Hermione Grainger would definitely have disapproved, but Emma Watson just wanted to have fun. After all, there had been little scope for frivolity during the decade she spent portraying the prim and proper Hermione in the seven Harry Potter films. So she made up for it in a big way while filming her new, post-Hogwarts school-set drama, The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
“This film felt like an accelerated adolescence for me because in a seven-week span I got to experience everything I missed growing up,” says the 22-year-old actress. “We filmed in Pittsburgh, and when I first arrived I thought it was going to be awful. I was like, 'Oh my God, we’re here for seven weeks? There’s nothing here.’
“But we stayed at a hotel where all our rooms were connected down one hallway, so Ezra [co-star Ezra Miller] and I opened the doors in between our rooms and we turned the ground floor of the hotel into something like a hippy commune. By the end of the movie I was deliriously exhausted because we’d just stay up all night playing guitar and running around the hotel and generally causing carnage. I don’t know how we got away with as much as we did. A lot of barriers come down when you’re living together.”
Since the Harry Potter films, which consumed her childhood and teenage years from the age of nine and left her fabulously wealthy but confused about her future, Emma Watson has grown into a self-assured, confident young woman relishing her new role as one of Hollywood’s leading actresses. Just occasionally a hint of the rebellious teenager she was never allowed to be slips into her conversation.
“I was working on Harry Potter while I was growing up, and the attention it brought me made me feel quite isolated,” she recalls. “It’s only recently that I’ve felt much better in my own skin and known my own worth a lot more than I used to.”
