Emma Watson: "I'd like to do some stage work because I love to sing and dance"

[Version française]

How have you changed since the last Harry Potter film?

Emma: We've just been getting older and maturing.

Adolescence is hard enough, but you have to do it in the public eye?

Emma: There was a rather awkward hug with myself and Ron (Rupert Grint). On the exterior Hermione and Ron spend the whole film just arguing because Ron is convinced that Hermione's cat has eaten his pet rat. But I think it's a cover up really they have a bit of a soft spot for each other and it's a classic love hate relationship to tease the ones you like.

How are you dealing with teenage angst?

Emma: Daniel and I both have very supportive families. I'm trying to do exactly what I do before I even started the film. Between films I always go back to school, I see all my friends, I play sport and I go to normal teenage parties. All of my money is locked away in a bank until I'm twenty-five and I'm never going to see it until then! I have good friends and family who keep my feet on the ground and keep it real.

How did you handle Richard Harris' death and the replacement of Michael Gambon as Dumbledore?

Emma: Obviously it's very hard to follow on for Richard Harris. He was a perfect Dumbledore. Michael (Gambon) did a really great job instead of trying to make himself look exactly like Richard Harris or try and copy him, he did his own thing with it and he's put a different spin on it. He's a more mischievous Dumbledore.

What was it like working with Gary Oldman?

Emma: Dan almost bit my head off when I said at the beginning when he said, 'Gary Oldman has been cast as Sirius Black.' I said, 'who?' Now I know that is the most terrible thing that I could possible say ever! Even though I didn't know him, he's great.

Emma, in the film your character Hermione Granger gets to teach the obnoxious Malfoy a lesson by punching him in the nose. How much fun was that?

Emma: (laughs) I loved it. I loved every single second of it. Girl power, it was great! I would've done it for a whole week but we got in a couple of takes. I wanted to do it again! It was fantastic. It is a great moment. It was cool. ) I hope I've done justice to her character because it's my favorite book and it's such a great part for her in the third book.

What are your future ambitions? Do you have any political ambitions?

Emma: My ambitions couldn't have even dreamed of the scale and the greatness that Harry Potter is so I feel really lucky about that. There are so many different aspects of the film world that I might end up doing. I'm just going to go with the flow and see what happens. I'd like to do some stage work because I love to sing and dance and I love the adrenaline rush that you get when you're right there on stage with an audience responding to you.

Did you fulfill any fantasies of meeting somebody famous?

Emma: Someone I was dying to work with was Emma Thompson who got cast as the part of Professor Trelawney (the quirky spiritualist in the film) because I love her. She did a really great job. She is hilarious. I had really good fun with her because she was very creative and very involving with me. It was really flattering for her to involve me like that.
