In a new interview Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe discuss the end of Harry Potter and their feelings about it.
Radcliffe told the London Evening Standard: ‘It’s going to be bizarre. I’m going to be devastated. It’s going to be very, very sad because it’s been such an important part of my life. There will never be one scene in any of the Harry Potters that, when I watch it, won’t trigger a series of memories about what that day was about and what I was doing. So everything is so linked to my life and growing up. But at the same time, it will be exciting. It puts a pretty nice punctuation mark on my adolescence. I feel grown-up now.’
Watson added: ‘None of us could say that we predicted this kind of love and recognition. It’s just incredible. I’m just so unbelievably proud to have been part of this. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I feel like someone’s dying, I know that sounds like an exaggeration but I really do. I’m not planning to do anything this summer – I’m going to need time to collect myself and get myself back together a bit. So I’ll take a bit of a break.’
Radcliffe joked: ‘I do hope I can continue to find some kind of employment after this – otherwise it’s panto!’ Asked which item he would like to keep from the film set, he replied: ‘I would steal the glasses. If they’re not given to me properly I’ll steal them.’
