Emma Watson on Her 'Protective' College Friends and That Fabulous New Haircut

'Harry Potter' star
Emma Watson graces the December cover of
Marie Claire and in the accompanying interview she reveals what it was like working for 10 years straight on one movie franchise, why she loves Brown University and what prompted her to cut her signature long locks.
"It wasn't like I made one movie; it was working consistently for 10 years. There was no reprieve," the 20-year-old actress told Marie Claire. "But I'm glad I saw it through to the end; I played that character from the start, and I wanted to finish what I started. It felt very satisfying that I had completed Hermione's journey."
More excerpts from the interview
after the jump.
On her stylish, pixie cut:
"I've wanted to do it since I was about 16, and when Harry Potter ended in June, I just needed a change. It was quite symbolic for me. It's very short; it was buzzed at the back and on the sides. And it's really liberating that I can walk out without thinking about it."
On her "protective" friends at Brown:
"I found a great group of girlfriends... Brown has a real sense of community, and people are very protective of me. They really look out for me; they want me to feel like I'm part of it. I threw my 20th birthday party at Brown, and I didn't even have to say to anyone not to put pictures on Facebook. Not a single picture went up. That was when I knew I'd found a solid group of friends, and I felt like I belonged."
On playing Harry Potter's pal Hermione:
"Playing Hermione just came so naturally; I had a real affinity for her. I felt like I knew exactly who she was. Like me, she's very loyal and determined, she's very intelligent, and she has a lot of guy friends, as I do. Her eagerness to please and to have the right answer is definitely like me. I'm a perfectionist, so my bossiness definitely comes out."

You are right! She is adorable. She reminds me of Twiggy and Mia Farrow in their hay-day. All the Harry Potter actors/actresses have been good role models for the young. I hope that continues. There are enough of the self-centered loser types.

It all looks good in the dark.Hate her hair
She certainly has the face to pull off the short cut, but I think it makes her look too old.
Bock and Harnick also took home Tonys and a Pulitzer Prize for the music and lyrics to 'Fiorello!' in 1960. In addition, Bock was nominated for Tonys in 1967 for 'The Apple Tree' and in 1971 for 'The Rothschilds.'

It's the old Gidget look kind of a Brit thing if you will.

I was thinking she looks like Twiggy
Not so much Twiggy as young Mia Farrow.
Emma is one wonderful young woman;none finer by any measure.

That fabulous haircut that makes her look like a boy. Why do women do that to themselves? Sickening.

That haircut is a boner-kill. Why does she want to look like a 13-year old?

Just a matter of time, she will announce she is gay.
