In this behind the scenes video from Elle, Emma and the other honorees in this year’s awards talk about women in hollywood; famous lines, famous scenes, actresses that inspired them, and their roles that impacted their lives. Emma talked about her role in The Bling Ring. “I’m Nicki in Bling Ring, Sofia Coppola. It made me realize for the first time that my job went beyond just giving a good performance. It meant that I had to put myself into people’s shoes that I didn’t really understand, and it keeps you so open-minded. That was such a revelation to me, and really inspiring. I dunno, it’s cool when you feel like your job is making you a better person.”

EMMA WATSON
As Harry Potter’s wand-wielding, scene-stealing, know-it-all sidekick Hermione Granger, Emma Watson grew up before our eyes. Now she’s working her magic in a series of challenging, high-profile adult roles. Hogwarts? What Hogwarts?
In 2001, a reedy-voiced, frizzy-haired slip of a girl in a school cloak and tie slid open a train door on the Hogwarts Express and uttered her opening line: “Has anyone seen a toad?” Thus the world met Emma Watson, who, at nine years old, beat out squillions of other hopefuls for the role of magical Muggleborn witch Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. “I just knew, from the moment I read it, that I was meant to play that role,” says Watson, now 22 and having undergone, over the course of the nine Potter films, a Polyjuice Potion–worthy transformation from that tiny, tenacious Hogwarts newbie into a gamine, self-possessed, exceptionally charismatic grown-up. “My first impression of her was that she was so young and successful and beautiful, but had so much to prove to herself. That gave her a lot of depth, and also a touch of loneliness,” says Stephen Chbosky, who directed Watson’s first major post-Potter role, in an adaptation of his 1999 best-selling novel, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, about a group of high school misfits. As Sam, a troubled but tenderhearted teen, she projects both a surprisingly mature emotional intelligence and a riveting, bursting-from-the-screen energy. “She is one hell of a leading lady,” Chbosky says.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower opens in wide release today in the US, expanding to 726 theaters. Have you seen the film yet? If not, now’s your chance.

A preview on their website shows a new photo of Emma, and a quote of Emma talking about Harry Potter and fame. “I just knew, from the moment I read “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” that I was meant to play that role…I put one of the Potter films on the other night. And it was amazing to me that I had done all of that. I have to remind myself every now and then.”
