"This REALLY bugs me!" says Watson of her character's unusual name. "I go around saying, 'Everyone repeat it with me: Her-MY-oh-nee', because everyone says Her-my-WON, Her-my-OWN."
"Hermione just kicks ass."
"No, unfortunately I don't possess any magical abilities."
"I don't feel like a hero. It's kind of weird to think that toddlers all around the world will be playing with me. Oh, that's awful, that's scary, but...amazing."
"I'm quite different [than Hermione], in that I am quite a girly-girl. I like my shopping and my friends in a way that Hermione doesn't. I'm not that schoolworky, I don't spend that much time on homework."
"David Heyman actually invited [Rupert Grint] and me to come in. We sat down in his office--very casual--and he said, "You've got the part." I was so shocked and I just stood there and said, "Pinch me!"
"The long hours, long days and being away from friends and family [is the hardest thing of filming HP]."
"When Daniel said, 'Gary Oldman has been cast as Sirius Black.' I said, 'who?' Now I know that is the most terrible thing that I could possible say ever!"
"It's important to read because it's really good for your [vocabulary]. It's really good for your imagination. I enjoy reading because I find it relaxing."
"Hermione uses all these big long tongue twister words..I don't know what she's going on about half the time!"
"Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite book, I love it. Hermione, Ron and Harry have a falling out, which hasn't happened before. "
"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."
"It's really weird to see yourself on the big screen. I find that I'm always looking at mistakes and not the good bits."
"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."
"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."
"I'd like to do some stage work because I love to sing and dance and I love the adrenaline rush that you get when you're right there on stage with an audience responding to you. "
"Oh my God, no, no chance, no chance. That's not in my contract!" [on kissing her co-stars]
"I can still remember perfectly the first time a guy at school let me know that he wanted to go out with me. I was so embarassed, I couldn't say anything. After few seconds of hesitation, I simply ran away... [laughs]"
"They walk past and go 'Wingardium Leviosa' for the billionth time that day, and I go aaagggghhhhhh!. But apart from that most people [in my school] are really nice about it."
"I have good friends and family who keep my feet on the ground and keep it real."
"My mum played hockey for East of England, which is why I think I love [hockey] so much and it helps to take my mind off everything."
"The best gift I ever received was a CD player because I love music."
"All of my money is locked away in a bank until I'm 25 and I'm never going to see it until then!"
"They think I need to be guided. But I’m fine and I don’t need any more Bibles!" when Christian fundamentalists sent her stacks of Bible copies because they believe the wizard films aren't good for kids.
