Johnny Depp snubbed other guests as he sat in a private room to watch the GQ Men of the Year awards on a TV screen

The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor requested an “expensive leather chair” to sit in and asked for “expensive, vintage red wine” to drink as he watched the ceremony unfold at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden on Tuesday night (06.09.11).

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Johnny likes his privacy and wanted to watch the ceremony in peace. He had all his home comforts surrounding him and just sat back and took it all in.

“The organisers weren’t fussed by his demands. As far as they were concerned, Johnny would have got anything he asked for.”

The 48-year-old star did make an appearance in front of the other guests – who included Charlize Theron, Emma Watson and Kylie Minogue – to present Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, whose audio book ‘Life’ he voiced, with the Writer of the Year prize.

While receiving the gong, Keith revealed his autobiography is set to be turned into a movie and he admitted the biggest problem facing filmmakers could be finding a suitable actor to portray him.

He said: “There are feelers out at the minute [but] I’m in no rush right at the moment. Also, how are they going to find me? The idea of a succession of Keith Richards coming down is horrifying.”

Johnny famously based his ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ character Captain Jack Sparrow on the legendary rocker and has previously indicated he would be interested in portraying him on the big screen.

Emma Watson has moved her new boyfriend into her dad’s house

The ‘Harry Potter’ star is reportedly living with her new beau, actor Johnny Simmons – who she has been dating since they met on the set of new movie ‘The Perks of Being A Wallflower’ earlier this year – in the swanky attic rooms of her father’s £2 million home in north London.

A source explained: “Things are getting pretty serious between Emma and Johnny so she wanted to take him back to London to meet her parents.

“They’ve been having a brilliant time together. Emma knows the city like the back of her hand so is a great person to show him around.”

While staying with the 21-year-old screen beauty’s parents, the pair have taken in a number of London sights, making trips to Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the London Eye.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: “They’ve done loads of tourist spots but she has also been taking him to a few flea markets and some great local pubs.

“They’ve been taking bikes or eco-cars to every tourist trap in the capital, including the London Eye, Big Ben and St. Paul’s Cathedral.”

After the couple were spotted smooching in Los Angeles earlier this month, Emma – who previously dated British singer George Craig – was said to have looked “utterly besotted” with her new man.

An onlooker explained at the time: “They were all over each other, kissing and hugging. It was very sweet to see. She looked utterly besotted. They’re obviously head-over-heels in love.”

Emma Watson was spotted looking “very loved up” with her ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ co-star Johnny Simmon in Los Angeles yesterday (04.08.11)

The 21-year-old actress – who shot to fame playing Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ films – reportedly fell for the 24-year-old actor on the set of the drama movie, which was shot in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and they are still close after filming ended.

A source – who spotted Johnny dropping Emma off at a restaurant where she was meeting friends – told US Weekly the pair “looked very loved up. Holding and hugging each other for a while and playfully kissing. [They] seemed very open and not trying to hide their affection.”

Although the relationship is relatively new, the pair are said to have become virtually inseparable

A source said: “Emma and Johnny met shooting ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ and have gotten serious fast. She loves how down to earth and normal he is and thinks he’s the nicest guy. He feels the same way about her. She doesn’t act like she’s one of the biggest stars in the world.”

A second source added: “They have really fallen for one another and both aren’t dating anyone else. She once said she’d never move to LA, but I think she’s reconsidering, especially because Johnny lives in Los Angeles.”

Emma previously dated financier Jay Barrymore but their two-year relationship ended in March 2010 after two years.

Emma Watson can’t wait to have kids

The 21-year-old actress – who shot to fame playing Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ films – is reportedly dating her ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ co-star Johnny Simmon and although she has refused to confirm the romance, she admitted she sees children and marriage in her future.

Emma told Company magazine: “I have very strong family values and I definitely hope that will be in my future. I can’t wait to be a mum and have my own family one day.”

The British star is drawn to confident men but concedes there are some people who are only interested in her for her fame.

She said: “I can spot people like that a mile off. It’s easy to figure out who’s who and, generally, I can just tell. It took me a year at university to trust anyone properly, but sometimes you have to take a risk because otherwise you’re not really living and that’s pretty sad.

“I look for kindness, good manners, intelligence, confidence and someone who can make me laugh. On a superficial level, I don’t have a ‘type’. You could line up photographs of all the guys I’ve dated and they look totally different. You won’t believe me but it really is more to do with their personalities rather than looks.

The full interview is out tomorrow (06.08.11) in the September issue of Company magazine.

Emma Watson partied at a pole-dancing club after the New York premiere of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ on Monday (11.07.11).

The British actress celebrated the end of the wizard movie franchise by going to a go-go bar on Monday (11.07.11) where she danced the night away with pals before leaving at 2am.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “She was really enjoying herself. There were a few scantily-clad girls around but Emma didn’t bat an eyelid.

“There are a few poles in the club but she didn’t have a go. After such a big night it’s no wonder she wanted to let her hair down.

“She had a smile on her face the whole time before calling it a night around 2am.”

While Emma’s ‘Harry Potter’ co-star Daniel Radcliffe recently revealed he has given up alcohol after developing a dependence on it while filming the movie franchise, Emma, 21, admitted she has been drunk in the past but said her experiences were much different.

During an appearance on ‘The Late Show with David Letterman’, she said: “To be honest, it’s really not something that I genuinely know much about. But as far as I know, he never took a sick day. He was like the most professional, amazing guy ever.

“I mean, yes, I have tried spirits! Of course, I’ve tried spirits. I mean err, there are substances, whiskey.

“Yes I have been drunk once in my life, as everyone does. I’ve got drunk, I’ve been drunk and I’ll bow to that.”

Emma Watson wants to be a “warrior princess”

The 21-year-old actress – who plays Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ films – wants there to be more strong role models for young girls, rather than them just being taught to be pretty and polite.

She said: “I feel like young girls are told they have to be this kind of princess and be all this sweet stuff.

“It’s all bull***t. I identify with more of being a warrior princess, so if I had to be a princess, I’d have to kick some ass first. That would have a lot of people terrified.”

Emma admits her attitude has developed through playing the strong character of Hermione over 10 years and eight films, and both of them have grown together.

Speaking at the New York press conference for ‘Harry Potter and he Deathly Hallows: Part 2′, Emma added: “I’m terrified of getting into trouble. I’m very heady in the same way that she is, kind of constantly thinking three or four moves ahead.

“I try to intellectualise a lot, which she does well. She’s very determined. I am as well. I feel so much of me went into her and so much of her went into me that I can’t really differentiate too much anymore.”

Emma also clarified that she has not quit n Brown University in Rhode Island, America, to study at Oxford University in England, but is continuing her studies there for a year before returning to the US for her final year.

She added: “I mean, it’s obviously scary, change is always scary. But I feel very excited and I feel like I’m entering a new chapter and getting a fresh start. I’m going back to school in the autumn. I’ve got two years left in university.”

Emma Watson is ready to “figure out” who she really is

The 21-year-old actress – who was cast as brainbox Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ film series when she was just 11 years old – admits working on the franchise has ruled her life over the last decade and she is now looking forward to making her own decisions.

She said: “Not a single second of the day was in my power. I was told what time I’d get picked up, what time I could eat and when I could go to the bathroom.

“I have spent more of my life being someone else than I have being myself.

“I’ve always had a strong sense of who I am and what I want, but I do need to spend more time figuring that out.”

Among the ways the movies have affected her life was Emma’s decision to put her studies on hold last year.

The British beauty was two years into a liberal arts degree at America’s prestigious Brown University but left because it was too much of a struggle combining her school work with promoting the final two films in the series, ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2.’

Emma – who will return to her degree at Oxford University in October – explained in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I was commuting back and forth between the US and the UK trying to fulfil my commitment to this enormous ‘Harry Potter’ franchise and it just wasn’t feasible. I’m only human.

“I wasn’t getting the best out of either my studies or the filming, so I decided to give a proper goodbye to 10 years of work and resume my studies later.”

Emma Watson feels like a “different person” to the girl in the early ‘Harry Potter’ films

The 21-year-old actress – who was just nine years old when she appeared as Hermione Granger in the first movie in the franchise, ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ – finds it “embarrassing” to look back on her early performances because she has changed so much.

Speaking ahead of the release on the eighth and final film in the series, ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2′ she told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “I look back at the early films and see that little girl, and I know it’s me, but it seems like a different person.

“It’s somewhat embarrassing to see myself go through all the awkward stages of growing up. So much time has passed and so much has happened that it seems that I don’t know her, but it’s interesting to see how the character has evolved and how much I have changed.”

Since completing filming on the series wrapped last year, Emma, now 21, has moved on, studying at university and signing up to appear in ‘My Week with Marilyn’ and ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’, but her cast mate Rupert Grint has admitted he’s found it harder to move on.

He said: “I loved every minute of it, and I’m really going to miss it. I felt empty and a bit lost, and it’s taken me a while to accept it’s over.

“When Harry Potter started, I wanted to be an ice-cream man, but the films showed me that I wanted to be an actor, although for the first three I didn’t take it very seriously. I just stood where I was told and read my lines. Then with the fourth film I started caring more about my performance.”

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2′ had its world premiere in London last night (07.07.11).

Emma Watson’s first crush was on her ‘Harry Potter’ co-star

The actress – who started as character Hermione Granger in the film franchise ten years ago, when she was aged 11 – admitted to fancying her co-star Tom Felton, who played her on-screen nemesis, Draco Malfoy.

Emma told Seventeen magazine: “For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton. He was my first crush.” The star – now 21 – said it didn’t make things awkward on set, and she is able to laugh about it with Tom, who is now 23. She added: “He totally knows. We talked about it – we still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that’s cool.”

Emma – who has recently been romantically linked to her ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ co-star Johnny Simmon, and has previously dated One Night Only singer George Craig – admitted she is not very good at playing hard to get with boys she likes. She added: “I’m a terrible game player. I’m so impatient – it’s one of my worst traits!”

“I’ll pretty much say to a guy, ‘I like you – let’s go hang out.’ But my friends are like, ‘You can’t do that! You have to string this guy along.’
“And I’m just like, ‘No! I won’t! I just want to go on the date!’ – I definitely haven’t figured it out yet.”

Emma Watson found it “overwhelming” being shown around Coco Chanel’s apartment

The ‘Harry Potter’ actress was flown out to Paris by the French fashion label ahead of a film premiere and was given the VIP treatment, which included seeing where label’s founder and fashion icon lived her glamorous life.

She said: “My most glamorous moment was probably when Chanel flew me to Paris to try on premiere outfits. It was ridiculous – I went around Coco Chanel’s apartment! I found that really overwhelming.”

Despite going to many premieres over the years, Emma hasn’t got bored of choosing outfits and knows when she’s found the right one.

She said: “It’s really weird, you just know when you’ve got the dress on. I’m like, right that’s it, no need to look any more, this is the one.”

Last year, the 21-year-old beauty cut her long hair into a pixie crop but admits her father wasn’t initially impressed.

She said: “My dad was like, ‘Don’t get carried away, you’re not Audrey Hepburn yet.’ But he loves it now, so he’s eating his words.”

Emma Watson lives in a “complete bubble”

The ‘Harry Potter’ actress – who has starred as Hermione Granger in the wizard franchise since she was just 11 – admitted she has “no control” over her life and is “desperately trying” to find more normality.

She said: “I have had no control over my life. I have lived in a complete bubble. They found me and picked me for the part. And now I’m desperately trying to find my way through it.”

The 21-year-old beauty – who recently dropped out of Brown University to concentrate on her career -also revealed she felt like a “pain in the butt” for film-makers Warner Brothers because she was constantly striving to get an education.

Emma added to US Vogue magazine: “I have felt for the last 10 years I have had this battle; I’ve been fighting so hard to have an education. It’s been this uphill struggle. I was Warner Bros.’ pain in the butt. I was their scheduling conflict. I was the one who made life difficult.”

However, the actress explained she sought relationship advice throughout her time on ‘Harry Potter’ from co-star Daniel Radcliffe.

She said: “We would help each other compose texts to our most recent flames.”

Emma Watson is enrolling at Oxford University

The ‘Harry Potter’ star is expected to study English at the well respected British university, enrolling in its Worcester College to start in October.

Emma had quit America’s Brown University in April saying she had trouble finding the time to commit to her studies while also carrying out her film, promotional and modelling work. She did, however, say she expected to enrol in another university to continue her education this autumn.

She wrote on her website: “Recently I’ve had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.

“I’ve decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on ‘Harry Potter’ and to focus on my other projects.”

Emma has lived in Oxfordshire – where the university is based – since she was five, so may feel more at home at the university.

Earlier this month, she revealed another contributing factor in her decision to quit was she underestimated just how famous the ‘Harry Potter’ films have made her.

The 21-year-old actress said: “I was in denial. I wanted to pretend I wasn’t as famous as I was. I was trying to seek out normality, but I kind of have to accept who I am, the position I’m in and what happened.”

It is possible Emma could return to Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island, to study in her third year, as it offers a transfer scheme which allows some students to study at Oxford for a year.

A spokesperson for Emma said: “No decisions have been made yet.”

Emma Watson sometimes feels “100 years old”

The ‘Harry Potter’ actress – who shot to fame at the age of 11 when she first appeared in the wizard franchise – admitted while she has been through a lot in her life, she often still feels “incredibly young and very naïve”.

She said: “I’m this very weird mix. In some senses, I feel as if I’m 100 years old. In others, I still feel incredibly young, very naïve and as if I haven’t seen much of the world at all. I’ve been incredibly protected, but in other ways I’ve had to be in situations that nobody my age would.

“Sometimes I think I’m the worst person in the world to be in the situation I’m in. I’m shy, I’m sensitive and I’m self-critical. It’s a terrible combination.”

The 21-year-old beauty also thinks her notoriety “intimidates” members of the opposite sex, because she is never pursued by men.

Emma added to Style magazine: “I say to my friends, ‘Why hasn’t X called me? Why doesn’t anyone ever pursue me?’ They’re like, ‘Probably because they’re intimidated’.

“It must be the fame wall. It must be the circus that goes around me. Me, as a person, I find it hard to believe I would be intimidating.”

Emma Watson was “genuinely terrified” by the war scenes in ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2′

The film series climaxes with a huge battle between titular wizard Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his Hogwarts co-horts against evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and his followers the Death Eaters, and the actress says the special effects were so realistic, most of the cast were in shock.

Emma – who plays Harry’s friend Hermione Granger – said: “They put plugs in our ears to protect our eardrums, but you can still hear because you’re so close to the bangs. There’s this one scene where they detonated all of these bombs, like, right next to us. I was absolutely, genuinely terrified.”

Rupert Grint – who plays another of Harry’s sidekicks, Ron Weasley – agreed, comparing the set to a battle epic.

He told Empire magazine: “It turned into a bit of a war film. We all formed this army, the castle is on fire with rubble and bodies littered everywhere. It’s shocking really, and they’re all kids as well!”

Emma Watson is postponing her university studies

The ‘Harry Potter’ actress and model is taking time out from her education at the prestigious Brown University in the US to concentrate on her commitments to the film series.

In a message to fans, the literature student wrote on her website: “As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I’ve had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.
“I’ve decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter (the last one comes out this summer) and to focus on my other professional and acting projects.

“I will still be working towards my degree… it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought.” Although shooting on the ‘Harry Potter’ series – in which Emma plays one of the central characters, Hermione Granger – is over, the last movie, ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’, is yet to be released and Emma will be expected to work promoting it over the summer.

The 20-year-old actress also appears in the film ‘My Summer With Marilyn’ which is released later this year, and has signed up for another movie, ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower’. Emma also announced a new fashion venture last week, collaborating on the ‘Pure Threads by Emma Watson Alberta Ferretti’ line.

Daniel Radcliffe is the richest British star under 30

The ‘Harry Potter’ actor has made an estimated £45.6 million, £25 million of which comes from the final two films in the series ‘The Deathly Hallows’, alone, almost £15 million more than the second-placed star, 25-year-old Keira Knightley, who has made a fortune of £30.1 million so far.

Four of the top five money-makers in the list compiled by heat magazine come from the wizard movie series made famous by Daniel, with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint making £20.6 million and £19 million respectively.

‘Twilight: Saga’ actor Robert Pattinson – who appeared in ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ – was placed fifth, having earned £18.5 million so far.

Britain’s highest earning music star is ‘Bleeding Love’ singer Leona Lewis, who has generated a £12.5 million fortune since winning ‘The X Factor’ in 2006, placing her in sixth place.

Heat editor Sam Delaney said the list proved not all rich people are “corrupt, cigar-chomping fat cats”.

He said: “In these tight financial times, there’s a great deal of animosity felt towards society’s richest. But who could possibly resent the millions earned by a charming young rascal like Daniel Radcliffe?

“The heat rich list is proof that not all mega-rich people are corrupt, cigar-chomping fat cats. This list is full of young people who have largely made their cash out of putting smiles on other people’s faces”

Other notable inclusions on the list include Sienna Miller at 17, who at £6.1 million has earned less than Arctic Monkeys’ singer Alex Turner, who has amassed an estimated fortune of £7.5 million.

‘X Factor’ judge Cheryl Cole has earned £7.9 million, putting her ahead of all her Girls Aloud bandmates.

Emma Watson cut her hair cut short to mark entering a “new phase” in her life

The ‘Harry Potter’ star – who plays Hermione Granger in the series, which completed shooting on its final film earlier this year– has recently had a drastic new short crop and admitted it was a symbolic gesture, to mark her leaving her character behind.

She told the Daily Mail newspaper: “I’m 20 now, so I’m not a child any more. I’ve been on Harry Potter for ten years now, so I felt the need to mark the end of it in some way – I needed some way to say to myself, ‘Right, you’re entering a new phase of your life now’. I needed a change, and that’s what the haircut is about.”

Emma, who played Hermione from the age of nine, added her father was initially worried about her new look, but that her pixie-like hairdo has since grown on him.

She said: “When I first told him that I was thinking about doing it, he said, ‘Don’t get carried away. You’re not Audrey Hepburn yet.’ But he loves it now, and so he’s eating his words.”

Emma, who is also the face of fashion chain Burberry and attends Brown University in the US, admitted she finds it difficult to juggle her life as an A-list actress and a hardworking student, but she puts in as much effort to both as she can.

The actress added: “I’m not going to lie. I have to just work really hard when I’m at university and earn my professor’s respect and trust that I’m hardworking, take it seriously and that I will come up with the goods somehow.

“You have to be really organised with your time. I tell professors in advance that I have to leave for this period of time, and I hope they’ll understand.”

Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint used to hide from their bodyguards

The trio – who played Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise for almost ten years – hated having to be followed wherever they went and so would to try and make an escape as often as possible.

Emma said: “I hate having bodyguards and when we were younger, Dan, Rupert and I used to try to hide from the people trying to keep an eye on us.”

Now the stunning actress – who is juggling her acting and modelling careers with studying at Brown University in America – has learned to accept attention from fans and prefers to go out without any bodyguards as she is often able to go out without being disturbed.

She added: “Now it’s like ‘Really, I’m fine.’ I take the train and the bus and, if I don’t dress up too much, I’m usually fine. Occasionally people stop me but I’d rather deal with that than not go out at all. That’d be really tragic.”

Emma Watson “doesn’t understand” men

The stunning 20-year-old actress – who has had previous relationships with musician George Craig and financier Jay Barrymore – has asked her ‘Harry Potter’ co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint for advice in her relationships.

She said: “I’m single at the moment. Things are pretty quiet. Not much going on. When I was on the set with Daniel and Rupert, it was normally me who went to the guys with the questions about guys because I don’t pretend to understand the male gender.

“I’m just like, ‘What is going on here? What should I be doing? I don’t understand.’ So they’ve helped me out a bit and been like my protective big brothers.”

Although Emma doesn’t understand men, the opposite sex can find out more about the British beauty than she is comfortable with, thanks to her awkward teenage years being documented on camera throughout the ‘Harry Potter’ series.

She told Parade.com: “It’s weird. It’s kind of like your baby pictures being posted up around the world on a 20-foot screen. It’s cool in a way but also kind of slightly embarrassing.

“It makes me squirm a bit, to be honest. It’s funny, looking back, how different we all were. I had the bushy hair, chipmunk face, and big teeth going on, which wasn’t a great look for me.”

Emma Watson gets excited by lie-ins at university

The ‘Harry Potter’ actress – who is currently studying at Brown University in New England – admitted she found the first few months of academia “liberating” in comparison to the gruelling schedules she had to adhere to while filming the wizard franchise.

She said: “It was so liberating. I’d be smiling to myself and friends would say, ‘Emma, what’s wrong?’ and I’d say, ‘I’m just happy’. I take pleasure in the smallest thinks. Like, I’m going to wake up at 10 o’clock if I want to. Or, I’m going to eat a sandwich now.

“I have such a structure when I’m working on ‘Potter’. I get told what time I get picked up. I get told what time I can eat, when I have time to go to the bathroom. Every single second of my day is not in my power.”

The 20-year-old star also revealed there were times when filming arduous outdoor scenes for the latest movie in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise was a “horrible” experience.

Emma added to Entertainment Weekly magazine: “I hate to sound whiny, but it’s horrible. This has definitely been the most intense, gruelling period of film-making I have ever done.”

Emma Watson has been ‘in love once’, but has never had her heart broken

The ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ actress appeared in front of hordes of screaming fans at the film’s world premiere last night (11.11.10), where she revealed a little about her private life.

Emma – who plays brain box witch Hermione Granger in the popular film series – told BANG Showbiz: ‘I’ve been in love once but I won’t say who with, as it’s not fair on the others.’

Emma has previously been linked to One Night Only rocker George Craig, financier Jay Barrymore and Spanish musician Rafael Cebrian, but keeps is very secretive about her personal life.

The 20-year-old British star has worked alongside Daniel Radcliffe as boy wizard Harry and Rupert Grint who played his sidekick Ron Weasley for ten years and six previous films; and added she enjoyed a glimpse of youthful abandon when filming a dancing scene with Daniel for the latest movie.

She added: ‘It was nice to be able to do that again and be light hearted and feel like a kid again.’

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ is the final chapter in the Harry Potter’s adventures and is split into two films, which completed filming earlier this year, and Daniel said earlier yesterday he’s ready to move on.

He told BBC Radio 2: ‘We’ve been through a lot but it’s been mainly positive, we all know how lucky we are to have been through so much and at such a young age to have been given this opportunity, I think we all count our blessings in that respect.

‘We were all very sad to finish but, the way I coped with it was to dive into another film.’

He also joked the fame he has gained through the films has made him ‘gently eccentric’.

He added: ‘I am crazy, but in subtle ways. I like to think of myself as gently eccentric, rather than full-blown insane.

‘In terms of the not being crazy thing, I think it comes down to having very good parents and good people around you.’

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1′ is released worldwide from November 19, and the second part with follow next year.

Emma Watson feels as though she has “retired”.

The 20-year-old actress – who is currently studying at Brown University in America – was left feeling bereft following the end of filming ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts I and II’, the seventh and eighth movies in the wizarding franchise.

She said: “I’m going to say something really sad. Knowing that there’s still more to come from me – it feels very strange to feel like you’re retiring when you’re 20 years old. But it does feel that way. I’ve spent 10 years making these movies and I just hope that the second part of my life is as incredible as the first half.”

Though she is sad about the end of filming, Emma – who plays brain box witch Hermione Granger in the popular series – will have a permanent reminder of her stint after revealing she has a “serious collection” of bibles which she is often sent by well-meaning fans.

She explained on UK TV show ‘Daybreak’: “I think people just think we need guidance, you know? It is slightly strange, I do have quite a serious collection of them now.”

The brunette beauty also spoke about how much she is enjoying student life.

She said: “I work hard, I work really hard. I do really enjoy it so that helps.”

Rupert Grint is looking forward to finding love

The 22-year-old actor – who has played schoolboy wizard Ron Weasley in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise since 2001 – admitted being a star from such a young age has hindered his progress on the relationship front, as being so busy made it “difficult” to find romance.

He explained: “It was quite difficult to sustain a relationship, because I was so busy. I went out with people, but never anything too serious. It wasn’t that easy.

“Now it’s something I’m really looking forward to.”

The British star also revealed kissing co-star Emma Watson – who played Hermione Granger – in the final film was “a bit strange”.

He added to The Times magazine: “It was quite a tricky kiss, a bit strange, but quite sweet really.

“It was just one shot, but we had about six takes. It was all right, yeah. Easy after the first take.”

Rupert recently admitted he had found it hard to adjust to life post ‘Harry Potter’, despite the hit movie franchise having taken over his life for many years.

He said: “I haven’t quite adjusted to life without ‘Harry Potter’. I’m really sad actually, I’ve missed it. But I think it’s a good time really to kind of move on. It has been a long time. After ten years, I do kind of want to stretch a bit more and explore different characters and do different things.”

Emma Watson was allowed to drink alcohol when she was just seven

The ‘Harry Potter’ actress has revealed her parents Chris and Jacqueline – who are both lawyers who divorced when she was just five – always treated her like an adult and she was allowed to drink wine with meals as a child.

Emma, now 20, believes her parent’s attitude to alcohol stopped her from drinking to excess as a teenager like many of friends.

She said: “My dad wouldn’t have any of this kids stuff. We would never be allowed to order from the kids’ menu in restaurants. He’d always expect me to have adult conversations. I wasn’t babied I was expected to step up when I was told to. I was never not allowed alcohol – I was seven when I had my first glass of wine, mixed with water and with a meal. I found it really strange when I got to school and everyone was like, ‘Ooh, we’ve got alcohol!’ I wasn’t interested.”

Emma spent a lot of time from her parents shooting the eight ‘Harry Potter’ movies – in which she plays Hermione Granger - and although she wishes should could have seen more of them while growing up she is very grateful for the experience.

She added to The Sunday Times Magazine: “I would never have forgiven my parents if they’d stopped me from having this amazing opportunity. What has been hard is making eight blockbusters back-to-back throughout the whole of my teenage years. If it was my daughter I would prefer to be just one or two movies . I was a long time away from my mum. Dan (Daniel Radcliffe) and Rupert’s (Rupert Grint) parents gave up their jobs to be with them. Neither of my parents did. But both my parents love their work and it’s a big part of their identity.”
