About liking school (2007): "I know that sounds strange, but when you are filming you never quite know what you are going to be doing each day. You are pulled from place to place and the schedules change. So I really enjoyed the feeling that I was back at school. I wanted to take responsibility for my education instead of being pushed along by it."

New video, new quotes // 25 November 2007

Hello EW.netters,

Today, thanks to Diandra, we have a new video for you: an OotP behind-the-scenes special from the Brazilian channel SBT. You’ll see Emma pushing Daniel on the set (at 03:43), making funny dance moves (at 04:35) and being interviewed (it starts at 06:52).

Download the video here: WMV or watch it our YouTube

(There are actually three parts to the special, but we’re only posting the second one, because that’s where Emma is interviewed)

Also, we’d like to thank Solo for finding a new article from the Toronto Sun which features a few nice Emma quotes:

“It’s funny because it happened to me when I was so young. You barely notice yourself growing up when it’s happening, but I guess that’s what has happened, really. It’s very peculiar looking back on them and seeing how much I’ve changed and how much I’ve grown and what I looked like before all this happened. But, in a way, that’s what people really identify with. It makes it a real journey — a very real journey — because we literally are growing up with the characters.”

“For such mainstream entertainment, it has such depth. It is very complex. That’s why I wouldn’t just call it a kids’ book. I would call it an adults’ book as well because it genuinely can be read by all ages.”

“Everything about the book, everything about J.K. Rowling’s world, is thought down to the very last detail. You can pull apart the spells and they’re Latin and they actually mean what they’re doing. And all the names are so interesting and they’re unique and different and everyone has their own history. How she’s come up with all of this is just amazing.”

“At the end of each book, it’s almost like an Aesop’s Fable. Every time, every year, there is a lesson that Harry learns, so that the reader in turn learns.” With no lectures. “Exactly! So it doesn’t feel tiresome.”

“I did a film for the BBC, called Ballet Shoes, in the summer. Having an experience outside of Harry Potter really helped me. I think it convinced me that this is where I am meant to be and this is what I’m meant to be doing: That I do want to be an actress.”

“But I think I needed to have an experience outside of Harry Potter because, in a way, I was really plucked out of obscurity and given this role. I mean, I really wanted it but it never felt like a decision that I made. It just happened to me. I felt that I won the lottery. So I’ve always kind of slightly questioned it.”

[ Dook & Neve ]

  9. kc says:

    hah, is that emma dancing at 4:35?

  10. perla says:

  11. mariza says:

    Wow! Aesop's Fable! Loved it that she mentioned something involving greek history! And that penult quote about the actress thing, really shows that she IS going to be a proffesional actress! 😉 😆

  12. Kenne says:

    I agree with the last paragraph. She was called up in assembly, she did not pursue the role on her own, like Rupert did. However, the luck ended there, the rest was due to her incredible talents. 🙂

    Wow i really love the quotes from Emma she is amazing. I think the guy doing the interviews looks kind of weird,but the video is awesome. Wow that's cool to see Emma dancing,yes Emma is an amazing dancer. I really love the POTD from the CNN interview a couple years ago. Wow OMG Evanna and Bonnie look really amazing and beautiful while being interviewed too. I always love how they put Evanna and Bonnie together such gorgeous gals :wink:. I want to see more of Evanna in HBP and DH. I don't like them having the voices over the actresses/actors talking cos i really don't have a clue what they're saying. But a great video none the less,and i love how Evanna smiles during the clip at 6:50 and how beautiful Emma looks there. Evanna,Bonnie,and Emma always look gorgeous no matter what.

  14. cryptus says:

    Hm, the link to the video doesn't work, WMP always gets an error at 2.78MB… May somebody can put this on YouTube or another download link? I'd be pleased watch Emma dancing… 🙁 Hopefully anybody will answer my prayers 🙂

  15. Samuel says:

  16. tayjayy says:

  17. Dan says:

    Personally I would love to see a music video for the last movie , …maybe at the end .Dan playin guitar , Ruppert doin somethin and Emma singing and dancing all around the boys and teasin them .Then making each one dissapear with her wand into Hermiones beaded purse ! Dancing into the background and finally giving a wink over her shoulder as the boys wiggle in her purse . Waaaa someone call David Heyman it would sell millions of CDs .

  18. muggle_born says:

  22. *hpfan* says:

    yeah! go emma! 😉

  23. evannabonnieandemmalover17 says:

    Well the POTD from yesterday was from CNN in America where Emma was talking about GOF,and her predictions for the final book. The interview was from a couple years ago,around the time of GOF coming out. The one now was from a photoshoot for the magazine teen vogue i hope that helps. Emma rocks and rules it all.

  24. muggle_born says:

    evannabonnieandemmalover17, I was away for Thanksgiving, but now I'm back and I see you've changed your name AGAIN!!! That's OK with me, but I think you should show Emma proper respect by putting her first!!! 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛

  25. meg says:

  26. evannabonnieandemmalover17 says:

    I respect all of them and i am huge fans of all of their's. I still love Emma most of all,but i am fans of Evanna's and Bonnie's too. I would love to dance with Emma that would be a dream come true.

  27. cryptus says:

    @Dan, lol! great idea, seriously, would be a great special… btw, thx for putting the video on youtube, Emma's dancing interlude (if this is the right word in english) is quite good, of course, she's a great dancer, perfect woman, what Emma definitely is, has to be a perfect dancer as well… Everyone, have a nice evening!
