Chapter 438: A Dream Companion
However, although the process was a little awkward, the Watson family finally agreed that in order to play Hermione Granger well, Emma needed to take various acting classes to strengthen her acting skills.
- By the way, the "family motto" of "either don't do it, or do it well" has really become the family motto of the Watson family.
"At least it's better than "Winter is coming" that sounds like a fantasy, right?"
In the face of Emma, Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson, who are fantasy lovers, are speechless.
In short, Emma's intensive study plan was thus settled.
This made the pace of life of the Watson family a lot more tense.
- After all, as a little girl who is not yet 8 years old, Emma can't go to acting class on her own. Each time you accompany you, you have to take up Mr. or Mrs. Watson's time.
However, even though she hasn't celebrated her 8th birthday yet, Emma has grown quite fast in recent times.
"It's like magic!"
After measuring Emma's height once, Mr. Watson couldn't help but be a little worried,
"Honey, you're not going to start developing early, are you?"
- You must know that even if the European and American races generally develop early, it is still problematic to develop before the age of 8.
But after asking Mrs. Watson to check it out, this possibility was eliminated again—
At least Emma's chest was still smooth as a mirror, and there were no signs of early secondary sexual characteristics.
"Maybe it's because I've grown faster lately!"
Mr. Watson breathed a sigh of relief.
In contrast, Emma was very happy that she had grown taller.
On the one hand, taller, larger-looking children are less bullied at school.
Moreover, tall people are also more noticeable.
Emma loves the feeling of being at the center of the crowd.
On the other hand, this also solves a problem -
"Now, those people can't say I'm too short to play Hermione!"
Emma said indignantly.
Because the young actors of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" selected by Charlotte are generally under the age of 10, this makes some media wonder if there will be no feeling of an 11-year-old child in the original book when the time comes.
Emma, in particular, is not yet 8 years old, so she can be said to be the youngest of them.
In the face of this suspicion, it would be impossible to say that Emma was not worried at all.
That's why she's growing taller now, which makes her look so happy.
Mr. Watson was happy for his daughter. But—
"Honey, can you please not wave that wand while you say this, I always have the feeling that you will use your magic to turn those journalists into frogs. ”
Mr. Watson was joking with his daughter.
- Although he is indeed a little helpless about the wand that his daughter holds in his hand from time to time.
That wand was sent by the crew of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
With the "Hogwarts Admission Notice".
The crew's intentions are actually obvious, and Mr. Watson has gradually figured it out-
They are afraid that the selected young actors' acting skills will not be up to standard, so they want to let the young actors gradually form the feeling that they are "little wizards" through this subtle way.
In this way, when filming, the crew can reduce a lot of trouble.
In fact, the children are given regular acting lessons, and special Hogwarts uniforms are given to them for the same purpose.
"It's great for the film, but won't the children be confused about the difference between fantasy and reality?"
For Mr. Watson's concern, his daughter Emma scoffed,
"Ever since I was five years old, when I caught Daddy pretending to be Santa Claus stuffing gifts into my bedside socks, I've been well aware of the line between reality and illusion!"
Emma's words embarrassed Mr. Watson a little,
"Daughter, I know you're smart, but ......"
Mr. Watson didn't know how to describe it, and finally could only say,
"If this continues, you will never be able to distinguish between fantasy and reality!"
"Eight to ten years old isn't that the age of that!"
Emma pouted.
Mr. Watson suddenly realized—
Indeed, children at this age are originally fond of dreaming. Like Peter Pan, each of them has a Neverland in their hearts.
Daughter Emma is smart, but at the end of the day, she would not believe in those dreams and Santa Claus so early, not because of precociousness, but because of Mr. Watson's divorce from her mother.
- The divorce of parents is the fastest way to kill a child's childhood dreams.
It is also for this reason that Mr. Watson has always felt a little guilty about Emma.
Now that I think about it, even if Emma becomes a child who can't distinguish between reality and fantasy and loves to dream because of her appearance in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", there is nothing wrong with it.
- That's what a kid at this age is!
- Think of it as making up for the missing part of Emma's previous childhood!
Mr. Watson thought to himself.
Emma didn't know her father's complicated feelings.
Although she is smart, she is only a child under the age of eight after all.
She just loved the wand.
Although little girls of her age, most of them like things like Barbie dolls.
- This shows that she is destined to play Hermione Granger!
Emma said to herself.
Of course, she can distinguish between fantasy and reality, but this does not mean that she does not have the illusions that children of the same age should have.
In fact, in recent times, Emma has dreamed several times that she has really become Hermione Granger and goes to school in a mysterious castle.
"That's what I thought of Hogwarts!"
Although she couldn't remember the contents of the dream, Emma remembered only that she was Hermione Granger.
She couldn't help but wonder what the real Hogwarts would be like......
And as a young actor who was also selected by the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Tom Felton is not as happy as Emma Watson.
Although, being chosen to play Draco Malfoy also made him excited for a while.
However, after all, it was only for a while.
- You know, the first thing he wanted to play was Harry Potter!
Tom Felton, born in 1987, is now in his early 10s. He has acted in commercials and is good at singing.
Based on his resume and age, Tom felt that he should be a serious contender for the role of Harry Potter.
As a result, he was chosen as Malfoy......
Tom felt that this must be a prank by the goddess of fate.
But even so, as a fan of the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Tom is still very happy to be able to star in this movie.
- just not so happy anymore.
- It's not Harry Potter after all!!
Tom just went on with his life step by step until ......
