New Emma interview // 30 June 2007

Hello everybody,

Thanks to Solo from our boards, we have a new interview from the Telegraph for you today (click here to read the entire article):

“Emma Watson, at 16 the youngest of the trio, has grown into an attractive young woman over the course of the films, but she is probably the least confident in her own abilities. While she sees a lot of her Hermione Granger character in herself – “We’re both very stubborn, determined, loyal, academic feminists” – she believes any acting talent she has is instinctive and is unsure whether it will be enough to carry her on in after Harry.

“I’ll feel a bit lost when it all finishes, I guess,” she says. “It’s hard to imagine life without Harry Potter. It’s made up such a big part of my life and dominated so much time. It’ll be really weird.

“Never having done an audition before and never having done any professional acting and going into the biggest film franchise of all time, I’ve kind of come from nowhere and gone straight in at the top. Where do I go from here? I feel like I need to backtrack and work my way through again. I’d be really interested to kind of train properly because I feel I shouldn’t be here. I should have done so much more.”

What she has gained, however, is valuable experience, and she had grown sufficiently in confidence to ask David Yates, the director of Order of the Phoenix, whether she was contractually obliged to do so many takes. (Yates, who likes 30 or so takes, gave a polite yes.)

“I got thrown in the deep end on the first one, but the Harry Potter films have been a pretty amazing acting school,” she says. “When I got the part, the only thing I had apparently was some natural acting ability. I didn’t know anything about making a film, and there was so much technically I had to learn and understand.

“I spent the first two films just constantly being in awe, not really knowing if I was doing it right, if I was any good or why I was there.

“I’ve worked with four directors now, all of different nationalities, ages and personalities and I’ve worked with animals, with huge amounts of special effects and stunts. And I feel like I’ve seen and done a lot, so I’m quite lucky and I feel I’m pretty well set up for any other project I take on. This is my fifth time around, and I feel so much more confident in my ability as an actress.”

Watson, who was wearing blue Diesel jeans and a pink Chanel top, is being paid a reported

    She's incredible; she really is. I'm proud to have been her fan for such a long time. She's so wise and intelligent, and I think I picked the right person to idolise, haha. Wonderful; I'd love to see her in other roles, but nos illy little school girls. Complex, deep, challenging characters should be right up her street. I could imagine her as a medieval womanly warrior type. Sinead.

  8. Upset says:

    um i would like to point something out. i heard about the person hacking into Harry Potter and I DID NOT want to read the spoilers and by reading this interview i read what the hacker said. NOW i REALLY wish i didnt! i know the spoilers MIGHT not be true but they could. so,i think other people wouldnt want to read that part either. i wished i didnt. 🙁

  9. Phlegm says:

    I didnt really want to read any of the spoilers either. 🙁 But the interview was good.

  15. Christine says:

    Emma would have been perfect for the role as Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth Bennet and Hermione Granger are very similar.

  16. Dan says:

    I was in awe in the first film her first scene . Since she has amazed me with something in each film . Emma has a real knack for bringing the viewer to her. Shes an actress but also an artist and an amazing one at that . There is no no doubt in my mind she can be at the very top as an actress . As a person I admire her for all she is . As a fan I bow to her and respect her .

  17. Dan says:

    Think back to POA , ….JKR said she was amazed to see the clues that were left as to the characters . JKR left clues in every book , …if you watched for them . Forget the spoilers .

  18. emma-jo says:
