Wizard Universe, who previously interviewed Dan Radcliffe, have now posted their interview with Emma Watson. In the interview, she talks about the Hermione/Ron/Lavender situation in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, what fans will think of the film, what type of roles she's looking at in the future, and more! Read more to see some of what she had to say.

They'll have their interview with Rupert Grint posted later this week.

What is Hermione's big moment and big sequence in the sixth film?
WATSON: There's this mean girl called Lavender who has a bit of a crush on Ron. It's leaked in the beginning of the film that Hermione and Ron are finally going to get it together, and then she steps in. Hermione is sensitive and quite mean, really. And it's very much about how she sort of despises Lavender. Not really because she's taken Ron away, but because she's kind of the opposite of Hermione. So it's very comic and also quite sad for her. It's very Ron based, her part.

Do you think the fans of the book will find "Half-Blood Prince" to be a faithful adaptation?
WATSON: I hope so. I think we've stuck as close as we possibly can without making a ten-hour movie. We've never had that complaint before, and I personally am such a big fan of the books. I've read them each of them three or four times so I think that's a really good focus for us.

At the very first press junket for the film, David Haymen and Chris Columbus ["Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's" producer and director, respectively] both said they looked high and low for kids they thought could handle both acting in the film and the fame that would come along with it. How confident were you that you could handle all that? And how different a ride has it been versus what was in your head almost ten years ago?
WATSON: The funny thing is I never realized that I was going to be famous. It never really occurred to me. I was just auditioning for parts and I just loved the character so much. I felt that I knew how to play her and I could be her, and Chris Columbus gave me a lot of confidence. And the fame thing never really hit home, it never did. When you're doing a movie you're kind of in a bubble and you don't really realize the impact it's having on the rest of the world. It comes in these surreal moments, like a premiere or a film coming out, and I realized that I am famous, but most of the time I forget.

If you continue acting after "Harry Potter" is done do you think you're going to look for roles that are as far from Hermione as possible?
WATSON: I would like to play someone a bit different, yes. But I'm not going to go play a thug just to get away from Hermione. It will be really interesting if I find anything I feel as strongly about as I felt towards Hermione. I just felt like I had to play the role. It's very hard to explain, I just felt I had to do it, and I haven't read another script that I've felt that way about.
