Scientists: Opp attract theory not really true
The popular theory that opposites attract in matters of love doesn’t hold true, going by what scientists suggest.
Researchers at University of California, Berkeley, found that people are drawn to potential partners if they are of their own or similar league and desirability. Personality traits and common interests do play a part but for that instant attraction, like is drawn towards like. Study authors turned to online dating sites, measuring the popularity of more than 3,000 heterosexual users of a site.
Popularity was defined by the number of opposite-sex individuals who had sent unsolicited messages to a user.
Analyses indicated that high-popularity users contacted other popular users at a rate greater than would be expected by chance, the Daily Mail reports.

Emma used doubles: Rupert Grint
London: Actress Emma Watson had to use “doubles” during the filming of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 due to her university commitments, says her co-star Rupert Grint.
Watson, 21, who portrays Hermione Granger in the popular wizard franchise, was pursuing college at Brown University in the US while the shooting was on.
And Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, said that special techniques had to be employed because she wasn’t always available, reported Contactmusic.
“She wasn’t here a lot, really. We had to shoot around her, really, because she had commitments for her university. She had a lot of doubles. They made a mask of Emma’s face, a prosthetic for wide shots,” said Grint
“She was there for big days and really important scenes and stuff. But I don’t know how she did it, really. It’d be so weird to be in that school environment and then be on set. I couldn’t do it,” added Grint.
The actor also said that the last of the Harry Potter movie, which required the characters to age, was a “deteriorating” experience.
