Emma Watson's First Post-Harry Potter Role

Looks like the rumors have finally been confirmed. The actress best known 'round the world as Hermione will be starring in another teen book to movie adaptation. This time, it'll be with no magic at all. She'll be starring as Samantha from the much-beloved The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.

Logan Lerman (better known as Percy Jackson by most of you) will have the lead role of Charlie. Having watched him as Bobby in the short-lived tv show, Jack & Bobby, I have real faith that he can nail this role.

In an unusual situation, the author has not only written the screenplay himself, but will also be directing the movie. Which should give any fan great hope.

13 Reasons Why Movie

Jay Asher's 13 Reasons Why is one of the most successful books in the last 5 years, but in a completely different way than Twilight. It's one that just about every teen knows about, but most adults are completely oblivious of. It's one that people read over and over again. It came out back in the fall of 2007, and there has never NOT been a wait list for it. Most paperback versions come out 8 or 12 months after a book's initial release - we MIGHT finally get a paperback version released this coming June.

But.

That's not what I'm here to tell you about today. No, today, I'm here to tell you that 13 Reasons Why is not only going to be a movie (which you might have already known) but that Selena Gomez will be starring as Hannah Baker, the suicide victim and sender of the tapes.

What do you think?

Hunger Games Movie

Scholastic (the publisher of Hunger Games) is having a Mockingjay pin giveaway on their On Our Minds blog. All you have to do is tell them who you would cast in the roles of Katniss, Peeta, Gale, and Haymitch.

However, they are requiring that you be 18 or older to enter (LAME!), but, it is interesting to read people's comments either way.

I don't have anything to give away (*sob*), but I would still love to know who you'd cast in those four roles - so feel free to share in the comments!

My favorite suggestions from their comments so far are:

• Katniss: Emily Browning


• Peeta: Alex Pettyfer? Jeremy Sumpter? William Moseley? I don't know.


• Gale: Joseph Gordon-Levitt (would he even DO this kind of movie? Is he too old?)


• Haymitch: Eddie Izzard HANDS DOWN. Awesome suggestion.

No idea what we're talking about? Read Hunger Games and Catching Fire, but make sure you've got some time on your hands, 'cause you won't want to put them down. And get yourself on hold for Mockingjay now. It doesn't come out until August, but there are already 90 holds on it.

Already read HG & CF? Is the wait making you crazy? We have a whole list of books about survival. Find it here.
