For actress Emma Watson, the end of Harry Potter film franchise is like “someone is dying”. The 20-year-old, who launched her screen career as a child playing the character Hermione Granger, said the eight-part film series had been an “emotional” journey.
At the National Movie Awards, the cast and producers revealed they were in the last two weeks of shooting the final instalment of the saga. Co-star Daniel Radcliffe, 20, also echoed Watson’s sadness, saying he would be “devastated” when filming ends. However, he said that the films marked his transition to adulthood.
The pair was speaking at the function, where they collected the Special Recognition prize for the series and the Family award for ‘Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince’. “None of us could say that we predicted this kind of love and recognition. It's just incredible,” the Telegraph quoted Watson as saying.
“I'm just so unbelievably proud to have been part of this. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Just watching the compilation of all the past films was really emotional for me. I feel like someone's dying, I know that sounds like an exaggeration but I really do. I'm not planning to do anything this summer - I'm going to need time to collect myself and get myself back together a bit. So I'll take a bit of a break,” she added.
Speaking on life after Hogwarts, Radcliffe added: “It's going to be bizarre. I'm going to be devastated. It's going to be very, very sad because it's been such an important part of my life. There will never be one scene in any of the Harry Potters
that, when I watch it, won't trigger a series of memories about what that day was about and what I was doing. So everything is so linked to my life and growing up. But at the same time, it will be exciting. It puts a pretty nice punctuation mark on my adolescence. I feel grown-up now.”
Emma Watson feels blessed to have J.K. Rowling in her life.
The 'Harry Potter' actress - who plays clever student Hermione Granger in the movie franchise - has grown close to the author behind the boy wizard books and enjoys working with her.
She said: "In the earlier years she was still writing the books and also had a young child, so she was really busy. But now she can be more involved and it's more of a pleasure. She has been around more, and we are quite similar in a way, so she has been nice to talk to. She's been very caring and is genuinely a really lovely woman. It's just wonderful to have her in my life."

The 19-year-old beauty also admitted she will have a "big hole" in her life when the 'Harry Potter' films come to an end but she is confident the franchise will continue to entertain future generations.
She explained: "Yes, there will be a big hole. But I think you underestimate the longevity of the series. I think they are making a theme park and new generations of children will keep reading the books and hopefully watching the films - everyone has tried to make sure they'll be classics."
Emma Watson was terrified of laughing during her kissing scene with Rupert Grint.
The 'Harry Potter' actress battled through an urge to burst into giggles when she kissed Rupert Grint for the finale of the wizard film franchise and considers the scene to be one of the movie's most comedic moments.
She said: "We were both really nervous about laughing and not being able to take it seriously.
"It was awkward for both of us because we are like siblings - imagine growing up with someone since you were nine.
"It's strange, but I think Rupert and I both really enjoy doing comedy and getting the chance to do that because a lot of the film is so dark and really serious."
The kiss is the finale. I don't want to give too much away... I don't want to ruin it.
The 19-year-old British starlet - who plays the role of Hermione Granger - recently filmed her final scenes with Rupert for the last wizard movie, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'.
Emma says it was nerve-wracking to lock lips with Rupert - who plays Ron Weasley - on camera.
She explained: "We broke the ice by both of us confessing just how nervous we were about doing it, and because we were both in exactly the same boat, we felt exactly the same way about doing it. It was a relief to know we were both going through the same thing.
"The kiss is the finale. I don't want to give too much away... I don't want to ruin it."
Emma Watson finds being called sexy "embarrassing and confusing".
The 18-year-old actress - who plays Hermione in the 'Harry Potter' film franchise - does not want to be known for her looks, and has no interest in starring in raunchy photo-shoots.
I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt
She said: "I find the whole concept of being 'sexy' embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe.
"Then there's the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that's not me. I feel uncomfortable. I'd never go out in a mini-skirt. It's nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn't do that."
Emma adds she does not think women needs to dress in revealing clothes to look attractive, adding it often has the opposite effect.
She explained: "Personally, I don't actually think it's even that sexy. What's sexy about saying, 'I'm here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I've got'? My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder."
"Harry Potter" star Emma Watson has slammed skinny stars as she finds their shape ugly.
According to thesun.co.uk , Emma said she doesn't want to look like ultra thin stars such as the Olsen twins or Keira Knightley.
The 18-year-old said: "I don't think it's very pretty to be really, really, skinny. It's not inspirational at all for me. I'm lucky and I'm this size naturally. I don't diet and I don't aspire to be super skinny. I just don't think it's very pretty."
She said she enjoys food too much and can never be too thin.
She added: "Even if I wanted to be that skinny, I love food and I love cooking and I love sitting down and having nice meals, so it just wouldn't be possible for me."
Brit actress Emma Watson has revealed that she finds US starlets her age bitchier than the ones in UK.
Watson also said that life in Britain was totally different, and that a bitchy attitude was never tolerated there.
Gosh, I could never be that bitchy! I think that living in England, it’’s very disconnected from Hollywood, the Daily Express quoted her as saying.
There’s a very different approach and attitude towards it. Acting in a starry way is just not tolerated. You will just have the piss taken out of you. People will just laugh at you, she said.
The 18-year-old Harry Potter star admitted that she enjoyed visiting California and loved to go there for work.
She, however, said that a permanent move was something she had not thought about as yet.
Never say never, but I can”t imagine it. I think that it’’s a wonderful lifestyle that you have here - the weather is amazing and everyone seems very healthy. It seems like a really nice place to live, she told AOL’’s Moviefone.com
Obviously, if I had a film here or whatever, then that would be great. But I don”t really know a lot of people here, she added.
The 18-year-old star Emma Watson hasn't ruled out shedding her clothes for a film role, but would only agree if she was asked by renowned Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci. She recently did an interview with The Times where she said that she would go naked for a good movie role. Here is an excerpt of the article:
Emma Watson would go nude, for Bernardo Bertolucci. It depends. I'm not taking my clothes off anytime soon, but it is part of my job.
The "Harry Potter" actress also revealed she is struggling to fit into the movie industry at the moment because of her age. She added to Britain's Style magazine:
I am at a strange age. I'm not a woman yet, but I'm not a girl anymore. Film companies say, 'Oh, in a couple of years you will be perfect for this.' I'll be like, 'Yeah, but I want to be studying English at university then, so it's going to be tough to choose between the two.
I hope she will not end up like Megan Fox or Marisa Miller, or on the cover of Playboy.
