Emma Watson likes sleeping in

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 grueling schedules she had to adhere to while filming the wizard franchise.

“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 things,” she said. “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.

“I hate to sound whiny, but it’s horrible,” she said. “This has definitely been the most intense, grueling period of film-making I have ever done.”
