BiographyDistinctive FeaturesHas her hair either wavey or stright :: Long dark blonde (Dirty blonde) hair :: Wears her hair put back sometimesFriends and FamilyRobert Pattinson [Friend] :: Evanna Lynch [Friend] :: Chris Watson [Father] :: Jacqueline Watson [Mother] :: Matthew Lewis [Friend] :: Katie Leung [Friend] :: Bonnie Wright [Friend] :: Devon Murray [Friend] :: Rupert Grint [Friend] :: Tom Felton [Friend] :: Alex Watson [Brother] :: Daniel Radcliffe [Friend]Trivia and QuotesQuotes It took me three films to get Hermione in jeans. To get out of the robes with the tights and the itchy jumpers. Whoo-hoo! It was unbelievable seeing me as an action figure! In a few months, toddlers all around the country will be biting my head off! My friends are all really nice about my fame, they`re just curious really, they ask lots of questions. [Hardest scene]: Neville comes up to me with his toad, Trevor, and says, "Do you want to kiss Trevor goodnight?" Every time he did this I burst into laughter. I was supposed to give him an "I hate you" look, but I couldn`t help myself. It took me about eight takes to get it. [in response to a reporter asking her whether she always wore pigtails]: I never wear pigtails, I wear plaits. [On how her character, Hermione Granger, has matured]: She`s rock and roll. She`s feisty. Girl power! [On kissing her co-stars]: Oh my God, no, no chance, no chance. That`s not in my contract! [On reporters asking the same questions over and over]: That`s the good thing about them! They all ask exactly the same questions and you can say exactly the same answers! You don`t have to think, you can just stand there like a broken record going LALALA. [on working with boys]: I like being around mixed company. Dan (Daniel Radcliffe) and Rupert (Rupert Grint) definitely make their fair share of cheeky comments about me being girlie, but it`s all in good fun Hermione uses all these big long tongue twister words, I don`t know what she`s going on about half the time! I could be 100 years old and in my rocker, but i`ll still be very proud that I was part of the Harry Potter films. I get sent Bibles. I have a collection of about 20 in my room. People think I need to be guided. I hope my head doesn`t get very big. I`m just going to keep my feet on the ground, stick to friends and family and try and lead a normal life. I love fashion. I think it`s so important, because it`s how you show yourself to the world. [If she`d sooner have a great Hollywood career or a great marriage]: Hmmmmm... Can`t I have both? But if I would really have to choose, then I`d pick a great marriage. I think it would be amazing if I would get to play beautiful parts and win Oscars, but that would all mean nothing if my parents and friends weren`t there with me. What is success when you don`t have anybody to love? No, I`d rather be happily married. [On being a known actress]: Most people are really nice but some stare, like you`re some kind of zoo exhibit and not a real person with real feelings. Even when you take away all the glamour and attention and premieres and everything, it still comes down to the fact that I`m acting. [On her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, who play Harry and Ron]: More than just friends, they`ve become like brothers. Or sisters, I don`t know. In fact, I don`t see them like normal boys. I mean that I cannot imagine me going out with one of them. For me, they are like my best friends. I can laugh and talk about everything with them without any taboo. I really like them a lot [On other roles]: Now that I`ve played the snotty, bossy, posh Hermione Granger, I`d like to play some American high school girl. I want to play something totally different. I want to play every kind of character and every point of view, but I`m probably going to be playing Hermione for a while. [On watching the earlier movies]: It`s like baby photos... I look like a chipmunk!Trivia She has met Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Sean Biggerstaff, Alan Rickman, Katie Leung, Maggie Smith, Richard Harris, Robbie Coltrane,Verne Troyer, John Hurt, Warwick Davis,Tom Felton, Ian Hart, Derek Deadman, Evanna Lynch Bonnie Wright, James & Oliver Phalps, Fiona Shaw, Matthew Lewis, Eleanor Columbus, David Bradley, Adrian Rawlins, Robert Pattinson, Julie Walters,Chris Rankin, Richard Griffiths, Mark Williams,Hugh Mitchell,Devon Murray, Shirley Henderson, Christian Coulson,Robert Hardy, and Gary Oldman.
