“Yeah. I think I was scared,” Watson replies. “I don’t know if you ever felt like it got to a tipping point where you were like, this is kind of forever now… The fame thing had finally hit home in a big way.”
Co-star Tom Felton pointed out how much pressure weighed on Watson’s shoulders as the franchise’s only female lead.
