At the recent National Movie Awards, actress Emma Watson made very brief comments to reporters on the red carpet regarding the delay of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” In this video via YouTube, Emma can be heard saying what while she feels they have done the right thing for the movie, she also appeared sympathetic as she noted it was terrible that fans don’t get an installment in the series this year and that the suspense will make it even better once we get to see it. Emma has also updated her blog at her official website noting how much fun she had at the movie awards. You can see photos of Emma at the event here in our image galleries, new photos at her official site taken by her father, and additional videos of Emma at the awards ceremony via our Order parter Emma-Watson.net.

She looked beautiful. I’ m so glad she had such a great time and she was a doll for being so good to the fans. She’s always so positive about things including the movie date change. She said in another interview that good things come to those that wait. She seems to think HBP is that good so I’ll trust her on that one. She is the cutest. I loved her mannerisms at the award presentation. Adorable.
It has to be akward for the actors when the studio makes decisions like that and upset the fans because no matter what the actors have to act like they agree with the decision regardless of whether they really do or not, but at the same time they also have to appear to sympathize with the fans. I actually feel sort of bad for them because the actors have to go to events and stuff so they can’t really escape the questions/comments about the delay while the a-holes who actually made the decision get to sit up in their cushy offices, hide, and sometimes have their PR people make a statement for them.
She’s just saying what they told her to say. They want to time it for the awards, like the oscars or something. Oh doesn’t she look tired, check out her eyes. I hope they aren’t forcing drugs on her or something to keep her perky at the endless appointments that come with celebrity.
Yeah, I think her dress is beautiful. This is going to sound really strange, but her eyebrows look really dark. They don’t seem to match her hair color at all. Is that intentional…? I agree with bella vita. The actors and actresses are out there among the public and have the spotlight thrust upon them 24/7, while the people making the decisions are pretty much nameless and faceless. I feel bad for Dan, Emma, Rupert and company—especially Dan, since he’s in the states and I have a feeling we’re a bit more, er, rabid about the movie stuff than our overseas counterparts.
That’s weird that she would say they did the right thing for the film. I thought the film was already finished. She makes it sound like they are delaying the film to make it better. A slip maybe? Or perhaps just an odd choice of phrasing.
“Time it for the awards”? But then the November release would have been better! Closer to the actual air date of the award shows means a more recent viewing of the movie and a greater likelihood of being remembered for nominations! And the dress puts me in mind of Empress Josephine, who of course was an icon of fashion in her day.
I think the dress is okay…But anyways, I still don’t agree with her saying it’s the right thing for the film. But that’s just me being a fan. And anyways, all the actors have to or will say that. So I was expecting her answer. Sighs that’s okay, I love Emma.
"Yeh're goin' ter win," Hagrid growled, patting Harry's shoulder again, so that Harry actually felt himself sink a couple of inches into the soft ground. "I know it. I can feel it. [i]Yeh're goin' ter win, Harry."[/i]
first to comment! her dress is kinda weird though…
