The BBC Press Office has released excerpts from Friday Night with Jonathan Ross‘ interview with Emma Watson, that will air tonight on BBC1 at 10:35pm BST. I will have a video up as soon as it comes online.
In an exclusive TV interview Emma Watson said she hated her long-anticipated screen kiss with fellow Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint: “I pounced on him, I was so desperate to get it over with.” She didn’t think she’d ever be Hermione: “By the time I got to audition, I was in pieces, I didn’t know I had the part.” And she denies she missed out on childhood: “I never felt like I was missing out… we were able to be kids because we were together, whatever weird thing we were doing.”
Emma confirms her future lies in acting: “Definitely… I’m so excited about going to university but it doesn’t mean to say I can’t do something else, I want to have my cake and eat it… I’d like to try comedy.”

The LA Times has added an interview with Emma Watson to their Hero Complex blog. In it she talks about her relationship with JK Rowling.
Watson contemplated the relationship she’s developed with Rowling friendship as she sat one brisk afternoon in her dressing room (which is relentlessly pink in its décor). “We talk, we e-mail each other now,” she said, nodding toward her laptop and that morning’s missive from the woman who is arguably the world’s most famous living young-adult author. “I must admit I still feel quite intimidated by her,” Watson said. “Not because she is actually intimidating, but because I admire her so much, and we have all been such mad fans of the books and her and everything.”
“I just really want her to like me,.” Watson said, sounding a bit like the insecure overachiever Hermione. “I’m always really keen to telling her how I feel, and maybe it’s a bit much. She is so down to earth and funny and witty……. I definitely see Hermione in her. She’s genuine and brilliant.”
“I will look back on this part of my life and I know it will be special, but it used to be that if I ever had a bad review or someone said, ‘Oh, she is too this,’ or ‘She’s too that,’ I got upset about it,” Watson said. “Now what I have worked out is that it would actually be physically impossible to be perfect for everyone. Everyone has a distinct idea in their head of what each character is like. So I’ve kind of had to lower my standards. I can’t be perfect for everyone. J.K. thinks I’m perfect, and that’s good enough for me.”

MTV has a new interview with Emma and Rupert where they talk about Quidditch.
“She definitely disagrees with Harry putting the Felix Felicis in Ron’s drink because it’s the equivalent of taking steroids before a match or for athletics,” Watson explained. “She really disagrees with it, but then she finds out that Harry’s actually been smarter than her and it’s all a psychological thing.” That’s because Harry doesn’t actually put the potion in his drink — Ron just assumes he’s been dosed and thus plays spectacularly. “It’s kind of like a placebo drink,” Watson said. “So it’s all OK in the end.”
For Grint, who plays Harry’s buddy Ron, “Half-Blood Prince” gave the actor his first opportunity to engage in some cinematic Quidditch. “I was actually really gutted last year because that is sort of Ron’s big Quidditch moment and I was really upset they didn’t have that in [‘Order of the Phoenix’],” he said. “I was really looking forward to doing it this time, but it’s actually sort of an anticlimax because it’s really hard work. You’re on a broom for a long time, like a few hours at a go,” Grint grinned. “You’re literally sitting on a broom and it gets a little bit sore down under a bit. It’s been fun, but it’s quite hard work.”
