We know that it is very early to talk about seventh part of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows, as the sixth part, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is yet to be released, but in a press conference, director David Yates and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson offered up some tidbits about where they're headed with the last two films.

Even though most of you have already read Deathly Hallows, you must be having keen interest about the part where Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny as adults, seeing their own children off on the Hogwarts Express.

"We will be delivering that at the end of Part 7, Part 2," Yates promised. "Were looking at various options of how we do it."

While Yates said they probably won't be using "Benjamin Button" technology, producer David Heyman promised that Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe would be playing their older selves, not some stand-in adult actors. "We may use some of the [Benjamin Button] techniques," Heyman said, maybe as a hedge in case David Fincher comes a calling. "We're still in the exploratory stage."

Well there's another thing in which Harry Potter fan's are looking forward to-- Ron and Hermione's big kiss?
Grint and Watson admitted sheepishly that they filmed the scene a few weeks ago, and did everything they could to get it over with as quickly as possible.
Grint confesses. "It's quite a strange thing to think about doing, We both felt the pressure. It was like kissing my own sister"

Well though she been given punk look for the magzine cover, but she says she avoids being too stylish and generic. She insists her clean-cut reputation is inaccurate and isn’t your “classic” public schoolgirl — and she hates it when people judge her.

“I’m not your classic public schoolgirl because I’ve been brought up in Watford,” she dished.

“And I’ve met and worked with people from a million different backgrounds… You can’t please everyone. And that’s something that I’m learning.”

Watson can next be seen in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, which hits cinemas next month.

She said on her official website: “At last week’s London Fashion I met Johnny Borrell (who is modeling for Burberry at the moment) and we went on to a party hosted by designers PPQ in the same cab. I’d never met him before so that was great as I’m a big Razorlight fan.

Emma and Johnny, 27, were seen laughing and joking at London’s National Portrait Gallery last Monday before partying at nearby nightclub Dolce.
