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.

One thing Emma has in common with her character Hermoine, is the fact that she is very intelligent.

Emma is a great girl, very clever and mature. But my favourite is Dan; I wish I had a child just like him.
These interviews are great for us fans, but I suppose the actors and crew get bored of answaering the same questions again and again; besides, they are human, they can have a bad day, but the journalist won't care: they'll write that that actor is really boring, or haughty, or whatever. I think that's not fair, we can get a false impression on somebody just because the interviewer was biased or didn't made the interview they expected.

She seems to have matured so much. Like she looks like a baby in the first movie. :-) I cried with her when Ron was being such a jerk...

Geri, I have read some of the posts and know that I am not the only one that can't find it...where is the article? When I click the link you provided, it takes me to www.emma-watson.net, where I am supposed to choose the site or the forum. Once I get onto the site, there are no further directions to find the article. Am I just missing it?
Thanks!

Interesting to find out more about an actor's schedule and what it's like to be on a set! I think the more Hermione's relationship changes with Ron, acting will become more and more fun for Emma Watson! Since their characters are changing, I'm sure their expereiences on the set are changing too!!
