...past five years. When Daniel Radcliffe was cast as Harry (after a small part in The Tailor of Panama), he was only 11. Emma Watson (who plays nerd-girl Hermione Granger) was 10; Rupert Grint (Potter pal Ron Weasley), almost 12. Now, with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire set to open in two weeks, they've spent a third of their lives making movies. They've gone from children to teenagers entirely within the weird, closed bubble of the Potterverse...

"Mike really brings out how awkward and awful and how embarrassing the whole situation is," says Watson...
...fire brigade. Tabs opening and sips slurping, the sound of thirst-quenching and drink-drinking drowned out the pre-show murmuring. At the front of the hall, the last pieces of percussion clattered as the sole stagehand strung a rope between two beams. A pot, a cookie tin, a goblet, and a candlestick dangled, ready for fun.Then, one-by-one, the members of Architecture in Helsinki tromped into the open. In the crowd, whispers rose to roars and cheers into screams. While the guitars were slung over the musicians’ shoulders and the heels of the hipsters rose...
