Emma Watson dazzles at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Premiere!

Who would have imagined that those three adorable kids who started filming the Harry Potter movies in 2001 would be so grown up today?? Emma Watson not only looks stunning but has enrolled into Brown University and has managed to stay out of the trouble that has plagued many young actresses.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson didn’t let the rain get them down. All three attended the highly anticipated premiere of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince at the Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square earlier today.

I was surprised Rupert attended since it was made public he was suffering from a case of the swine flu recently!

“It was quite scary when I first found out I had swine flu,” Rupert said at a press conference yesterday, according to The Daily Telegraph.“I thought: ‘Am I going to die?’ But it was just like any other flu really.”

“I had a sore throat and I went to bed for a few days.”

I’m so glad to see he is doing better. Four people have died from the A(H1N1) virus and they have nearly 7500 cases reported.

Also in attendance were Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Jim Broadbent, Bonnie Wright, Matthew Lewis and Tom Felton. Even Harry Potter author whom without her we’d not have any of this, JK Rowling!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince opens in U.S. theaters July 15th!!!!

A softcover copy of the first Harry Potter book has sold for just over $19,000, according to a Dallas auction house.

“Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” was one of only 200 copies from the first printing issued with illustrated wrappers by London publisher Bloomsbury.

If you haven’t read the Harry Potter books, as cliche’ as it sounds, they are leaps and bounds better than the movies although they are great movies nonetheless. What’s ironic is that I’ve been toying with the idea of reading the books once more. It doesn’t surprise me that this book was able to generate such a high bid at auction, being that this series of books will no doubt surpass generations of readers much like The Lord of the Rings series has trancended generations as well.

The winning bid of $19,120 was nearly double the previous record for a softcover Harry Potter book, Heritage Auction Galleries says.
