About her future (2007): "I'm just 17. I would like to live in France for a while, to improve my French and spend at least a couple of years travelling around the world. Then, when I'm about 19, I'll have to think seriously about my future: the University - I would like to study Philosophy or Literature - and a home."

Emma talks about ballet // 18 October 2007

Hey everybody,

Thanks to Wandeck from our boards for letting us know that ContactMusic.com features a small interview of Emma. Here’s what she has to say:

British actress EMMA WATSON found filming her new role as a ballerina much harder than working on the HARRY POTTER movies. The 17-year-old, who plays Hermione Granger, is also starring in new British TV series Ballet Shoes and had to take ballet lessons to prepare for the role. She says, “I loved shooting Ballet Shoes, but it’s much harder doing ballet than stunts on Harry Potter as I don’t do most of those myself. “Other people do it for me so I guess I get away with much more. Playing a ballerina is so different, it’s lots of hard work and I’m not really that good.”

We’re pretty sure Emma actually did a great job playing a ballerina but it’s still nice to read a new interview, isn’t it?  🙂

Apart from that, please don’t forget our Christmas project (check our 15th October update to know more)!

    FIRST! 😆 *does a happy dance* I'm sure Emma did a wonderful job playing Pauline! :)) And since she's been dancing for years, I'd think ballet wouldn't be such a tough thing to practice. Something stroke me as quite odd in that interview… I've always thought that Emma does most of her stunts herself, or at least tries to, and that she'd actually said so in an interview somewhere… 😕 I may be completely in the woods here with this one, though! Do correct me if I'm wrong! 🙂

    Well, im sure Emma will be AH-mazing in ballet shoes 🙂 But ballet is REALlY hard and if she has only done like hip hop and break-dancing. Thats gonna be quite a challege. But emma works her but off at everything so im sure she'll surprise us 😉

  9. !Federica! says:

    She'll be awesome, we'll see, it doesn't matter what kind of dancing itis, if you've danced one and you've got it, then you've got what it takes to do any dance, and I think we're all sure she's got it, commmon, if she wouldn't, she wouldn't have participated in those competitons (they wouldn't let her), so she definitely has what it takes to be a ballerina (I should know, all kinds of dances are as easy for me as any other (ballet, native dancing, break, hip hop, modern, line, latin, etc.), so I think it'll be (will have been) easy for Emma too, it just takes a little practice to learn the moves, but when you've got it, you got it… 😉 Emmarocks!!!
