It's birthday celebrations for Harry Potter's leading lady Emma Watson who turns 23 today! Miss Watson has come a long way since the bushy brown-haired Hermione Granger and we've seen her sport many different looks over the years. Today at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards she looked elegant and glamorous, as always, whilst snapping up the Trailblazer Award. To celebrate her 23rd birthday, we're taking a look through the archives of all Ms. Watson's beauty looks. Hip hip hooray!
Emma Watson is on the cover of US Glamour's October issue, and inside the pages of the glossy, she tackles topics including dating in the spotlight and her love for Girls creator Lena Dunham. Emma, now 22, is looking to move past the Harry Potter series she's best known for by adding more grown-up roles to her repertoire. Following a part in last year's critically acclaimed My Week With Marilyn, Emma will star in the upcoming The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival later this week. Here are some highlights from Emma's interview in Glamour:

James and Oliver Phelps, known for bringing twins Fred and George Weasley to the big screen in the Harry Potter films, are currently in Sydney for the launch of Harry Potter: The Exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum. Last week they attended the media preview and opening night gala, but their time Down Under isn’t completely filled with Harry Potter commitments. Tomorrow they’ll go skydiving for a great cause, to raise money for cancer research, and we found out it’s not the first time they’ve jumped out of a plane. We chatted to the brothers this morning to talk Harry Potter memories, Diving for Harry and their Sydney highlight so far.
What’s it like for you to see all the Harry Potter props away from the movie set?
James: It’s like a walk down memory lane, because you walk by and you see props and costumes that you forgot about, but then you remember all the fun times you had whilst you were filming scenes with them.
What’s your favourite thing to see in the exhibition?
James: I think it’s the Deathly Hallows, to be honest with you. It’s the first place in the world that they’ve been altogether as one. When we noticed that, that was really cool. Also because it’s not that they’re [presented] in a way that one thing is bigger than the other. If you aren’t paying attention you’d probably miss it.
Harry Potter: The Exhibition opens at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney on Saturday, and today media were invited to preview the exhibition. Special guests James and Oliver Phelps, who played Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter films, were on hand for the event, where they answered questions in front of the Gryffindor uniforms they wore and posed for photos inside a replica of Hagrid’s Hut. The actor brothers, who have gone back to their natural brown hair instead of the red they sported for the movies, said people who came to the Sydney exhibition would be in for a treat as it’s the first time the Deathly Hallows have been on display following the DVD and Blu-ray release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II (which you can win with extra merchandise in our competition). Earlier in the year, the Powerhouse Museum brought out Matthew Lewis for a smaller launch of the exhibition, which features props and costumes from the beloved film franchise.
Millions of Harry Potter fans flocked to the cinema in July to watch the final, emotional instalment of the film franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. And we’re guessing that lots of those fans will want to make sure they own Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II when it’s released on DVD on November 16. To get you excited, we’ve got an exclusive clip from the DVD in which Warwick Davis (the actor behind Professor Flitwick and Griphook) talks us through the film’s opening scene, where Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Griphook try to use each other to get what they want. The bottom line, according to Warwick? “You should never trust a goblin.” Watch below!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II is released on DVD and Blu-ray on Nov. 16.
After waiting a decade, one of our favourite couples of the Harry Potter series, Ron and Hermione, finally kissed on the big screen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. But for the actors who played the well-loved characters, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, it was a bit awkward to kiss after working together since they were kids. When the DVD for the final film is released later this year, there will be a featurette on the long-awaited lip-lock that gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Ron and Hermione's big moment. See Rupert and Emma film the kissing scene now!
