Hermione Finds Love

From the interview of http://events.uk.msn.com. Here are a few of their questions.

“QUESTION: How tough was it to have your character start a romance onscreen with Ron, especially since he’s played by an old friend?

EMMA WATSON: I don’t know that it’s tough. Rupert’s a really laid back guy but I’m really looking forward to it because I quite like the romantic comedy side of it. Rupert and I end up providing light relief, as the films get darker. It’s funny seeing Rupert struggling in the romantic stakes. Hermione and Rupert are so different yet they have this chemistry, so it’s interesting. It’ll be awkward doing those love scenes; there’s no other way to put it, but its all part of the job.

QUESTION: How great did it feel to win a Best Actress award at the ITV Movie Awards?

EMMA WATSON: It was so lovely. I genuinely didn’t expect to win it. It wasn’t just about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It was about all the films and I was delighted that the public had voted for that award. It’s one of my proudest moments.

QUESTION: Does working on a Harry Potter film feel different now that all three of you have done different projects?

EMMA WATSON: Yes, and it was really nice to be able to come back and talk to Dan and Rupert about the projects they had been working on; and how different it was to work on stage and TV. It’s given us all more confidence as actors because we were chosen so young for the Potter films. It was so important to me to do Ballet Shoes. I learnt so much from that experience.

QUESTION: So what have been the big ‘wow!’ moments over the years?

EMMA WATSON: The first was when we were told we had got the parts and we stayed in a fancy hotel for the press conference. I remember sitting on a massive bed jumping around watching myself on the TV evening news. It was mad. We also did a premiere at the Radio City Music Hall in New York and I remember looking up at all the people and saying wow!

QUESTION: What about the perks and getting stuff from people from companies like Chanel?

EMMA WATSON: It’s amazing getting sent their dresses because I’ve always loved their clothing. They are the best. If anyone was going to dress me for a premiere, it was going to be Chanel. I physically don’t have time to go out any buy clothes for events so they lend me clothes and it works really well. I also consider it a perk that I get to travel and get to work with the people I’ve worked with. What other job would have given me all these opportunities?

QUESTION: Do you keep a diary?

EMMA WATSON: I do have early diaries filled with funny little things I said or thought. I also have memory boxes filled with things from the early films, including bits of the chess set. I have funny bits and pieces that they let us keep.

QUESTION: What’s in your dressing room here at the studio?

EMMA WATSON: Rupert has darts, pool, table tennis and all these games consoles. Dan’s room is full of books and music. I was so bored one summer that I painted a big mural in my dressing room. Otherwise, it’s all very girly with candles and soft furnishings.”

Dream’Up Magazine

According to http://www.snitchseeker.com, Emma Watson was in a recent French magazine called “Dream’Up.”

Here are a few of the translated questions from http://www.snitchseeker.com.

“Propositions might already pour in …

For now, I’ve just a certainty : I go to uni in September ! I need to devote time for my studies, in attending English class and philosophy. After having hesitating a long time between England and the USA, I hope I’ll attend the American university of Brown, in Rhode Island state. If it works, I’ll follow my acting career in parallel. I’ll never leave my biggest passion.

So you don’t stop acting …

No! If all is working well, I’ll act next autumn, an independent film called Napoleon and Betsy realised by Benjamin Ross. I’ll play the Betsy Balcombe role, the heroine, which originally was to have been played by Scarlett Johansson, who is a producer, too. Besty is a young noble with an enthusiastic disposition. Accidentally, she finds herself on the Britain Island of Sainte-Hélène, where the great Napoleon is exiled.

The look, is it important for you ?

On my way of dressing, I’m a real tomboy! I have it in common with Hermione. In everyday life, I wear jeans and a simple pullover. For special occasions, like the premieres or gala parties, I try to make an effort. I’m not at-ease in designer gowns, but I’ve begun to appreciate it …

What aspect of your personality would you change?
I would like to be more sexy! In each photocall, the stylists would like to see me wearing ultramini skirts, set assistants would like I take some languorous poses … I admit that I can’t be a tigress yet. But I’m working on it! [laughs]”
