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.

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.

I thought that all the directors talked to the actors. I guess this director talked to them even more than the others. Its nice that she still has a life outside of acting.

It would probably be interesting if I went to school with the actors because I would probably see them walking down the hall and accidentally call them by their Harry Potter names. Then that would be embarrasing.

This was a good interview. It was longer than most of those I see with Dan, Rubert or Emma.
Emma sounds like she is a great person and I wish her the best of luck.

I was aware the younger actors could only work a limited number of hours, but I didn't know they went straight back to school after finishing a scene. That must be so bizarre. One minute in a magical world the next in reality. They must be really balanced kind of people to be able to deal with it. Good on them. I think they did a brilliant job with GoF. There seemed to be much more emotional energy put into their scenes. I really enjoyed it. When Harry brought Cedric's body back and threw himself on top of him my heart was in my throat.
