After rumors arose that Watson was considering quitting her role as Hermione in the franchise, the world was ready to weep. Stressed by the demands of the role and her inability to pursue a normal adolescent life, Watson began to reconsider her acting career.
Probed on the dilemma, she revealed, "I probably would have been public enemy No. 1. I would have found it very difficult watching the movies being made without me as a part of them, because I grew up making them. Being a part of this film franchise feels like part of my identity in a way. I would have gotten a lot more sleep. But I definitely made the right decision."
Watson wasn't as intense of a bookworm as Hermione when she attended college. After graduating, the actress opened up about her experience as a famous celebrity at a regular university. She even dished about the rager she threw for herself and her 100 closest friends.
"I've never even been asked for an autograph on campus," Watson revealed. "I threw a party for nearly 100 students and not a single person put a photo on Facebook." Whether or not Watson passed out a non-disclosure agreement is unknown, but at least the girl knows how to party.

"The first one was incredible, obviously, because everything was new, and everything being a novelty is very exciting," Watson explained. "From an acting perspective, this last movie was amazing because I had such big parts, and it was really challenging and demanding."
