This is the same room where Princess Grace and the Duchess of Windsor used to party, but come to think of it, neither of them had nearly the audience of 21-year-old Miss Watson. Her short-cropped pixie cut is a sign of her new independence. On the day she learned her “Harry Potter” scenes were over, she cut her hair. “It feels cool,” she said as she ran her hands through it. She lamented the fact that producers who plan to feature her in upcoming movies are requiring that she let it grow out again. “I’m more excited about being an actress now than I’ve ever been,” she said. “Earlier on, I wasn’t sure.” She was the last holdout in signing a contract to make the last three “Potter” movies, in which she plays the best friend of Harry (Daniel Radcliffe
and Ron (Rupert Grint). She worried she hadn’t done much acting so far. “There is so much of me in Hermione that I couldn’t tell the difference. Her earnestness. Her energy. Her desire to do the right thing. Her determination. She and I both would always speak our mind.” There’s a crucial difference, Watson said. “Hermione is smarter than me. But I’ll get there.” Watson remains enrolled at Brown University in the States but will enter England’s Oxford University in the fall. “I”m still a student at Brown,” she said. “It’s just that I’ll spend my third year abroad – at Oxford. Then I’ll return to Brown to complete my last year.” That’s the plan, anyway, but her plans have changed before. She gave up her Christmas holidays to return to do new scenes for “Potter.
Then she got a movie offer and pulled out of school for the semester. “I wanted to be free to give a proper farewell to 10 years of work that will always be the most important of my life – probably,” she said. Her last scene shot for “Harry Potter” was different from some of her cast mates’. “There were last scenes for some and then for others,” she said. “There were times we thought it was over, and then we had to come back for reshoots. My actual last scene was one in which Dan and Rupert and I jumped into a fireplace.” Director David Yates “told us it was prophetic in that we were jumping into the future.”emma watson kiss
