Emma Watson's Interview in Moviefone
No ... I mean, to me it was always obvious that their relationship was purely friends. It always felt to me that she was very mothering towards him. It just wouldn't be right. And I think that Ron and Hermione are so perfect for each other that I'm not disappointed. [Laughs] It's meant to be.
It's so rewarding to be a part of -- I mean, this may just apply to 'Despereaux,' I don't know -- but it's incredible to be a character that is being created from animation, and to be involved in that way, and then go sit down in a theater and see something that is almost a complete surprise to you, in the way that it looks and ... it was amazing going to see it. I was just so happy with it -- I'm proud of it. To do so little and to produce something so amazing is quite incredible. It's very liberating, in a way, not to be worrying about your appearance, and just focusing on the voice.

Important Article relating HBP on December 16, 2008
"In the sixth book Jo talks about the Death Eaters attacking, kidnapping and striking terror into communities and she plays that idea backstage in the book," explained Yates. "You read about it but you don't experience it. We wanted to bring that experience to the fore for the audience so they kind-of felt what it was like and they could actually see what the Death Eaters were doing."
This was illustrated in two scenes glimpsed in the recent trailer: the Death Eaters attacking London's Millennium Bridge and a Christmas attack on The Burrow -- home to the Weasley family. In the trailer we see Harry running through the reeds surrounding The Burrow, perhaps an attempt to escape -- or confront -- this movie's new bad-guy Fenrir Greyback, described in the book as "the most savage werewolf alive."
For Yates, though, it's the quieter, character-based moments that he finds the most exciting, with Harry's other nemesis - teenage hormones -- making an appearance. "Steve came up with this notion that, after Order of the Phoenix, Harry's in this quite intense, dark place and he's riding the trains to free his brain a wee bit and he meets this really attractive waitress who he really likes," he told us. "You immediately set up the notion that suddenly these characters are a bit more aware of the opposite sex. I thought it was a really charming, lovely idea."
As Harry Potter enters his penultimate year and the threats on his life become ever more real, perhaps it's comforting to know that not everything has to be darker and more intense.

Both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was
The beloved boy wizard returns in the much-anticipated sixth installment of the Warner Bros. film franchise, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The yarn, set in Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, explores the past of the evil Lord Voldemort and deals with the increasingly complex relationships between Harry and his friends as they prepare for the final battle.
Outline of Harry Potter
David Yates once characterized this film as very “sex, drugs and rock-and-roll"; he amended this during our visit to “sex, potions and rock and roll.”
Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) agreed with one reporter’s characterization of the movie as the “romantic comedy Harry Potter,” citing specifically some physical humor played by Cormac McLaggen during Slughorn’s party. “They’re both in denial about their feelings,” she says of the often-jealous dynamic between her character and Ron. Meanwhile, Dan Radcliffe speaks of "oddly charged" moments between Harry and Ginny, and Jessie Cave, who plays Lavender Brown, said her kissing scenes made her concerned about "chipping a tooth."
