Actress Emma Watson has admitted she used to cause problems on the Harry Potter set in Leavesden, England – by always disappearing to explore the studios. The 21-year-old star, who plays Hermione Granger in all eight of the wizarding films, says she used to run away from the assistant directors all the time. Emma told Entertainment Weekly magazine: “One of the hardest things about working in Leavesden was that people always needed to know where you were. Especially when I was younger, that used to drive me nuts. “So I used to hide from the assistant directors, who were given the task of knowing my whereabouts every single moment of the day. There was an orchard, a line of apple trees, on one part of the grounds. I would go down and walk around there. Those poor ADs! They must have had nervous breakdowns whenever I would disappear.”

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has admitted she finds handsome men ‘boring’. The 21-year-old may be one of the world’s highest actress and a global superstar, so you would think she could have pretty much any man she wanted. But Emma, who has been single since she split from musician George Craig last year, says she isn’t interested in just good looks. Asked what she looks for in her ideal partner, the Perks of Being a Wallflower actress said: “Kindness, good manners, intelligence, confidence and someone who can make me laugh. “Manners are important. The way I was brought up, my dad is very strict and very focused on that, so if I see anyone be rude to anyone else, it’s an immediate turnoff. I can’t bear it. “I think being polite is quite key for me. Being kind and being aware of people around you is definitely a big one.” The Hollywood star added: “I don’t have a ‘type’. “You could line up photographs of the guys I’ve dated and they all look totally different. You won’t believe me but it’s really very much to do with their personalities. “If someone’s nice to look at, it gets boring after about 10 minutes.” Watson also revealed that she would like one day to become a mother. She told Scottish newspaper the Daily Record: “I have very strong family values and I would definitely hope that marriage and kids would be in my future. I can’t wait to be a mum.”

Harry Potter actress Emma Watson said she was shocked when she was told she was a millionairess. Watson, 20, said her father had a conversation with her two or three years ago when he told her about how much she had earned by starring in the wizarding movie series. Up to that point she had been living on an allowance of just £50 a week. Speaking to Britain’s Vogue magazine, she said: “By the third or fourth film, the money was starting to get… serious. I had no idea. I felt sick, very emotional.” The actress plays the role of Hermione Granger and she said she can finally be herself now that filming has ended. She said: “For the nine years I was on Harry Potter I was contractually obliged not to cut my hair, not to tan. All the normal things girls do, I couldn’t. So when I got the chance to change my appearance, this is what I did.”

Harry Potter star Emma Watson was hit by a Harvard stalking campaign.
The actress was left ‘quite shaken’ after she was singled out by Harvard students at a university American football match.
Watson needed security guards to protect her from gawkers when she went to see Brown’s defeat against rivals Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Saturday.
Students at the prestigious university had organised a campaign to draw as much attention to Watson as possible through the Harvard Voice magazine.
Watson is in her first year at Brown University, which is based in Rhode Island.
“We will be Live-Tweetin’ the game and possibly be stalking Emma Watson, so keep your eyes peeled for that too!’ the magazine blogged before the match, which finished 24-21.
They then posted a series of Tweets throughout the game when they found Watson in the stands.

Harry Potter actress Emma Watson has admitted she is a “jeans” and “ballet flats” kind of girl.
Emma, 19, has previously been spotted in Chanel for premieres and posh events but she admitted she like to be casual on a day-to-day basis.
She said: “I live, really, in jeans from Topshop, blazers from Ralph Lauren or Reiss, and ballet flats.”
She added: “It’s very hard to describe your own style. And I’m young, so I’m still experimenting. But I think it’s quite British and very much about individuality.”
Emma also admitted she doesn’t like to look “perfect” and prefers to wear something more individual.
She said: “There’s nothing interesting about looking perfect – you lose the point. You want what you’re wearing to say something about you, about who you are.”

Harry Potter star Emma Watson is hoping university life gives her a break from the public eye.
The 19-year-old actress, who is famous for her role as Hermione Granger in the hit film series, is planning to enrol at university later this year once filming ends on the Harry Potter films.
She said: “I’m so excited. Living in London, it’s hard to be anonymous. But hopefully, on some campus somewhere, I’ll fade into the background a bit.”
Emma admitted there is an appeal to studying in America as she would have more privacy.
She said: “I’m very aware that with Cambridge, people would find that interesting.
“Cambridge is so high profile in itself and then, on top of that, people don’t really go out in Cambridge because it’s so small, so I’ll be going out in London and then that’s just the same thing. I definitely am attracted to the States for that reason.”
Talking about filming the final Potter film, Emma admitted a big chapter is coming to an end.
She said: “It’s going to sound dramatic, but I feel like it’s going to be my life over as I know it. My whole life has been about Harry Potter and then all of that will shut down and I don’t know what it will be like.
“I go to university in September – I’ll be doing bits and bobs at Christmas, but September feels like my cut-off point, the moment when I’ll really stop.”

Harry Potter star Emma Watson said she may give up acting after finishing the hit film series.
Emma, 19, plays the role of teenage witch Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series and said she may not return to acting when she finished shooting the flicks.
She said: “Until something comes along that I feel as strongly as I did Hermione – like, I felt that it was life or death – I don’t want to act again.”
Emma is currently promoting the next film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, as well as shooting the final two flicks.
She said: “I don’t think I’ve ever been this tired in my life. I literally wear my pyjama bottoms to set. I roll out of bed and put on a hoodie and some Ugg boots.”
Emma also confirmed rumours she is dating financier Jay Barrymore, 25, and dismissed rumours they have repeatedly split.
She said: “The only reason it’s ‘on/off’ is because the papers make up so much rubbish.”
Emma has made no secret of her plans to attend university once shooting has wrapped on the films but she is keeping quiet about which university she is attending.
She said: “I just want to keep it private for as long as I can. I probably sound like a paranoid nut, but I’m doing this because I want to be normal. I really want anonymity.”

The actress from “Harry Potter” has denied the rumors that she will be going to the American University. Or rather, it is Emma Watson’s official website that denies these rumors since it is there that one can read the following statement: There have been several rumors spreading recently that Emma has accepted a place at Yale University after ‘telling her fans via her Twitter account.’ Emma does not have a Twitter account and these rumors are false. Emma is still trying to decide whether she wants to attend university in the UK or the USA and hasn’t accepted any placements at this time.” It is times like these that you are forced to imagine the power that website administrators and internet navigators have. Emma Watson may very well be studying seal hunting in Alaska and the world will be left with the impression that she’s somewhere else… unless nobody decides to look into the matter.

She said she is lucky getting this size but said she is does not dream of being super skinny as she doe snot find that body shape attractive at all. Watson admitted that even if she wanted to be reed-thin she would never achieve that because she loves everything about food including cooking and eating them.
The Harry Potter series made has made Watson a millionaire ten times over and has brought her awards. She will be seen as a more grown up Hermione in the “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” in 2009. She will also be included in the two-part “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”. However, it is not only Harry Potter that’s keeping her busy these days because she was also seen last year in “The Tale of Despereaux”.
