About being nervous about the Yule Ball scene (2005): "I was very nervous to live up to this fairy tale moment that it is for Hermione. It's meant to be a Cinderella sort of transformation and there was quite a lot of pressure for it to be really amazing. I found that all quite overwhelming. As for acting out the romance in it, Stan is such a warm, lovely guy, I felt so comfortable, I wasn't really that nervous about that too much at all. But there was quite a lot of anticipation before we shot the Yule Ball scene that it'd be perfect. So I hope it turned out OK."

Emma Covers Harper’s Bazaar UK

Emma Watson is on the cover of UK Harper Bazaar’s August issue. Previews of the cover and a number of photos have been previewed by the Daily Mail along with some excerpts from the interview. It’s a “good girl” “bad girl” idea behind the photoshoot, light colors and flowers vs. black and strong poses. There will be a normal cover wth Emma as the good girl, and a special subscriber cover showing her other side. The August issue goes on sale in the UK this week.

About leaving Brown

‘Leaving Brown had nothing to do with bullying, as the media have been suggesting recently. I have never been bullied in my life. Like a lot of other students at Brown, I might spend my third year abroad.’ When asked why she didn’t originally chose an English university, Watson explained: ‘I felt suddenly very claustrophobic…I thought, “I can’t stay here, I won’t be able to concentrate, I won’t be left alone.”‘

Trouble playing the bad girl

‘My acting tutor said the hardest thing for me was to get angry. I almost broke down in tears when they tried to get me to be angry. I said, “I can’t do it, I just can’t do it.” ‘I keep all of that really bottled up somewhere and I feel unleashing it would be the scariest thing – and to let myself be powerful, sexy, all those things, it’s scary for me. [Even playing the bad girl in this shoot] felt a bit uncomfortable and awkward, it didn’t come naturally at all.’

“There has never been room in my life for that [rebellion] – I couldn’t imagine giving my family any more trouble, it’s already been complicated enough.”

“My dad is one of the top international-communications lawyers in the country, and trying to argue with him was a nightmare, so I learnt quite quickly to be good with words. My mum is an incredible woman. She moved back from Paris with my brother and me after the divorce, and worked full-time, supporting both of us. But I felt I wanted to take care of her – I didn’t want to give her a hard time.”

About the Hollywood lifestyle

‘LA scares the c**p out of me. I feel if I have to work out four hours a day, and count the calories of everything I put in my mouth, and have Botox at 22, and obsess about how I look the whole time, I will go mad, I will absolutely lose it.’

    I could always help with faking anger…it’s fun to do cause it get’s your blood pumping quick and gives you a little rush…and on a different note I absolutely love how women especially Emma look completely different with just a different hair color/style

  2. lona says:

    oh.she is not beautiful with black hair..

  3. oks says:

    Wow these pictures are cool… I prefer the “good one”, but the “evil” is also quite interesting. However her facial expression is not in accordance with the message of the picture.

  4. Alyssa says:

  5. Nicole says:

    The contrast between “nice girl” and “bad girl” is really impressive. It shows drastically, how clothing can influence your appearence.

    I might be mistaken, but I think I´ve never seen the following featurette before

    http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2011/7/2/video-the-last-days-of-shooting-harry-potter-featurette

    The quality isn´t that great but it´s touching to see how moved everyone is by realising it was the end of harry potter. It shows how much it meant to all of them 🙂

    I love the part about LA it is The Hardest dealing with Hollywood lifestyle props to some celebs who are doing fairly well. Yes she will not make it there….please don’t move there Emma it’s not for you and I mean it in a good way.

    Another awesome photoshoot of the sexy Emma Watson. I love the “good girl, bad girl” theme it has. I believe the fact that Emma doesn’t want to make things more complicated for her family as she says in this interview is one of the main reasons she tries to keep her private life out of the spotlight as well. I imagine there is more to the interview but we will have to wait until it comes out.

    As to your question Bazaar. I’d say she’s nice. Obviously.
