Recently Harry Potter actress Emma Watson sat down with Belgian magazine Humo and discussed the Potter movies, working with the different directors, life off the set, her music tastes and admits that she wants to continue acting.
On having a new director for each film & what she does off the set:
Humo: The Harry Potter films rely mostly on special effects. Does it actually matter who directs the film?
Emma: Yes it does, because each director has his own kind of style. Mike Newell was the first British director and you can feel that: he knows the boarding school ambience and has a very dry sense of humor. He also gave a lot of his attention to us, the actors. He always said: ‘In this film we get to see magical owls, snakes and dragons, en we're working with a huge budget and a lot of special effects, but all that means nothing if you aren't convincing.' The result was that he spent a lot of time with us and talked a lot to us. And that was new. But I don't think that one way of working is better than the other, there's just a difference.
Humo: What do you do actually, when you're not on set?
Emma: I go to school (laughs). I experience the filming in a whole other way than the adult actors. They're probably often bored to death, because on a film set you sometimes have to wait a very long time before you can actually shoot a scene. But that doesn't affect me: as soon as I'm ready with my scene, they take me from the set and drive me to school. By the way, I'm only allowed by the law to work a limited amount of hours a day.

WoW! I can't believe how crazy I am about Emma. I know that the reality is that I most probably will never get to meet her or grip her hand and ask her out.
But I'm with her all the same...

I have just read the interview. Emma sounds like she has got a good head on her sholders, and that she won't do stupid things like get into drugs and things like that. I think that she would a good role modal for girls her own age and possably younger. Not like other child actors like River Phounix who ended up killing himself for example.

I'm glad that it sounds like she's handling everything very well. There must be some mixed feelings about having to live in the movie world and having to live in her real world. I really hope that she doesn't end up regretting all this sometime in the future. She seems like she has a lot going for her.

It's funny how the normal people (no-famous) want to be famous and the famous people want to be normal, like in the Emma Watson interview say.
