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's great that Emma is still going to school and doing normal things. I like how she still seems so down to earth, even with all of the fame. That's great!

That was cute..I think that emma is such a good little actress and she and the boys should continue with the rest of the movies because it wouldn't be the same if they changed the charactors half way through the series.

She always knows exactly what to say and thas one think I like about Emma.What she said about Newell was correct,And soecial effects dont make the movie themselves.All the actors are maturing,and I wonder what they will all be like when the seventh movie comes.
Thanks for the interview HPANA!

Very interesting. She is really becoming quite the young lady. She has some very grown up insights and points of view.

I like the views of the younger actor/tress(es) they have for any movie they are in.It gives a perspective on how it is different from adults to young adults/children.

I love the interviews! I wish there was more, I wonder how many hours she goes on set? That must be tuff, both shooting a movie and doing school work at the same time.

Cool! More interviews doesn't bother me one bit! I like hearing what the stars have to say and it's usually different with each interview thankfully! I like reading interviews with Emma - she's seems very down-to-earth but very intelligent.

I'm so happy that people are still interviewing the cast of Harry Potter. Normally they're just really famous right when the movie is coming out, but this time they're getting way more publicity!

Emma seems quite knowledgeable and experienced now, I guess growing up in movies since the age of 10 and spending six years in the movie biz would do that to a girl
