A great collection of quotes from Emma Watson, the young actress who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter Movies.
About the boys (Dan and Rupert) — We get along great, but I don’t have a crush on them. I know them too well. I do have to keep them on their toes and show them who’s boss. —Emma Watson
I really love animals and enjoy working with them. —Emma Watson
It is curled and boofed up [for the movie]. I have a hair-piece, too. It is not a wig! —Emma Watson (talking about Hermione’s hair)
My nickname is ‘One-Take Watson’ – I’d always get my scene done in one take…well,not always. The boys had them,too: ‘Do-it-again Dan’ and ‘Go-again Grint’. —Emma Watson
To cry, you do a staring competition at wall: keep your eyes open until they start to water. To smile, you just have to think of a happy thought. A mixture of Brad Pitt and chocolate normally makes me smile. —Emma Watson
Hermione uses all these big long tongue twister words. I don’t know what she’s going on about half the time! —Emma Watson
I was envious of Dan because he gets to work in the final chamber, and that’s a stunning set. —Emma Watson
Oh my God, no, no chance, no chance. That’s not in my contract! —Emma Watson (talking about kissing her co-stars)
I felt really uncomfortable but Daniel’s such a great actor and he told me to relax and I got used to it. His advice was don’t let everything go to my head – just be level-headed. —Emma Watson
More than just friends, they’ve become like brothers. Or sisters, I don’t know. In fact, I don’t see them like normal boys. I mean that I cannot imagine me going out with one of them. For me, they are like my best friends. I can laugh and talk about everything with them without any taboo. I really like them a lot. —Emma Watson (talking about co-Stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint(Ron Weasley)).
I become a cat in one scene! I loved that, because I have two cats at home. —Emma Watson
My character also gets a crush on her teacher. Now, I really had a hard time with that, because the teacher was played as such an irritating character. But Hermione is supposed to be so lovey-dovey about him that she’s oblivious to his flaws, so that’s the way I had to play it. It was tough! —Emma Watson
I can relate completely to how Hermione reacts when Ron doesn’t ask her to the dance and then how elated she is when Viktor does. —Emma Watson
If anyone else played Hermione, it would actually kill me. —Emma Watson
My friends are all really nice about my fame, they’re just curious really, they ask lots of questions. —Emma Watson
It’s important to read because it’s really good for your [vocabulary]. It’s really good for your imagination. I enjoy reading because I find it relaxing. —Emma Watson
I hope you’re pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed – or worse, expelled. —Emma Watson (as Hermione in ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’)
I didn’t know there were so many ways you could walk down stairs until the day we filmed Hermione’s entrance into the Yule Ball Hall. —Emma Watson
I just couldn’t believe it! It’s really weird seeing myself, like, really big. [on the movie screen] —Emma Watson
They all ask the same questions! You don’t even need to think, you can just stand there like a broken record going LALALALA… —Emma Watson (talking about reporters)
I really enjoyed making the film and I’d love to think that people would look up to me. That’s very flattering. —Emma Watson
For goodness sake, Hermione and Ron just need to get it together! It’s just been so long now! —Emma Watson
Most people are really nice but some stare, like you’re some kind of zoo exhibit and not a real person with real feelings. Even when you take away all the glamour and attention and premieres and everything, it still comes down to the fact that I’m acting. —Emma Watson
I get recognized, but you get used to that. There are worse things than being recognized. —Emma Watson
Though I love playing Hermione, I definitely don’t want Harry Potter to be the last thing that I do in this business. —Emma Watson
I’ve always loved acting, singing, performing, debating; but it never occurred to me that fame coincided with those things. I was never one of those kids who wanted everybody to know my name. —Emma Watson
I still need to make my bed! —Emma Watson
It was unbelievable seeing me as an action figure! In a few months, toddlers all around the country will be biting my head off! —Emma Watson
I hope my head doesn’t get very big. I’m just going to keep my feet on the ground, stick to friends and family and try and lead a normal life. —Emma Watson
It took me three films to get Hermione in jeans. To get out of the robes with the tights and the itchy jumpers. Whoo-hoo! —Emma Watson
This is Harry Potter at its finest, even if it is a different Harry Potter from what we have been used to. Fear and sadness are expertly portrayed, and no matter how much you love or hate the book you’ll have a hard time not getting drawn into this movie. —Emma Watson
There are so many scripts and they are fantastic. I think I would like to do something different, maybe something smaller. —Emma Watson
There has been a lot of speculation abut whether we’re going to outgrow our parts but it works out really well because each one takes about a year. —Emma Watson
I would make myself invisible so I could sneak into concerts and be near rock stars. —Emma Watson
Neville comes up to me with his toad, Trevor, and says, ‘Do you want to kiss Trevor goodnight?’. Every time he did this I burst into laughter. I was supposed to give him an ‘I hate you’ look, but I couldn’t help myself. It took me about eight takes to get it. —Emma Watson
I could be 100 years old and in my rocker, but I’ll still be very proud that I was part of the Harry Potter films. —Emma Watson
