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.

That was cool. I guess, what im saying is that we know that she has to go to school and she only has to work whatever hours in a day, and that we know that each director is different. Come on that was sort of dumb but then again i don't really like her so yeah that just about covers it.

Idiot magizine, of course it matters who directs the movie! She is good at answering stupid questions. She's so sweet- she handles herself greatly. She's not a sex symbol, and she's a great actress, it's fantastic to have someone like that that little girls can look up to instead of Britney Spears or Linsay Lohan.

I always love reading these interviews! I think it's interesting to see the actors point of views on things that happen on the set and with directors being changed and all that!

I have to admit that for the first...oh, say four years I saw HP movies I couldn't stand her, but lately she's been growing on me. I don't know why, but she just seems different now, or maybe I'm getting used to her.
Anyway, great interview! Sometimes I read these things and it's just like, "Why on earth did you ask them that?" I really enjoyed this one, though.

That's true, we can see it on the screen, for each director there's something different, I loved the last one and the third one I thought that they had missed something.

I thought what she said about how the director can have a big impact on the feel of the fil was intersting...I think you can really see the difference in the directors' styles over the 4 films...Especially, I think with the PoA's transitions between scenes!

Emma sounds like a pretty nice person. I dunno why I envy her soo much - then again, lots of people hate her (which is horrible) so maybe not.
