Forget memorizing lines for the next Harry Potter movie, English actress Emma Watson has some serious homework to finish. Watson, 15, plays Hermione in the "Harry Potter" movies and will start making the fifth film in February. Until then, she'll be in school, cramming for exams like everyone else. And while Hermione adores studying, Watson isn't so thrilled about her exams. At school, Watson also plays field hockey. And to keep in touch with Potter pals such as Daniel Radcliffe and Katie Leung during breaks, she sends text messages. KidNews talked to Watson recently about homework, the holidays and Hermione.
Q. How will you spend the holidays?
Unfortunately, my exams are in January. For Christmas, I will be doing revising. Ugh. But still . . . [I will enjoy] just celebrating Christmas, having a bit of time off. Seeing friends and family.
Q. Which exams are you worried about?
My worst subject is chemistry. It's a killer--I hate it. My favorite subject is probably art, maybe English. But yeah, chemistry is the one that is a killer, and geography coursework is pretty painful at the moment as well.
Q. What did you think of the new Harry Potter video game?
I thought it was good. Kind of creepy though, 'cause for the first time they actually look like us. Which is kind of weird for me. . . . I was shown [the game] when I was on the set.
Q. Have you brought home any of the new "Goblet of Fire" toys?
No. I wouldn't want to because it's really creepy having dolls of myself. That's weird.
Q. What do you do when someone buys you a Harry Potter-themed gift?
I've had some things like Harry Potter T-shirts, and I just can't get away with wearing [them]. Among my friends at school, I'd get teased. I can't really wear them. I try not to; you can't rub it in people's faces too much.
Q. When the sixth Potter book came out, how did you get it?
I went and queued up like everyone else. I read it in two days flat. I loved it. I got it at an airport . . . a couple days after it came out so the queues [lines] weren't too big. So I got away with it. . . . I didn't really have the chance to get recognized.
