The Vine: Can you talk about the scene when Hermione faces Bellatrix, when she writes ‘mudblood’ on your heart. It was really powerful.
EMMA WATSON: Thank you very much. It was very weirdly affecting to do that scene. It was quite horrible. I think Helena said to me afterwards, she was like, ‘I really didn’t enjoy doing that.’ [Laughs] And she usually gets very into all of that kind of evil stuff, but I think she felt quite uncomfortable. But, actually, the ‘mudblood’ idea wasn’t something that was written in the script. It’s something that Helena and I came up with, because I was like, ‘Well, if she’s just kind of doing a spell on me, I can make it look like it’s painful, but I think it would be really powerful to have something that the audience can actually like physically see.’ So, the ‘mudblood’ we came up with. We all sat designing what Bellatrix’s handwriting would look like for like 40 minutes and we were like,‘Well, we think that’s what she would write like.’ So, yeah, we had a lot of fun with it.
The Vine: You had said at the time that when you guys did that, the cast and crew and everyone felt very awkward, because it felt so real.
Emma Watson: Everyone did feel very awkward. It was funny. Carlota, who is my great friend and who did my hair and makeup for the whole movie, she bolted for the door. She really wanted to come in and save me. And so I did one take and David let the camera roll for like two minutes and just sort of just left me there screaming. [Laughs] So, when I looked at the edit I was like, ‘Wow, fair enough.’ You can’t have two minutes of me screaming, but I did that a lot longer than was actually shown.But, no, I think it was quite disturbing for the crew, which I was pleased about, obviously, because it showed I was doing a good job. But I think it wasn’t a fun day for everyone on set.
