'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' to Begin Test Shoots Soon

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is moving closer to its production. On Tuesday, January 20, Emma Watson posted a new blog entry on Emma Watson Official, revealing that the test shoots for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" will be done next Monday, January 26. "On Monday I go in for test shoots for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (part 1)," the blog read.

Noting that she is excited to meet her co-stars, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, the actress who plays Hermione Granger in the series also wrote that she may have few costume fittings, but is unsure about rehearsals. "I am quite excited to be back actually, I don't think I have seen Dan since the summer since he left for NY and Rupert since the Autumn," the 18-year-old shared. "I think I have a couple of costume fittings and a hair appointment to make my hair a bit browner. Not sure whether we have a couple of rehearsals as well."

In addition to those comments, the Best Movie Actress of 2007 U.K. Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards also fessed up that she is excited to see whether the people behind the project have brought in new cast members. More on the blog entry, including Watson's discussion on her holiday and upcoming SATs can be read via Emma Watson Official.

Rowling, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will be made into two movies, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" set for U.S. and U.K. release on November 19, 2010, and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" set for May 2011 release.
