I’m so used to having gaps in between each of the films, usually five or six months. After this last film ended, around that point, I sort of started getting this itch. It was like, “Okay, I’m ready to go back now.” And then I realized I wasn’t .. That was really the moment where I had to come to terms with - it’s so difficult to process.
“I feel very privileged to have played Hermione. I think she’s someone young girls can look up to because she’s always true to herself. She’s very smart and an incredibly courageous and loyal friend who keeps a cool head in extremely difficult situations. It was wonderful to be able to bring across those elements of her personality throughout the films.”
