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.

Emma is a truly great person. I agree with her about Director Mike Newell. Even with all of the special effects, there is no movie without the actors. I think it would be awesome to see Emma finish out the series and continue her dreams to keep acting on both films and stage!!

Well, you learn something new everyday...... I never knew she was only allowed work a certain amount of hours per day. Them hours should include school, because school is work.

Emma's true fan and lover says:
Good to hear that she wants to continue acting, she's got a ton of movies in her career. I've read so many of her interviews that even though my screen name suggests that I am wherever Emma is , and it's true, I just can't read the whole interview.
But she's still the best.

She acts way more mature than her age would indicate - I like that, I can't stand little girly teenage girls who only care about whether they're cute or not and what boys like them. I'm quite pleased she seems so mature actually :) But then again I'm probably just old now...
