Sky News has updated their site with their interviews with Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Daniel Radcliffe that appeared in their latest issue. (I meant to post the scans but I have been so busy with work that I forgot). Some segments may be read below, these interviews seem to have been given a long while ago as they are still talking about Half-Blood Prince mostly.
SKY MOVIES MAGAZINE: Do you feel like you’re at the end of a journey?
EMMA WATSON: I feel really pressured, because I feel like this is my last go, my last shot. I don’t want to have any regrets. I want it to be the best performance I’ve ever given. I want to know that I’ve done the best that I can possibly do. It’s really strange.
SMM: Are you thinking about what you’re going to do after?
EW: I really think I need to recharge my batteries and go and be me for a bit.
SMM: Will you carry on acting?
EW: I really don’t know. I think I need to find some real belief in myself away from this. I know that I can play Hermione, but I don’t know… we’ll see.

SMM: The films keep getting darker. How does Half-Blood Prince compare with the upcoming Deathly Hallows?
DR: I think the level of darkness in Half-Blood Prince was the same as Order Of The Phoenix, but the scale is bigger. Phoenix is a more intimate story about loss and sadness, whereas Half-Blood Prince is more of a thriller. It’s about putting the pieces together – and that’s what Deathly Hallows takes even further.
SMM: Have you got any plans now the series has finished?
DR: There are a few things that I’m keen on, but there are no dates or anything for any of them yet, so I’m not going to jinx them! Hopefully they’ll come off.

SMM: Is it a shock going to work on a low-budget film like Cherrybomb after the pampered world of Harry Potter?
RG: Well, it was quite scary going to a different place, but the biggest difference was just the pace they worked at. It was much quicker and it was much more exciting, actually.
SMM: Do you get recognised everywhere you go now?
RG: I do get recognised quite a bit now but everyone’s really nice so it’s quite easy to deal with. But still a bit strange.
SMM: What are you most looking forward to with the last two films?
RG: I really loved the book. There’s a lot of great stuff in it. Particularly in Part 2 – that’s what I’m most looking forward to because that’s where all the action is. And the “20 years after” thing – that’s going to be interesting. I’m pretty sure they’ll age us up for that. I can’t really see them doing that with CG…
