About crying on screen in GOF (2005): "It was the first time that I've had to properly cry on screen. Actually, you know what, it's funny, I find it easier to cry but to laugh realistically... When they just say "laugh on cue", it's really hard not to make it sound kind of fake (...) But no, I did have to try to think about something that was really upsetting."

Rumored New Role for Emma // 18 April 2008

There is news today from The Hollywood Reporter that Emma is attached to star in Napolean and Betsy after Scarlett Johansson dropped out. From the article: “Watson will play Betsy Balcombe, a young, impetuous noblewoman trapped on the isolated British Isle of St. Helena who falls in love with Napoleon, who is in exile on the island.” The period drama would likely begin shooting in the fall before Deathly Hallows starts in 2009. Thanks to everyone that let us know.

TV Alert
We have also heard that Emma will be appearing on the ITV program Travels in Written Britain, a new series that will look at “how the places of Britain have influenced writers throughout history.” Emma will read an excerpt from George Eliot’s great niece’s diary. Thanks to the Sassy forums via musicnote. source

The program will air on ITV1 on Sunday at 10.45pm. If anyone can send us a capture we would appreciate it. High quality is best.

Have a great day!

    According to a Harry Potter site, they e-mailed her agent who reportedly confirmed the role a while ago. However, Emma usually mentions her roles on her official site. I will wait until she confirms it to call it official.
