Well, at ten years old, she made her film debut as Harry Potter's fellow wizard in training in the blockbuster hit, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Here's the lovely young Emma Watson.

Oh, Emma, don't worry about it.

You look great.

Oh, no!

I'm Regis and she's Kelly and welcome to our show.

Jump up here Emma, let's talk.

This is Emma's first time in New York, first time in America.

And what are your thoughts, Emma?

I love it.

It's amazing.

A little lively for you?

It's kind of like London intensified.

Sure, oh yeah, London intensified.

Very good answer.

Where do you live in England?

I live in Oxfordshire.

And what is that like?

It sounds pastoral, you know, and cattle grazing.

it's not quite that it's kind of um it's it's got loads of colleges

so I don't know what you've heard of Oxford that's like college

and it's like loads of schools and it's it's quite big

but it's not quite as busy as London

and you go to school in your neighborhood yeah good

and you have a little brother I do

and what's he like um it's nice do you get to get along with him yes no fighting

or Is he an actor as well?

No, but he's very, very interested in that.

He's very interested in that.

Especially now with your newfound stardom.

Sure, sure.

He wants to be you.

And what do your parents do?

My parents, they're both lawyers.

Both lawyers.

Good.

Now, is this the very first time you've acted?

Or how did this film come to you?

Basically, my school got the audition.

No kidding?

Yeah.

Which is really surprising.

It's a really strange way to get into it you know like have agents

and stuff like that but I didn't say um

and I it was done in my school gym

and what was the audition like well it was exactly like

a drama lesson really it didn't really feel as though they

were auditioning us I think about 16 of us all together

so it kind of wasn't focused on me

or anyone else yeah um had you been a fan of

Harry Potter books before they came yeah I was in the middle of the third one

when I started even like auditioning so I was major how I put a fan

And did you feel that you sounded like the character, that you embodied the character?

Did you picture yourself as the character when you were reading the book?

Now that I've made the film, when I read the book, I see myself as Hermione.

But before I never, it wasn't even in my wildest dreams.

So what happened when you learned you got the part that must have been the thrill of your life, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, it was, I can't believe it.

And what did the other kids say at school?

Why you?

Why you, Emma Watson? Because I'm worth it.

I guess she told you.

This is a major movie, your first time on a movie set.

I mean, what was it like?

Did you have fun making the film, or was it a lot of work?

It's not as glamorous as everyone sees it.

Yes, absolutely.

It's really different it's there's so many people involved yes just

and everything's so big and did you remember all your lines

or did you muff them once in a

while everyone muffs them once in a while yeah um

but i mean if they did it in such small chunks

that it wasn't you didn't really have to remember

that much it was just she does an amazing job in

this film my son has quite a crush oh really his first crush You'd love him.

He's three years old.

He can't beat a good younger man, you know.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
