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.

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!!

I love hearing of Emma and Dan but it seems like we know less of Rupert, since he is the most reserved of the group and also withdrawn. I guess he's like me ina way. SHY.

I think Emma is a really wonderful actress, perfect for Hermione.
I think it's cool that we share a taste in music too. I adore James Blunt!!
It was a nice interview, overall. Even though I've never heard of the Magazine...

Nice, another new interview. I don't think there has been a new one of Emma for a while. She is a great Hermione.

yup, read the interview and I don't see how anyonw who say bad things about Emma but there are people out there who just might do it. I am not one of these people I absolutely adore Emma,she is a fantastic actor, although she says that it's not that hard playing Hermione considering that she's grown up with the character. I bet she's a whole fun hanging out with her. I really want to meet her, not just meet but get to know her in a personal level.

Wow, she would pick a happy marriage over her career. I think she could do both, it's just sticking to your priorities and not getting your head turned by fame, and that doesn't seem to have happened yet, she seems to have a very mature approach. I wish her success in both cases, but I hope she continues acting.

I agree with Pheonix_721, they need to interview Maggie Smith! Also, Bonnie Wright (that is the girl who plays Ginny, yes/no?).

It is pretty intresting that they really are going to school in the breaks. I don't understand how they manage to wake up early,do some scenes,have some laughs,and go to school.They'll have to be burnout when they are coming home at the evenings

after I've finished reading the interviews I was sort of proud of Emma (even thought I don't know her in person)! I think that Emma is a marvoulous person! She is great! I really like her! When acting, people must still be as they were before they have preformed this unique chance! Unfortunatly some of the actors start to be arogant people but I think and I know that Emma isn't that kind of persons! She seems nice, and very feminan! I relly like this actriss!

I love reading new interviews to do with the trio and the dress she wore at the new york premiere was beautiful. She is really laid back about how famous she is now.
