Hermione on Letterman
“Paul, the kid just gunned me!”
I don’t talk about Harry Potter much around here, but I know the phenomenon well enough. While I have a hard time telling one title from the next, I could probably pick most of the main characters out of a police lineup and even tell you how they relate to one another.
Though I may be lukewarm on Potter, I grew up a huge fan of Letterman (I prefer the 12:30 NBC variety to the current incarnation) and I know that it takes a special guest to endure his shtick without looking like an asshole.
Hundreds of guests have tried and failed, but Harry Potter’s Emma Watson is nearly perfect. She gets off to a bit of a shaky start, but then she quickly warms up and she nails the landing. She manages to roll with the punches and give back as good as she gets while still allowing Letterman to be Letterman.
Not bad at all for a 19-year-old.

She did a great job here.
I like her a lot – she was the best thing about the first two movies, which weren’t that great. She has good screen presence and she’s very interesting looking.
Hermione is one of my favorite characters from the books too.
It’ll be interesting to see if she makes the transition into adulthood and if she shows any range beyond her Harry Potter character.
I’m a fan. Both of the character and the actress. I think she’ll stick around.
She’s focusing on college right now and one of the gossip rags quoted her as saying she didn’t care if she ever acted again, but from this interview it seems clear like she plans on sticking with it.
I speak from experience when I say her Liberal Arts degree will do little but get her into grad school.
I had the same experience. However, I’d like to add that a Liberal Arts degree also allows you to waste time for 4 years and read a lot of good books. That’s what it did for me anyway, but then I never did have any direction in my life.
lol…I have no regrets about mine. College was a blast. I wish I’d figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up and gone to grad school, but….oh well! I didn’t.
