| A new interview in the Sun has a new photo and Emma talking about then end of filming HP, boys and dating, her relationship with Dan and Rupert, and her thoughts about the future. |  |
The 20-year-old – Hermione Granger in the hit films – gave a rare interview after filming her emotional final scenes.
She told of her prim past, her dreams for the future and of how she plans to make the most of being a single girl.
Hollywood hotshot Emma said she is rarely asked on a date and added cheekily: “I wished I’d done more naughty things.
“Three months ago I cut my hair and at that moment I felt I became a woman. I’m ready to start taking risks.”
Speaking ahead of next week’s London premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Emma went on: “I’m very romantic and of course I want to be in love.
“I’ve been in love once in my life, but it was complicated.
“I can’t tell you who it was because it wouldn’t be fair to any others. But I can say I’ve never had my heart broken.
“I like men with quick wit, good conversation and a great sense of humour. I love banter. I want a man to like me for me – I want him to be authentic.
“But men don’t really ask me out. And I don’t get marriage proposals any more either. It’s not happening there!”
Between movies, Emma is studying for a history degree in the US. She said: “Both nations are attractive in different ways. In terms of men I fancy, I think the actor James Franco is gorgeous. But I find it odd to be described as a sex symbol myself. I mean – really? But of course it’s flattering.
“At the moment I’m just happy to be single. I want to live life to the full. But I’m more grown up and confident now. I’m ready to take more risks. I feel less girlish than ever.”
Emma was just nine when she was plucked from thousands of hopefuls to play Hogwarts swot Hermione in the film adaptations of JK Rowling’s hugely successful books.
Six films and 11 years later she has a fortune estimated at £20million. But she refuses to rest on her laurels and attends Brown University, Rhode Island.
She explained she can “fly under the radar a bit more” than in Britain, adding: “My best friend at Brown has never seen a Harry Potter movie or read the books. And one guy I dated didn’t know anything about the films, much less that I was one of the stars, which I found hilarious. Being at Brown has totally taken me out of my comfort zone. I’m so proud that I went to a different country to study and really spread my wings.
“Fun is something I’ve undervalued in the last ten years. I never made time for it. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I have to learn to be good at having fun.”
The move to America is reported to have helped end her two-year relationship with financier boyfriend Jay Barrymore. Emma was then linked to Spanish musician Rafael Cebrian and sparked rumours of a romance by appearing in a video with with singer George Craig from Brit indie band One Night Only.
But she said: “George and I were only ever friends. But he’s fantastic. We went to Glastonbury. While I don’t really drink, I’m always first on the dancefloor. I drag everyone up there.”
The new movie is the seventh, with Part Two of the Deathly Hallows being screened next year.
Emma said that when filming ended she wept with co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry, and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley).
She said: “Dan and Rupert have been there for me – but they are very different people. I can have a real gossip with Dan about everything while Rupert is quieter.”
Paris-born Emma continued: “As far as the future goes, I want to keep acting. I love singing and so would love to do a musical. I want to travel and become fluent in French.
“I’m a pretty positive person. My phone is full of quotes that I love – like, ‘Live every day to the full’.”
… Harry Potter
“I HAVE played Hermione since I was nine. The last day of filming was the end of an era. Dan, Rupert and I put our arms around each other and broke down in floods of tears. It was so emotional. I’ve been trying to think of ways to commemorate the Potter years. I’m not going to get a tattoo or anything, but I’m putting together a photo album for everyone.”
… Britain
“I AM studying at university in America. Being there is bitter-sweet. I love it, but I grew up here in England so I miss a lot. I miss M&S, Radio One, Capital Radio and Magic FM. I miss my family and friends and British accents – but definitely not the traffic.”
… Future
“I REALLY want to write a novel. I also want to learn to play the mandolin. I have acting projects coming up and I’m in a fantastic position right now. I realise I’m a pretty lucky person and I’m determined to make the most of life – but also to take a few chances if I can.”
nice pic of Emma, but I take what the Sun writes with a huge grain of salt. It doesn't matter what she may have said in the interview, they massage quotes all the time and that's putting it nicely. nice pic anyway.
OMG I love this pic!!! Her hair looks amazing!!
OMG so many post.i cant keep up!!! 😆 alsome!!
denise, I agree with you. The picture is nice though.
I'm glad that she likes the USA but I don't think she is going to stay tHere cause she obviously misses the uk quite a lot… What do American accents sound like to British people?
its amazing wow DOPS DOPS its my heart sounds wow
@Laila: To British people the American accent sounds like a sick alien singing "Auld lang Syne" throug his third nose… no, it's recognized as American quite easily by the way the "r" is spoken and by words that mean different things in real English. 🙂
Erm…not sure how I feel about this interview…but picture is so sweet:)
Sweet interview. She's a good girl.. Even if she doesn't want to be (?) lol. What an inspiration she is!
I want her to stay in the US just so long as I can meet her! Otherwise, I want her to go where her heart tells her to go. What a lovely girl!

oH! i foGot DaT(!) Im aM her crAzYy since She RIseD mE UP! 😛
♥ This is my heart’s surrender: You say you’ll always love me, A candle in your window, Forever shines where an angel waits to bring me home again; Back to the place where I’ll always be, With every dream that I have, For like a tree with the deepest roots, No storm can bring us down… 🙂
Lovely picture. Does anyone else think that she looks like Carey Mulligan here with her smile?
She always looks like herself 🙂
This is sooo not a real interview with her. The Sun is The Sun, as always. And she is not studying for a history degree….
Fonty, there is no quote from Emma saying that. It's just something the Sun threw in. I agree that the Sun isn't a reliable source though. However, I have seen some of the quotes in other interviews and articles, such as the sections EW.net left out(which were the same as previously posted articles), and some newer interviews have some of those quotes that are very similar(such as her saying what happened on the last day of filming). She's very beautiful in the picture though. I do find it interesting that Emma apparently wants to write a novel. I hope that is true and that she can eventually find the time to write it(her schedule is too busy at the moment since writing takes a LOT of time and effort), because I'd love to read it.
Hm, as much as I wish parts of this article is true I doubt the Sun ever interviewed Emma. 😕 It seems just to be cut together from what she has said, the writer must have read things like "Emma loves books" and then made a quote where she says she wants to write a novel. T She talks way too much about her love life for that article to be real!
Can she be any more awesome? I mean, you know, it's the Sun, but still. . . good stuff. ^_^
look how thy took her completley out of contact here(i’m not that good in english,but i hope you’ll understand what i meant..) [link deleted] it’s so annoyng,i mean its the same interview as the sun’s one but they make it look so diffrent and awful,and i dont belive that pic is real,she’s too much good girl for it
@d, that “new” picture is an old fake. at least a couple years old. Let’s not give the tabloid idiots any more publicity.
"At the moment I'm just happy to be single. I want to live life to the full. But I'm more grown up and confident now. I'm ready to take more risks. I feel less girlish than ever." A single-life has a lot advantages 😛
