Emma Watson, the actress renowned for her portrayal of Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" saga, had a particular scene she disliked.
Undoubtedly, "Harry Potter: Return to Hogwarts," the HBO Max special commemorating the 20th anniversary of the first film in the saga, left audiences captivated by its revelations, igniting the excitement of fans who had cherished the cinematic adaptations of J. K. Rowling's fantasy novels.
Amidst our adoration for the series, Emma Watson held strong feelings against one specific scene. Yes, you read it correctly. While we immersed ourselves in the enchanting narrative, the actress had her reservations about an event within one of the films. She knows precisely which scene it is and the film where it transpired.
WHAT IS THE SCENE THAT EMMA WATSON DISLIKED MOST IN "HARRY POTTER"?
Emma Watson portrayed Hermione Granger, an extraordinarily clever girl born to Muggles, who, despite her initial differences in personality with Harry and Ron, ultimately became their closest friend.
Although she cherished the trust and friendship they had built, Watson noticed that things began to change as the saga progressed. So much so that a particular scene left her feeling "miserable." Which scene was it? It was when her character enters the Yule Ball in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
"For the first time, Harry and Ron, especially Ron, see Hermione as a woman, not just their sidekick. I knew it was a significant moment, and I felt self-conscious. For a moment, the ugly duckling transformed into a swan, and there was suddenly a great deal of pressure," the actress, born on April 15, 1990, candidly shared.
Despite her personal discomfort, Watson recognized the importance of that scene as it marked the evolution of her character's relationship with Ron, who began to see her not just as a friend but as someone he could love.
EMMA WATSON'S CHALLENGES FILMING THAT SCENE
On a separate occasion, Emma Watson revealed the challenges she faced while filming that scene. She received numerous instructions from the director, Mike Newell, as she recalled, "Mike Newell taught me how to descend the stairs in the dress. He told me, 'Your arms swing too much, you walk too fast, you need to slow down.' He provided me with a myriad of directives on how to gracefully descend the stairs, and, of course, I ended up taking a tumble," she recounted with humor.
HOW EMMA WATSON FELL FOR TOM FELTON
The fact that Emma Watson had a fondness for Tom Felton, her fellow actor from the "Harry Potter" films, was already known to fans of the wizarding series. However, in this instance, the British star disclosed how and when she realized her affection for him while they were working together.
Their connection began when they were assigned a joint art project to depict God, and Felton presented an original rendering he believed represented God: a girl with a backward cap riding a scooter. "I can't explain it; I just fell for him," she confessed.
Furthermore, Watson disclosed that she would diligently check the filming call sheet each day. "I used to arrive every day and see if his number was in the filming call. He had number seven. And if he was signed up, it was a day with extra excitement," she admitted.
Nevertheless, she clarified that even though she harbored affection for the actor who portrayed the malevolent Draco Malfoy, their relationship remained platonic. "He was three years older than me, so he saw me like a little sister," the actress shared.
