Sugar Covered Quills

She has played one of the infamous trio in Harry Potter and now Emma Watson aka Hermione Granger is ready to move on the next chapter of her life – university. Emma is almost done in filming her scenes in the last Harry Potter films, The Deathly Hallows and come September, she is slated to start university at Brown.

But before she left Potter behind, she spoke first with OK! Magazine on how it was growing Potter, on fame, boys and university. Here is an excerpt of her interview:

You and co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint were all over 18 filming this movie. How was it different from the other movies?
Well, we had longer working hours. But none of us have started drinking coffee or smoking. Definitely no alcohol!

The film focuses on a lot of awoken hormones. Did you draw on your own experiences?
It’s fun because we’re all maybe a year or two older than our characters are, so I feel as though I’ve experienced everything first. Sometimes I have to bring myself back to Hermione because she’s so innocent and very vulnerable in this film.

Daniel Radcliffe has said that the atmosphere on set was ‘horny’…
Horny? I don’t know what to say! When we were younger, we were always going back and forward from school filming so it wasn’t like Dan and Rupert were the only boys in my life.

I know it would be of huge media interest if there was a pairing between us, but the three of us have grown up together and are just like siblings.

Have you made many romantic gestures in your time?

Goodness, I don’t think I have. That’s quite bad isn’t it? I did ask out my first boyfriend, but that’s as good as it’s got!

Now you’re grown up do you worry about the way you behave and look?
I don’t feel pressure to alter my appearance in any way, but being a girl, the media is more interested in what I choose to wear. People care about what I put on my body, which is strange.

You’ve been acting from a young age. Do you feel you’ve missed out on anything?
I think it’s difficult to talk about the things that we’ve missed when we’ve gained so much. We  had to grow up a lot quicker, but the whole experience has been so amazing and unique.

If there were a new batch of Harry Potter films in 20 years, would you want to take part?
Never say never, but I would hope I would’ve moved on by the time they do a remake.

So what lies ahead for you?
At the end of August, I’m going to university in the States. I’m very excited and looking forward to a bit of normality for a while. But that doesn’t mean I’m never going to go to work again or act again. Anything is possible.

Teen Magazine Seventeen asked Tom Felton aka Draco Malfoy seventeen questions raging from his first kiss, crushes, to his Potter character, to his many life experiences and many more. Here is an example:

How old were you when you had your first kiss?

I think I was 12, and it was Spin the Bottle. Everyone was like, “Have you been kissed before?” And I was like, “Yeah, I’m a professional!” I was so nervous, and the bottle landed on me. The kiss was okay, but not too memorable.

Who’s your celebrity crush?

Megan Fox. I’m being suckered in by the Transformers pictures right now. I’ve seen her on the red carpet and in pictures, and she does look gorgeous. I’m glad my girlfriend’s not in the room to hear me say that.

What’s the chick flick you secretly love?

The Notebook. My girlfriend got me into it, but the way the story is told is beautiful. I’ve watched it about three or four times now. I didn’t cry, even though my girlfriend was crying all the way through it. It wasn’t a sad film; it was a beautiful film.

Who would play you in the movie version of your life?

I’ll be hugely arrogant and say Brad Pitt. No! It’s impossible to say — Robert Pattinson? Well, I’d like to say myself, really. I don’t think there’s anyone out there who could quite embody me — although I am a big fan of lots of British actors.

Stunt sequences for The Deathly Hallows were shot Thursday and Friday night in Dartford Tunnel in Kent, England. Stunt doubles of Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) were seen riding a motorcycle (Sirius’s motorcycle) and were riding against the traffic. Both actors were not on-set but Harry’s double was seen pointing his wand at some unknown enemy.
