I can't believe it" or "Sometimes, I'll go to a friend's house and their little brothers and sisters will be playing the first film on DVD and it's very strange. It's like your baby pictures but a whole film of it. I look so different". Cute! Click here to read the entire article.

Hello EW.netters,

Today, we have a new interview for you. Well, it's actually the transcript of an interview that Emma, Dan, Rupert and JK Rowling recently did.

Here are the Emma parts:

"EMMA WATSON: Everywhere I go people stop me, recognise me. I mean, I don't know quite how to explain it. It's just completely turned my life upside down so, yeah, just — you just have to kind of adapt, I guess.

TARA BROWN: And can anything prepare you for that?

EMMA WATSON: Um, no. You just ... no. You just … just take it as it comes, I guess.

(...)

TARA BROWN: Now, Hermione has been an infuriatingly sensible witch all along. Now she's loosened up a little bit in this film. Does that make her more fun to play?

EMMA WATSON: Yeah, I really enjoyed playing kind of her rebellious side. She kind of breaks free a bit because previously she's played by the rules and would rather die than be expelled so yeah, I'm the rebel.

(...)

TARA BROWN: Some young fans of the Harry Potter series that I've spoken to think that your brains, as Hermione, are going to undo you.

EMMA WATSON: Oh, right! Oh, gosh.

TARA BROWN: And some of them don't even mind if you die a painful death.

EMMA WATSON: Oh, that's outrageous! Oh well, you know, as long as everyone sobs and cries and I have a really, really great dramatic kind of death then I guess that would be okay, but God, that's really harsh. I've never really thought about that."

Also, don't forget that Emma is attending the London premiere at the Odeon cinema in Leicester Square tomorrow at 5 PM. She'll also attend two events in Paris on Wednesday: an autograph signing at the FNAC Saint-Lazare at 6.30 PM and the French OotP premiere at the Gaumont Marignan cinema on the Champs-Elysées, at 8 PM. And EW.net will have one correspondent attending the autograph signing (but that won't be me, I unfortunately can't go ). Anyway, we're always interested in fan reports and pictures, so if you get to see Emma, send an email to emmawatson.source@gmail.com

Have a nice day,

In a first for Harry Potter Fansites, Emma-Watson.net is proud to announce it's part in The Order - a ring of fansites dedicated to bringing you the very best actor and general HP news when it happens.

Our partner sites in The Order are RupertGrint.net, DanRadcliffe.com, EvannaLynch.net, BonnieWrightOnline.com and Leaky. The banner that you see above (thanks very much to John, Ashley and Alex over at Leaky for this fabulous work!) will bring you the top three headlines from each site and, if you click on the headline for the selected actor, you will be transferred to the chosen partner site.

COVER: 
The Harry Potter heroine.
Emma Watson

“To have a boyfriend is not my priority” 

 SCAN 1: 

Backstage 

She has been known as the little Hermione Granger in the cinematographic version of Harry Potter. Today she is 17 and she has a clearer point of view.

Cover girl: Emma Watson

Name: Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson

Place and date of birth: Paris, France. April 15^th 1990

Personal tips: She loves hockey, tennis, dancing and acting

Projects: She enjoys of the recent release of Harry Potter and “The Order Of The Phoenix”, fifth film of the saga

She says: “I don’t have a boyfriend. The days are short and when I’m not filming I go to school. The “boys” subject is straight low on my priority list. I don’t have a type of boy… He just has to be kind, make me laugh, nothing special”. 

Her Look:

She loves dresses and to have the face clear. “It’s important the way you dress, because it’s the way you are shown to the world. I don’t wear designers’ clothes yet… I’m just a teenager experimenting stuff she likes!”.  Outside the camera she only uses soft make-up. 

Emma would like that something happens between Harry and Hermione. Would they be boyfriends? 
 

SCAN 2 AND 3: 

Emma Watson

At 17, the Harry Potter heroin starts to say goodbye to the little girl and welcomes to the woman.

When she was 3, she told her grandmother she would want to be a fairy or an actress when she grows up.

Although one of those dreams seemed to be impossible to be true, both of them became true suddenly, when the “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” casting went to her school. She got the main character to play the part of a little witch (more nearly to a fairy than to an evil sorcerer). The whole world began to know her as the sweet Hermione Granger, heroin of the successful saga which this month will be released its fifth part.

In all this time, Emma Watson –born in Paris, on April 15^th 1990- grew up. And without knowing too much about when or how, she has become a young woman who knows what she wants. She has her own opinions about her profession, friendship and love. She loves sports –mostly hockey and tennis- and the songs of Beyonce and Celine Dion and dancing (although she confesses she is not an expert) and acting, of course. She is called “One Take Watson” because of her facility to complete scenes in only one take. 

Emma studies dance, Art and literature in a school in Oxford. 

SCAN 4: 

“If I wasn’t famous, I would still be wary about boys” 

“I don’t have boyfriend and it’s not one of my priorities” 
 

SCAN 7: 

17: Is there anything on acting which is really hard for you?

EW: I can cry, and do almost anything, but when it’s about laugh, of making a realistic laugh which doesn’t sound fake… I have to really really effort. Sometimes we have to stop the scene because Dan, Rupert and I are laughing. But they make you stand in front of the camera and they say “action, I want you to laugh”, it’s impossible to achieve it. There’s no way. 

17:You have already made lots of films of Harry Potter… Is it becoming routine for you?

EW: Routine? I think I was lucky to play with so many different directors. That makes every single movie interesting. They bring something new, they show me that and I learn it. For example, I love travelling and swimming, and on the fourth movie I had to do both. There were entire scenes under the water. It was a truly new experience! Besides, acting with different actors is always great. 

17: Do you have any time left for a boyfriend? Do you have a boyfriend?

EW: Not for the moment. I’m pretty busy. The days are short and when I’m not filming I go to school. The “boys” subject is straight low on my priority list. But I do can tell you I have a bunch of good friends. 

17: Are you more careful about boys for who you are now?

EW: I’d say yes, I’m more careful about that. But I’m not frightened by boys. I think I’d be careful independently of playing movies or not. 

17: Would you date with Dan or Rupert?

EW: For God’s sake, no! We have a special relationship… kissing anyone of them would be like kissing a brother! It’s wrong, horrible, awkward, not good. 

17: Which is your type of boy?

EW: I’m not like a girl who has a kind of boy. He has to be nice, make me laugh, nothing special. 

17: Are you worried about typecast?

EW: It’s my worst nightmare. One of my biggest concerns is that after so many years on Harry Potter, people would start to stereotype me, to see me as Hermione and nothing else. I want to do other things, I want to try different characters. 

17: Is it hard to go back to school after an exciting day of filming?

EW: I always loved school. I love sports, learning, being with my friends, so after playing I like to go back to school. When I have the chance I try to be there and to get involved with that aspect of my life, being in touch with my friends. I do a great effort to keep forward with all. 

17: Do you have idols?

EW: Idols? There are people who I admire. But I wouldn’t say that there’s someone. There are skills on actors and actresses which I admire a lot. 

17: How would you feel if another actress takes your job?

EW: Oh! I would really hate it! It would be really painful, because there’s a lot of her in my. I feel close to her in many aspects. Obviously, it’s a fiction character made by J.K. Rowling. 

17: Have you ever made a bad mistake about your look, like a bad haircut?

EW: Last summer, a friend and I got crazy. I had a break of one month in the middle of the filming to do what I want. Then she wanted to dye my hair to pink, a strong pink. In result: I had to wash my hair three times a day during two weeks to go back to my normal look. 

17: Are you allowed to change your aspect?

EW: Yes, once that I know that I finished with my scenes. 

17: How much pressure do you feel at your age for being so observed by the public? Do you have to take care about the clothes you wear?

EW: In the last movie I realised that people started to stare at me. It sounds crazy, but I never thought about that. In my opinion, fashion was always something fun, I’m just a teenager experimenting, enjoying the clothes and developing my own tastes and ideas, so at the moment I’m not in any particular style. 

17: Do you buy designers’ clothes?

EW: No, I’m too young to wear designers’ clothes. But I really like Mark Jacobs, he has such lovely dresses. 

17: What do you do with your money?

EW: I’ve got it safe in the bank until I’m 18 

17: But you must have something on your pockets…

EW: I only use the money to buy clothes.
