When this happens it will be over, actually over! We should go wrap them all in bubble wrap to protect them!

Olympic Quidditch Team Jerseys now available!

Official Team France jersey

I’m sure you’re all familiar with Muggle Quidditch by now. And guess what? Exhibition matches will be taking place at the 2012 Summer Olympic Torch Ceremony in Oxford, London this July. Four countries are going to be represented, Team USA, Team France, Team Australia, and (OF COURSE!) Team UK.

Now, how cool would it be to support your country, the International Quidditch Association (IQA), AND get an awesome jersey? Wait, did I mention that these are the first completely sublimated jerseys ever made for Quidditch?

Muggle Net:

Designed by the IQA and manufactured by Quiyk, the Team Jersey is the first completely sublimated jersey made for the sport of Quidditch. Constructed with all new ultra-light Quiyk fabric (which is 18% lighter than old Quiyk fabric), this uniform has all the other features you’d expect from a Quiyk product. Make sure you’re repping your favorite country this summer so you can show those muggles what a real sport is.

Okay, is it just me, or is this AWESOME? I know I’ll be begging my mom for a USA jersey. And the money will definitely be worth it. Do you want to purchase a jersey for your favorite sport ever? There are different options, you can get a normal jersey, a jersey with your favorite player’s name and number, or a jersey with your own custom name and number.

MAKE SURE YOU ORDER ASAP TO GET YOUR JERSEY BEFORE THE OLYMPICS START ON JULY 27TH!

Royal Puppy named for Hogwarts House

According to The Times of India, the Queen of England has named one of the puppies of her most recent breed after a Hogwarts house.

[Gryffindor's] name was chosen by the Queen who also personally names all of the puppies currently being bred at Sandringham Estate, the Queen’s country retreat in Norfolk. 

The kennels, established by Edward VII in 1879 to house 100 dogs, are now home to some 20 gundogs, labradors and cocker spaniels of variety of ages, the Daily Telegraph reported.

A Twitter Conversation

If you follow actors on Twitter, you may get tickled when you see Twitter conversations between actors, just like I do.  Someone decided to put it into a cute little script art and thus it must be posted.
