Emma One of the Most Beautiful Faces of 2008; JKR One of the Most Powerful of 2008

Emma Watson's official website had been updated with some decoration (a candle in the graphic) in anticipation for her 18th birthday this Tuesday (my 19th birthday, just fyi). The website also mentions that the actress had been listed 27th in "100 most beautiful faces of 2008".

Speaking of lists, J.K. Rowling has has been listed among the Telegraph's 100 Most Powerful People in British Culture.

14) J.K. Rowling, 42, author. Harry Potter brought her fame and fortune, and she in turn has given a break to the British film industry, by insisting the films of her books be shot in Britain with an all-British cast. Has said: ‘I never wanted [fame] and I never expected it and certainly didn’t work for it, and I see it as something that I have to get through, really.’


Also of note, Stephen Fry, the UK HP audiobook narator, and Helena Bonham Carter (aka Bellatrix) ranked in at 44 and 99, respectively, on the list.
