About JK Rowling and Hermione (2007): "JK Rowling based the character on herself, so obviously she will have had a very strong idea of how she would develop, but maybe I have played a small part in the way she is growing up. It would be very flattering if I had. But I think that naturally I am so like Hermione anyway. J K Rowling has been really lovely and very supportive of the films - she comes on set and she is in e-mail contact with a lot of us. She just said to me, "You are Hermione, you have completely become her," which was just so nice and so generous of her.'"

Charles's Inspiration Story


I suppose it's wise to start at the beginning, right. Well, I saw Emma Watson on "The Sorcerer's Stone" and instantly fell in love with her wit and personality.

It inspired me to write a story about a wizard, based on her image as Hermione. I call the series Princess Luanne and Wizard Heatheria. (See if you can guess who Emma would be.)

Anyway, Heatheria is an orphaned twelve-year-old with a magical lineage, and she makes friends with twenty-one-year-old... yep, you guessed it, Princess Luanne. They become a force for good as teacher and apprentice in the arts of magic and would do anything to help each other, even if it costs them their lives.

I owe everything to Emma, and I hope that when you read this story, you'll think so, too.
