In a new interview with Digital Spy, Emma Watson discussed filming for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II.

“There were days when I was in tears,” she confessed. “I was begging David [Yates, director] but he just said, ‘It looks so much better that you guys seem more vulnerable’. And he’s right, it does look great on screen. We’re kind of like bedraggled, unlikely heroes. It works, but there were times when I just wanted to kill him! People who are close to me know, they so know, that there were days when it was decidedly unglamorous. And I was so tired, I would fall asleep anywhere.  They’ll never be released, but the on-set photographer has pictures of me falling asleep everywhere – on chairs, on the floor, in the middle of the set, all curled up.”

However, Watson went on to add that Hermione is now closer to her “own personality” after playing her for over a decade.  “David wanted a really honest performance, she said. “It was lovely to play – I feel like earlier on I played a parody of myself. She was kind of this big personality and she’s developed into someone much more human.”
