MySpace Layouts
Hey everybody
I truly apologize for the sudden error on my old page but a girl pretending to be me sent out a bulletin commanding people to block me a hundred times, that’s why I’ve been away of my old myspace but I’m glad that I’ve signed up again to talk to you all.
We’re all so grown up
Emma Watson sits in a posh London hotel, her slight frame encased in low-slung jeans. She is delicately normal and preternaturally possessed for a 17-year-old—but then, she’s had a lot of practice. Watson has been world-famous since the age of 11, when she first appeared as the bossy miss know-it-all Hermione Granger, accomplice to the young wizard Harry Potter.
â€It was the first audition I went on,†she says, still somehow surprised at the course her life has taken. “I had no idea of the scale of the film—the fame—or I would have been completely overwhelmed.â€
The numbers are staggering. So far, J.K. Rowling’s six books about the wizards of Hogwarts have sold 325 million copies, and the four films have grossed $3.5 billion. With the July 11 release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (the fifth film in the series) and the July 21 release of the long-awaited final book, those numbers will surely skyrocket.With Hermione, Rowling has created an enduring role model for girls. “There are too many stupid girls in the media,†Watson observes, her dark eyes lighting up. “Hermione’s not scared to be clever. I think sometimes really smart girls dumb themselves down a bit, and that’s bad.†Watson admits that there is quite a lot of herself in the confident and bookish Hermione. “I’m a bit of a feminist,†she proclaims. “I’m very competitive and challenging.†Though she resented it at first, Watson has come to appreciate the emphasis on Hermione’s brains rather than her appearance. “When I was 9 or 10, I would get really upset when they tried to make me look geeky, but now I absolutely love it. I find it’s so much pressure to be beautiful. Hermione doesn’t care what she looks like. She’s a complete tomboy.â€
Though Watson is far from a geek, she is a serious student. She credits strong family ties with helping her avoid the potential pitfalls such early success might engender. “I have a really secure network of family and friends,†she says. “My parents are both lawyers, and they have no interest in being part of this industry.†Her mother and father are divorced, and Emma is the oldest of seven siblings between the various blended families.
She lives with her mother in Oxford, where she attends an all-girls school. “People can’t understand why I don’t want to be a full-time actress,†she says, “but school life keeps me in touch with my friends. It keeps me in touch with reality. It makes me feel normal. Let’s be honest: I have enough money never to have to work again, but I would never want that. Learning keeps me motivated.â€
Hope you all do well.
