The last Harry Potter movie will be on show in November. But “Hermione Granger” has already moved on from Hogwarts.
Months ago, when the filming (拍摄) of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” was ending, Emma Watson said she felt like “a friend is dying”. The British actress has played Hermione Granger in all Harry Potter movies since 2001. She said she needed to “take a break” and “get herself back together” after the filming.
This August, the 20-year-old surprised everyone. She cut her hair super short! Emma wrote on her Twitter page: “Dear all. Cut my hair off a few days ago. I love it. I’ve wanted to do this for years and years. It’s the most liberating (自由舒畅的) thing ever.”
Emma has kept her long hair for 10 years for the role of Hermione. But she doesn’t regret (遗憾) losing it. “I missed all the experiences that most teenagers go through. I’ve wanted to do this since I was about 16. So as soon as I had the chance I just did it,” she said.
The actress now has her first “grown-up” role (角色) in a film called My Week With Marilyn. Although (尽管) she only plays a small role, Emma will get a chance to work with many Oscar winning actors. But before the shooting starts, the actress will be playing another role in real life-that of a college student. Last month, she went back to Brown University in the US. She is now a second year student.
