Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint & Emma Watson on Empire magazine list

Originally posted from http://harrypotterupdate.multiply.com/journal/ The Daily Potter.

Actors Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson
have made Empire magazine's 20 Stars Who Weren't Even Born When Empire Started list.
Dan came in at number one;
Rupert at number ten;
and Emma at nineteen.

As to why the trio were chosen, Empire said:

Quote:

1. Daniel Radcliffe You know him from: A little series called Harry Potter; December Boys. Why's he good? Because he brought one of the world's most popular characters to life over five movies (to date) and has largely been acclaimed for his efforts. Will he have an adult career? Well, if he doesn't he'll still never have to worry about money, which is something, but the endlessly curious Radcliffe has barely gotten started on an adult career. His decisions outside of Potter - TV drama like My Boy Jack, his stage turn in Equus - suggest that he's not one to be typecast, and will be pushing boundaries for some time to come.

Quote:

10. Rupert Grint You know him from: Driving Lessons. And there was that little role in Harry Potter. Why's he good? He's supported Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter through thick and thin, and has a likable everyman quality which should allow him to avoid typecasting. Will he have an adult career? Well, so far out of the HP triumvirate Grint has the most solo-projects under his belt. That said, he is ginger, and anti-redhead sentiment remains the last socially acceptable prejudice, so he'll have to keep working at it.

Quote:

19. Emma Watson You know her from: HP Alumnus, Ballet Shoes. Why's she good? Having grown up on the big screen as struggling muggle-born Hermione Granger, Watson has shouldered immense pressure to come out smelling of roses. Now she has started to make a niche for herself outside of the franchise with a leaning towards costume dramas and a rumoured leading role in Napoleon and Betsy. Will she have an adult career? Will she want one? Judging by her sickeningly good exam results and place at Cambridge, she may crave something a bit more challenging.

Help Rupert Grint's Cherrybomb make it into theatres

Rupert Grint's latest film Cherrybomb needs to secure a distributor in order for the film to be shown in theatres. SnitchSeeker spoken with a rep for Little Film Company, which is working hard to get the film theatrical distribution :

Harry Potter stars to ‘age’ with Benjamin Button technology for final film

Harry Potter stars to ‘age’ with Benjamin Button technology for final film
Repost from http://harrypotterupdate.multiply.com/ The Daily Potter

LONDON - Young actors of the Harry Potter series will have their age digitally advanced for the final film using the same technology as in ‘The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button’.

Producer David Heyman and director David Yates revealed they had previously considered swapping Daniel Radcliffe, 19, Emma Watson, 19, and Rupert Grint, 20, for older actors.

But the pair dropped the idea after watching the effects of the Academy Award winning technology in the film starring Brad Pitt as Benjamin Button.

The duo have now decided to turn to the same special effects for the epilogue at the end of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part Two, which takes place 19 years later when the teen wizards are in their late 30s.

“We were looking at different ways of doing it, other actors and so on,” the Daily Express quoted Heyman as saying.

“And then we saw The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and that ageing technology so I think we’ll try that because I’d feel terrible about having other people take those parts at the last gasp,” he added. (ANI)
