Harry Potter Star Emma Watson Hopes to Follow Daniel Radcliffe to Broadway

Harry Potter heroine Emma Watson hasn’t yet seen Daniel Radcliffe’s star turn in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, but she’s already thinking about following his example and appearing on Broadway. “It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do,” Watson told the Associated Press. “The idea of having a live audience is just really appealing to me. I think that must be an amazing experience.”

Watson is taking a semester off from Brown University to promote the DVD release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I on April 15 (her 21st birthday) and the theatrical release of Part II in July. She will begin filming The Perks of Being a Wallflower in May.

Speaking of her 10-year history as Hermione Granger opposite Radcliffe as Harry Potter and Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, Watson said, “We’ll always be friends. We’ll always be in touch. They’re great boys.” No word on whether Watson has a musical or play in mind for her Broadway debut.
