Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1 was the beginning of the end for the Harry Potter movies. Over the years, the movies had gotten progressively darker as the characters matured, lives were lost, and the Dark Lord Voldemort came closer to taking over the Wizarding World. Still, despite the departure from the early days of pure delight at magic, one thing never changed: The cast breaking into giggle fits on set. Even after years of playing Hermione Granger, Emma Watson still couldn't hold a straight face through one particular scene.
It's late in the movie, when Harry, Ron, and Hermione visit Luna Lovegood's house and meet her dad, Xenophilius (Rhys Ifans). He tells them about the three magical items called the Deathly Hallows but then tries to hand the trio over to the Death Eaters in exchange for his daughter. It's a somber scene, dimly lit and heavy with the weight of Luna's absence, but for Watson, that tone took a great deal of work to maintain.
While filming the scene, Emma Watson simply could not stop breaking into giggles. Luna's absence and Xenophilius' impending betrayal made for a lot of tension, or, as actor Rhys Ifans put it: There's these scenes where we have these kind of very embarrassing English pregnant pauses and they're always the kiss of death for an actor. Just the sound of slurping at their drinks was enough to set Watson off. In British terms, this breaking into unintentional laughter in the midst of a scene is called corpsing.
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1': Ew Review
Watson corpsed so much that she was given a red card as a penalty. In a behind-the-scenes interview, Watson said that she usually doesn't have problems with corpsing, but that something about this scene really got her. I just couldn't keep it together, she said. Usually, Rupert Grint, who plays Ron, was the serial offender and Watson was the class pet, as she put it. Luckily, Rhys is a very nice guy and found the whole thing amusing, Watson said. He actually nicknamed me 'Giggles' at the end of the three days.
Eventually, though, she made it through and the final take is very serious. By the time she was going through her worst filming experience for Deathly Hallows — Part 2, that scene probably looked like a piece of cake.NEW YORK—Hermione Granger is keenly intelligent, unfailingly resourceful, ever logical, both a tad bossy and a tad insecure, and she believes in using her powers for good. Or maybe, in fact, that’s the actor, Emma Watson. Even she can’t really say for certain.
“I feel that so much of me went into her and so much of her went into me, I can’t really differentiate too much anymore, ” Watson says, pondering the character she’s played in eight Harry Potter films, including the latest and (supposedly) last,

Playing a very famous character in a very famous film series for more than half of one’s 21 years, who wouldn’t get a wee bit confused about just where the actor ends and the character begins? Or vice versa. The character, of course, is novelist J. K. Rowling’s fictional creation, a girl wizard who wields a wand and casts spells like a champ. The actor, meanwhile, is sitting in a room in New York’s Waldorf Astoria hotel, answering questions about her counterpart and herself and about what, exactly, she will do now that she won’t be playing herself as Hermione anymore—or playing Hermione as herself.
She is wearing a Givenchy halter minidress involving tiers of black ostrich feathers, a confection that it’s tricky to imagine Hermione willingly stepping into. Her hair is a slightly longer version of the Mia Farrow–style pixie cut she suddenly appeared in—to much attention and some flak—last summer. What look like diamonds dangle from her ears. In person, Watson appears more delicate than she does on-screen, her British accent more precise, her manner almost painfully sincere and sweet. One is reminded that despite being an actor who earned $15, 000, 000 for each of the last two Potter films, she is still very young.
“The last shot we did was this kind of strange moment where we dive into the fireplace in the Ministry of Magic, ” she says, when asked what was her big final moment of filming on the series she began as a rather bushy-haired nine-year-old so long ago. “Dan, Rupert, and I one by one jumped onto these blue safety mats, basically. And that was the shot. That was it. It seemed like kind of a strange one to go out on, but actually David [Yates, the director] made the point that we were, like, leaping into the unknown. It was kind of like a perfect metaphor for what we were all about to go into. It’s so funny. I can’t tell you how I felt when we were shooting it. I was just kind of numb.”

Before leaping into the unknown of real life, the trio of young actors—Watson, Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, and Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley—was required to do something possibly trickier in Deathly Hallows parts one and two than jumping onto blue safety mats. As the films ramped up to a climactic battle between wizards good and bad, Watson found herself having to actually, well, emote. The “darker” films were an opportunity to “stretch”, she says, “and really feel like I was an actress and like I was acting, because actually for the first how many years, I didn’t really feel like I was doing much acting at all.”
Not long ago, questions of whether she could act and whether, after the series cast its final spell, she would act again still lurked in her mind, as dark and scary as the films’ evil Dementors. She took a deep breath, figuratively speaking. Then she took her first role ever (not counting a voice-over in
“I was so nervous doing a different accent, being on a new movie set in a foreign country, with a crew that I didn’t know and a cast I didn’t know, ” she says. One scene required her to mimic Susan Sarandon’s Janet in

. “I’m standing in a corset in front of all of these extras, trying to do this dance. And I felt ridiculous.”
But in the end, “I had the best six weeks. Having an experience like that outside of Harry Potter was what really convinced me that acting really was what I should be doing and that I was good at it. I’m excited about being an actress now in a way that I wasn’t so sure of when I was younger.” She thinks. “Sometimes you’ve just got to blast through and have faith.”
Watson will attend Oxford in the fall, continuing studies she began at Brown University. She’s nowhere near her 22nd birthday and yet she’s been famous for as long as she can remember, in places she once couldn’t imagine. “I was in a shantytown in Bangladesh, ” she says, “and a boy stopped me in the street and said: ”˜You’re the girl from Harry Potter.’ I was like, ”˜Wow, I
