Move over, Harry Potter: Emma Watson‘s ready for a change of character!
The 21-year actress is gearing up for her role as a hard-partying high school senior in the 2012 film The Parks of Being A Wall Flower —a movie, based on a novel, for which she sought out financing herself!
In her new interview with Vogue, Watson says, “Sam is such a different girl from who I am. I’ve been listening to The Smiths [her character's favorite band] on repeat for weeks.”
And Vogue reports that “In true Emma style, she went to Hollywood to help raise the financing for the movie.”
The magazine also draws a correlation between the story’s ending and Emma’s own sensibility. Vogue writer Amanda Foreman writes, “Near the end of the novel, Sam speaks for every young woman with a burning heart, a radiant soul, and a devouring need to experience all that life has to offer.
