R.: I'm Radhika Jones, from Time, and I'm here with Emma Watson, who's starring in the new movie Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows part 1. Thanks so much for being here, Emma!

E.: Thank you for having me.

R.: Ahm, so, I think we've had a record number of questions for you: 1600. So we'd better get started. We've narrowed them down and I'm gonna start with a very girly question for you:

Q1: You look amazing with the new do. What made you cut it?

E.: I think I just needed a change, you know... I'd had my hair long for ten years when I was playing Hermione and then, when I finished filming I just, I needed to... I just  had to do something different.

Q2: How would you describe yourself before Harry Potter and after Harry Potter? Obviously you've grown...

E: That's a huge question because, before I did Harry Potter I was ten years old, and now I'm twenty years old. So, obviously, you know, all the changes that go hand-in-hand with, you know, growing up, physical changes, emotional changes... But in terms of how Harry Potter has affected my life, I've learned how to be an actress! You know... I was - as they say, I was so young that when I first started out(?), the director would, you know, litterally have to direct me as the camera was rolling, you know? And really stir me in a big way. And now I can make my own choices and I have my own instincts about it and I know how a film set runs and works and, just how a movie is made so, I think that's pretty huge.

Q3: That said, Mairead Horton from Cary, North Carolina wonders: Would you consider a profession outside of acting?

E: I think, ahm, I want a...the difficulty with me is that I'm interested in so many different things... I can never really imagine myself doing one thing... and I'm pretty sure that I'll end up doing four or five different things. I wanna be a renaissance woman. That's my - that's my thing: I wanna paint and I wanna write and I wanna act and I want to, just do everything!

Q4: Why did you choose to attend Brown?

E: Because I loved its - kind of - liberal approach to an education and  I love the sense of community that there is there and the anonimity that I have over in the States... I just think it has just such a great atmosphere. I don't know, I just... I really love it. It feels like home now.

R.: You're in your sophomore year?

E: Yes.

R.: That's great.

Q5: Question from Tori Dailey, in Jacksonville, Florida: What was the last day of filming like?

E: It was really emotional. It was, it felt very surreal. It almost felt like an outter-body experience because I felt like it's been coming for such a long time and, I felt like, I'd spoken about it so much and thought about it so much but when it acually arrived, it just didn't feel real. It was like, very hard to process, so... it was weird.

R.: How much time elapsed between that day and the day you cut your hair?

E: I think I left like, two or three weeks...? I needed like, enough time to kind of, find my feet. And then I was like, "Right... now I'm ready. It's time." I think you have to be in a really good frame of mind to do something so drastic to your appearance, you know? And I needed to be in a really good place and when I was feeling very confident I was like "Right, I'm gonna... I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna cut it all off!"

Q6: If you could run away from all the bother of being a celebrity for one day, where would you go and what would you do?

E: I guess just like, go and stand in the middle of a mosh pit, in a rock concert. 'Cause like, I usually can't get away with that. Because people tend to recognize me and then things get a little crazy. So, you know, just be in the middle of a big crowd, I guess. And just be anonymous.

R.: Well, that sounds like maybe that's happening a little bit in college...

E: It is, actually. College, ahm... Brown (?) has been amazing! I really get left alone there, so I'm really grateful.

R.: Have you had to choose a major yet?

E.: Yes! I'll major in History.

R.: Oh, that's great!

E: Yeah, I'm really very excited.

Q7.: One more, from Erica Bode, in Arlington, Texas: You had doubts about continuing to play Hermione after the fifth movie was finished... How do you feel your life would have been altered if you had decided not to return tor the last three films?

E: I think I'd probably have been public enemy number one! And I would not have been very popular! I think I would've... I think I would've found it very difficult watching the movies being made without me being part of them. 'Cause I grew up making them. They're like, part of... Being part of that film franchise feels like part of my identity in a way.

Things certainly would have been a little easier for... I would have gotten a lot more sleep and, things would have been, maybe, less hectic. But, I definetely made the right decision.

R.: Is here a role that you would really like to play?

E; Ahm, tons! Which one to choose? I would love to play Juliette, in Romeo and Juliette.

R.: Well, I hope casting directors are watching and listening.

E.: Yes, me too!

R.: So nice to have you here, Emma. Thank you so much!

E.: You too, thank you so much. Thank you.

R.: Really nice to meet you.
