Emma Watson is Elle-gant
Emma Watson brings out the edge on the August 2009 cover of Elle UK.
In the upcoming issue, on stands TOMORROW, the 19-year-old British actress dishes on her college decisions, her future and how her dad handles her money. Check it:
On making the decision to go to college: “It’s going to sound dramatic, but I feel like it’s going to be my life over as I know it. My whole life has been about and then all of that’s going to shut down and I don’t know what that will be like. I go to university in September – I’ll be doing bits and bobs at Christmas, but September feels like my cut off point, when I’ll really stop Harry Potter.”
On how her father still handles her money: “My dad never told me how much money I was earning. Then, when I hit 18, he was like, ‘I want you to be able to understand that your money isn’t some kind of abstract concept, I want you to have a feel for what it’s worth and what you can do with it.’ The truth is that I’d just like to pretend it [the money] doesn’t exist. It’s amazing how many children are aware from such a young age about money being something important or supposedly impressive.”
On staying true to herself: “I don’t want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself. I want to avoid becoming too styled and too ‘done’ and too generic. You see people as they go through their career and they just become more and more like everyone else. They start out with something individual about them but it gets lost. Natalie Portman is an exception. I’m in awe of how she’s handled herself.”
On her future plans: “At the moment I feel like I need to go away and figure out what I want to do and be myself for a bit. I just want to take a step back from it and not rush into stuff. I need university to give me that break. People think because I’m going to university I’m never going to act again, but it’s actually me… I want to… figure out how I feel about everything first. Maybe I’ll keep acting, maybe I won’t. I just want to find something where I feel I have to do this. Maybe that’ll happen when I read a script. It felt like that with Hermione [Granger]. I want to feel like that again.”

ANYWAY LUV ITTTTTT
hte air thing was supposed ot be nice okkii dokii
wow she is really mature.. i hope her luck’
she is talented and beautiful
GORGEOUS! She’s amazing and so intelligent! I love this photoshoot…it’s so edgy! The cover kind of freaks me out a little though.
But the interview is awesome and I definitely understand her reason for wanting to go college. It makes alot of sense. She’s been in this business since she was 9 years old, so of course she wants to take it slow for awhile. It’s not she’s been making indie films for the past 10 years. She’s been involved with one of the Biggest Film Franchises of all time!
i never liked her, but she’s looking gorgeous in these pics!
WOW!!
i hope she doesnt quit acting, i think she has alot of potential and we still have alot to see from her
SHE SHOULD BE A MODEL!!!!!
LOVE THE MAKE UP
…SHE LOOKS A LITTLE BIT LIKE KRISTEN STEWART
i agree with brenda. in a certain angle. she does look a little like kristen.
Could she get anymore beautiful?! Love these pictures and it’s nice to see her in action in the video. She’s such a natural beauty. She pretty much confirmed she’s going to school in the US. I wonder which one it is? But I can’t wait for HBP! Only 15 Days to go!!
@brenda:
No she doesn’t. Not at all.
hm. she doesn’t look like kristen. her chin has the same pointy shape but that’s it. and i think it’d be safe to say that if they look like each other, it’s kristen who looks like her.
i like kristen, a lot, but in my opinion emma is more of a role model.
whoa, actually, they’re almost exactly the same age. but still.
She’s beyond gorgeous!! I really hope she continues to act because she’s so talented. And such a great role model. I’m 22 and she inspires me. lol. I think it’s awesome that she and Dan don’t spend any of their money. I think Rupert is the only one who splurges occasionally. But then again Emma is about to go to University.
she’d b perfect for robert pattinson! wud be a nice couple! hope they meet someday n hopefully they might get involved! wud be AWESOME!
wow thats a different side of her i havent seen
kool to see how she grown up…of course i luv her for harry potter lolz
she’s AWESOME!
she should be a model
she can do no wrong I tell you. I love Emma!! Such a gorgeous person and actress. Makes quite the model too.. cannot wait for HP6!!!!!!!!
oh my god she’s so gorgeous - i see her like she was normal, not an actress, im so glad she’s going to college
@joana: Well, they HAVE met and I swear to you when I was watching the behind the scenes of HP and the Goblet of Fire, when Rob and Emma are on the dressing room together, I would’ve bet everything I owned that they had a… thing. or a flig, whichever you prefer. Of course, I really don’t know and maybe I’m terribly wrong. I won’t go all ‘robsten’ on them. but she’s really someone I would love my brother to date.
Seriously.
she is so level headed and grounded
and amazingly smart.
i want to see her do an interview with another young actress
that’s ‘hot’ right now, just so emma can stand them up with her intelligence.
not to mention she’s beautiful!
@Kris: can you imagine that interview! emma watson and miley cyrus. now that’s a great idea.
oh no! kristen and emma would be so interesting to watch.
@joana:
They HAVE met. They spent 10 months together filming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
@Helen walsh:
Rob said in an interview during GOF promotion that he had a crush on Emma, but considering she was like 14 years old at the time and he was about 19. That would’ve been weird.
She’s really beautiful and extremely intelligent. Most probably more intelligent then the majority of those you have on that “sidebar” Jared.
she so pretty!
@brenda: i was thinking that too. in this photo shoot she does look similar to kristen.
she’s effortlessly gorgeous
loveee herrr
and harry potter in like 16 days! AHHHH! <3
@jbabesss:
Actually it’s more like 14 DAYS!!! I’m so excited! It comes out on July 15th!!
There’s an exclusive full scene on itunes right now and it just got me sooo pumped to see this movie! More pumped than I already was!
I love the shot where she’s wearing some sort of hat on her head, she looks so cute. She’s extremely photogenic! The cover they chose is kind of weird though. Like awkward.
i love her!
she’s gorgeous n intelligent! also, i admitted that she’s kinda like kristen stewart!
shes BEAUTIFUL .
shes somehow blessed with that rare … natural BEAUTY .
laaaave her (L)
AND HARRY POTTER IN TWO WEEKS !
- audrey ♥
@brenda: NO!!!! She is way more beatiful than Kristen! I mean i like kristen, she’s pretty but she looks like a man sometimes. However, Emma is just gorgeous!
And by the way, Emma and Robert Pattinson do not make a cute couple!!!! She’s wayyy too good for him….. not that i’m a robert hater… i like him.
