As we
announced earlier, actress Emma Watson made a guest appearance on
Friday Night with Jonathan Ross today, during which time, amongst many things, she confirmed that she will be attending a university in the United States this fall.
Emma mentioned that she was the preferred choice of Hermione when being cast for the Harry Potter films over nine year ago; she gets chatted up by guys using terrible lines about broomsticks; boys mistake her for being in the
Chronicles of Narnia and
Lord of the Rings films, as a joke; she had seen Dan Radcliffe in
Equus and said it was "quite something".
As for the kiss with Rupert Grint in
Deathly Hallows, which took place last month, Emma stated that it was horrible, and that the best part of it was closing her eyes because she didn't have to think about the fact that she was kissing him. She considered kissing Rupert as incestuous; the worst part of the kiss was opening her eyes and trying not to laugh.
There was also a new clip from
Half-Blood Prince aired during the interview, where Harry and Hermione are discussing Slughorn's Christmas party in the library. Harry suggests they go together but Hermione already has a date, so she suggests Romilda Vane.
We will have the video here as soon at it is available online, so stay tuned!
UPDATE: The full video interview has been uploaded online and can be seen below:
Friday Night with Jonathan Ross with Emma airs on BBC America, July 17 at 8 and 11 pm, and again on July 18 at 1am.
