Emma Watson: 'Harry Potter filming made me cry'



Emma Watson has admitted that filming the final Harry Potter movie was "decidedly unglamorous" at times.

The actress - who has played Hermione Granger in the eight films based on J.K. Rowling's books - told TV Times that shooting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two had been physically demanding for her and co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.

"There were days when I was in tears," she confessed. "I was begging David [Yates, director] but he just said, 'It looks so much better that you guys seem more vulnerable'. And he's right, it does look great on screen.

"We're kind of like bedraggled, unlikely heroes. It works, but there were times when I just wanted to kill him!"

She continued: "People who are close to me know, they so know, that there were days when it was decidedly unglamorous. And I was so tired, I would fall asleep anywhere.

"They'll never be released, but the on-set photographer has pictures of me falling asleep everywhere - on chairs, on the floor, in the middle of the set, all curled up."

However, Watson went on to add that Hermione is now closer to her "own personality" after playing her for over a decade.

"David wanted a really honest performance, she said. "It was lovely to play - I feel like earlier on I played a parody of myself. She was kind of this big personality and she's developed into someone much more human."

Watson recently insisted that there is no truth to reports that she took time out from Brown University due to bullying from fellow students.
