Emma Watson: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]/[[Progressively Prettier]]/[[Hollywood Homely]]: In [[Harry Potter|the books]], Hermione is described as looking somewhat homely -- not ugly, ''per se'', but rather plain. This didn't happen in the movies, especially considering, towards the end of the series, Emma Watson started to get work as a, you know, ''model''. Then again, by ''Goblet of Fire'', both Harry and Ron start to notice that Hermione cleans up well, and Harry is taken aback by how much different she looks [[When She Smiles]].

** In a conversation with Daniel Radcliffe on the ''[[Deathly Hallows]]'' blu ray, JK Rowling admits all three of the actors were too good looking for the characters that she thought of as "geeky":

{{quote| ''It was really lucky I spoke to Emma on the phone first before I met her because I fell absolutely in love with her. She said to me, in a rushed tone, ‘I’ve only ever acted in school drama plays before! And my god! I just can’t believe I got the part!’ She spoke 60 seconds without drawing breath and I just said, ‘Emma, you’re perfect.’ And when I met her and she was this very beautiful(which she still is of course), beautiful girl, I just kinda had to go, “It’s film, deal with it. I’m still going to see the geeky, ugly duckling Hermione in my mind.”}}

* [[Actually, I Am Him|Actually, I Am Hermione]]: One day, she went to a restaurant, and someone noted she looks like the girl who plays Hermione. Her reply was that she is indeed that girl.

* [[Amicably Divorced]]: Emma's parents are this.
