    Watson Has A Ball In Potter IV

    Emma Watson, who reprises her role as Hermione Grainger in the forthcoming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, told SCI FI Wire that one of her favorite moments was her grand entrance to the Hogwarts Yule Ball. "I really felt like a fairy-tale princess," Watson said in an interview in London over the weekend. "Jany Temime, head of costume, created a truly magical dress which had masses of material, took three months to make and involved loads of fittings. It was just beautiful."

    Watson, 15, plays an older Hermione in the fourth movie, which is based on J.K. Rowling's book of the same name. Watson joked that "getting the entrance just right took almost as long as the dress. I didn't know there were so many ways you could walk down stairs until that day. It was hard work. I was given all these directions: 'Keep your head up.' 'Make sure your back is straight.' 'Don't make it too clumpy.' 'Glide smoothly.' By the time we did [the scene], I was an absolute wreck. But hopefully it looks OK."

    Director Mike Newell complimented Watson's skill in transforming from frumpy bookworm into graceful swan. "We—as in producer David Heyman and I—tend to look at Hermione as an honorary boy. But, of course, Emma now gets to be a young woman, which is something that I personally am very proud of, because I thought she was wonderful and allowed herself to be very vulnerable."

    Watson added: "I loved the ball so much, because I could relate to what she was going through. I so know that frustration where guys can be so insensitive. And then one of the things Mike [Newell] really wanted to play is that Hermione is so insecure about herself, that she's never really had any attention from any guy before. So with Viktor [Stanislav Ianevski] she is quite literally being swept off her feet and getting caught up in this whirlwind with this incredibly famous Quidditch player."

    For Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the title role in the film, the evening was an unmitigated disaster. "Harry and Ron are the worst dates in the world, and you just feel so sorry for the girls," he said with a laugh. "This night should be the greatest night in the world, but it's horrible." Speaking from personal experience, he added: "At the end of the night there's that little bit, which is quite true of those sorts of school dance things, where all the ballroom casualties are outside weeping because their night has been so horrible."

    Watson agreed. "[The ball] is quite an emotional roller coaster for Hermione," she said. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire opens Nov. 18.
