| | Emma Watson: "My biggest fear is getting stereotyped." The Times of India has a new interview with Emma Watson in which she discusses her role in the Potter films as Hermione and how that may affect her career in the future. Note: The article quotes Emma swearing. However the profanity does not appear in the original newspaper article (which can be viewed here.) Quote:
"My biggest fear is getting stereotyped. I want to do other things. I would hate to have another actress in the role (of Hermione). There is so much of me in her. Of course, JK Rowling wrote the character, but, in film terms, I had a part in creating her".
Quote:
"I am very careful to separate the two — there is Hermione, there is Emma. There is a professional life and a private life. I never mix the two."

Its great to see that shes trying to keep her life in order! It shows how intelligent she is!
It shows that she wants to continue as Hermiony and that she sees herself in the role!

I can't help but feel bad for her. I couldn't see anyone playing Hermione either because she plays her so well. I don't blame her for wanting to get into new things other than Harry Potter, but it will be weird if there was just some odd time that she didn't play Hermione. It's otay emma! :sorcerer:

It is very hard when an actor gets well know for a certain role. I hope that she is able to transcend this without giving up Hermione. I'd like to see her go on and do more. I'm sure she has the talent to succeed.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine No, she didn't swear. Someone took liberties with the online translation. The genuine newspaper article doesn't mention any profanities.

Dang. The F word! LOL I keep forgetting that not everyone thinks 15 year olds shouldn't be using that sort of language... My mother would've smacked me had I used that kind of language. But then that's me as an American talking. Heh.
That said, while it seems shakey that she doesn't want to be identified as Hermione Granger, she made me feel good that she can't imagine anyone else in the role.
I honestly think today people aren't as bad with identifing one person with one role. I mean, I joke about it, but I can surely tell the difference, and I think that's with everyone. Especially if we see them in other roles while we're watching them in other roles. You begin to be able to seperate the reel from the real.

Guys, she didn't swear. Read the original article. The online version is different to the one run in the newspaper.

It's so annoying when online sites edit the real thing. I mean, what did they want her to seem like? Just because many teenagers may be prone to say the word, doesn't mean she is too. If she wants to use it, fine, she can because it's her tongue, she can say whatever she wants. But it's wrong wrong wrong to add things to what someone said.

i think emma is at a very disadvantegous position. I mean seeing she's never done any movie other than HP (unlike Tom Felton, Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint) it's harder for us to imagine her as something other than good ol' Herms.
I'm not that into emma though she seems very...i dunno, uptight. but that's probably just me, myself and i.

we were debating in the emma-watson.forum if that was a real article bcoz of the "F" word, it is good to know now that she never said that, I know it is not a big deal to say the "F" word but I think with the nice image that she has I was doubting that the "F" word was part of her comments.

That's weird. Why would the online version us quotes with the F word included but the newspaper edition not do that? LOL That's a bit weird.

Yeah. It's really weird. The newspaper version appears to be the full one with the online being the edited.

The whole thing is actually quite weird. The online article goes into a different direction then the scanned article. The scanned goes on to talk about Emma while the online article goes a little bit more into the sterotyping. Maybe Emma did use the F word and the online article included it while the newspaper one didn't. *shrugs*

I hate when people do that, adding words to people's mouth. It's that kind of thing that subtlely tarnishes a name. I don't think she did say it, because she knows it would get published. She may have said "effed" up and that's just how they wrote it.
I understand what she means, especially if everyone goes through all seven. It'll be hard to think of her as anything else, but I'm sure she'll be able to manage it.

Swearing or not swearing aside... Interesting article. I always thought she'd be the one freaking out about stereotyping because of things she's said in the past. I'd be more worried about that if I was Dan Radcliffe. Either way these kids are too young to worry about stereotyping... they have a huge life ahead with more acting possibilities.

| Ultimate Potterite Original original That really shows that she'll try her hardest to stay on with the films. I like that because, even with the differences between book and movie, Emma is the only Hermione I can see now...well, at least for the movies |

Stereotype, she's a stereotype of your typical teenage girl pfft. Teddy: Careful all the stereotypical teenage fangirls on SS will jump you. Ottery: You say that like it's a bad thing. *winks cheekily at Ems*

Huh. Well, you know, if she takes that other role in Airborne, she is going to get even MORE stereotyped. That Kate girl is a know it all, too... Ooh we can all tell that Emma put a lot of herself in the role of Hermione. Note the pinkness in all of her Hermione clothes  just kidding |
