There’s a new feature with Emma in CosmoGirl! magazines August issue with features a brand new interview (though no new photos). If anyone could send in scans, that would be fantastic – but for now, here’s a transcript:

3 Minutes with Emma Watson

The sassiest witch in Hogwarts channels her muggle side to chat about boys, baths, and why she avoids the beach!

Throughout the course of the Harry Potter movies, Emma Watson’s character, Hermione, has transformed from a poofy-haired brainaic to the gorgeous belle of the Yule Ball. Now, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (out July 13), we see that her character has also matured on the inside – into a confident, take-charge girl. “Hermione’s forced to take things on for herself and have her own initiative,” says 17-year-old Emma. “I love that she’s a bit of a feminist. It’s normally her dragging the guys off into the mischief they get into!” In the fifth installment of Potter, evil takes over Hogwarts when a new teacher arrives with shifty suspicions and unusually cruel punishments, like bloodily carving words into the back of Harry’s hand by magic. Ouch! With a quick swoosh of our wand, we got Emma to tell us what makes her tick in real life. Here’s what she said.

COSMOGIRL!: So what’s in your bedroom right now?

Emma Watson: I have collections of quirky things from places I’ve been to, like a set of Russian dolls. And I always keep cards people send me. I have a whole wall covered with them. So my room’s quite full – and messy!

CG!: Are you more of a tomboy or a girlie girl?

Emma: I’m a mix. I can be a bit of a boy when I’m with (boys). I get combative. But I also love fashion and makeup. I don’t have makeup on all the time, but when I want, I have fun with my friends choosing clothes and putting nail polish on.

CG!: Which sport do you prefer – Quidditch or soccer?

Emma: Quidditch. There’s more going on, and it’s juicy! I’m really competitive. Field hockey is my strongest sport, and if I lose a game, I take a long, hot bath and moan about it.

CG!: Which holiday do you enjoy more, Valentine’s Day or Halloween?

Emma: I find Valentine’s Day quite stressful; there are such high expectations. So I’d go with Halloween – it’s more fun. I like dressing up – once I was a pumpkin!

CG!: Would you rather relax on the beach or go skiing in the mountains?

Emma: Skiing. I can’t lie still long. I must do something!

CG!: Last question – if you had Hermione’s magical powers, what would you do?

Emma: My life’s just mad – I love to cram as much as I possibly can into every single day! So I’ve always envied Hermione having that Time Turner. I’d love to be able to stop time – just take a break and come back into it.

Photo caption: Emma describes costar Daniel Radcliffe as a “big brother who protects me.” Sweet!

EDIT: We’ve got a new behind-the-scenes set report and brief interview with Emma over at ACED Magazine. The article talks mainly about the set and the interview with Emma talks a bit about the movie (some interesting new info, for once, though!) and about Dan and Rupert. Do note that the article contains some mild movie spoilers.

ACED: Are you excited that Hermione actually gets to see some action in this installment?

Emma: YES! Oh my God! Seriously! There’s only a certain amount of looking concerned at the edge of a scene that I can do. It was really nice, it brought me back to the first film, I was like “YES!.” We’ve just started the final sequence, and I’ve got dirt on my face and blood, I’m running around. Yes. This is definitely the place I want Hermione to be. It’s really really nice to get back to the action, it’s great. Read more . . .

There’s a video of a press conference here, the same conference we posted photos from the other day in which Emma’s wearing that lovely green dress. It’s becoming quite confusing to try to keep up with the new videos, so – well, hope you haven’t seen that one yet!
