Better than any Harry Potter movie

The Daily News has an article by Nicole Carter about the latest star to strip down for a role: Following in the footsteps of her Harry Potter counterpart Daniel Radcliffe, eighteen-year-old Emma Watson says going nude for a role is okay. The baby-faced teenager, who garnered legions of fans for her role as Hermione Granger, admitted this weekend she would go naked for her art.
"Yes. For Bernardo Bertolucci. It...depends," said the actress, referring to the Italian director. But she quickly rationalized, "I'm not getting my kit off any time soon, but it is part of my job." Upon even more reflection in the interview the young star revealed she is aware of the issues her tender age presents. "I'm at a strange age. I'm not a woman yet, but I'm not a girl any more. "
While she doesn't feel quite like a woman, Watson's certainly dressing the part: The actress stepped out at the Los Angeles premiere of The Tale of Despereaux on Sunday looking very much like a grown-up in a semi-sheer dress.
But film companies aren't quite ready to see little Hermoine Granger as a big girl, she says. "They say, 'Oh, in a couple of years you'll be perfect for this.' I'll be like, 'Yeah, but I want to be studying English then, so it's going to be quite tough to choose between the two,' " she explains. Daniel Radcliffe, on the other hand, shouldn't have any problems being viewed as an adult: The nineteen-year-old has taken it all off in the play Equus over the span of two years on both sides of the pond.
