NICKOLODEON MAGAZINE: How did you get the part?
EMMA WATSON: My drama teacher (at school) called out my name at assembly and asked if I'd like to do the audition. I went up with a couple of my friends for a bit of a laugh. Then it got more and more serious. It was really scary, but it was great.

NM: How are you and Hermione alike?
EW: She loves cats, and so do I. I adore animals, but cats are my favorite. I've got two, Bubbles and Domino.

NM: Is there anything you don't like about Hermione?
EW: She's a bit too [concerned with] rules. She overdoes it when Harry gets the Firebolt and she seeks out Professor McGonagall. She was obviously worried, but I probably would've had a talk with my friend before I sought out a teacher.

NM: Was there a scene that was particularly hard to do?
EW: Yes. 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.

Emma's favorite...
Harry Potter book: Number three, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Character: Hagrid. "He's funny because he's this massive giant who can be so emotional."

Scene to film: The troll scenes. "I got to do loads of stunts. I had to crawl under bathroom stalls and hide under basins and run around. The trolls were also fantastic."
