Being a lawyer, Chris wanted to make sure that his daughter's life stayed as damn normal as possible.
Yep, people, even her school homework was brought straight to school by motorbike during filming! Can you imagine that? Meanwhile, Emma was still kickin' ass at school, playing hockey and cricket. Pretty damn cool, huh?
Chat with Chris, the Wise Owl
If those parents of the upcoming Harry, Hermione, and Ron wanna chat with someone who's been through the wringer, Chris is more than happy to lend a helping hand. Yeah, that's right, he's offering guidance to the new generation of "Harry Potter" parentals.
Emma Watson: The Successful Transition
Remember, kids, Emma Watson is often looked at as a shining example of a child star who made it through the Hollywood jungle without turning into a basket case. So, ya know, that advice from Chris might be worth listenin' to.
Since the "Harry Potter" series came to an end, Emma has bagged a bachelor's degree in English lit and has been a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, advocating for women's and girls' rights, as well as gettin' into environmental and climate activism.
Divin' into Darker Roles
Emma hasn't performed in a film since "Little Women" in 2019. In an interview in 2023, she confessed that she felt like a frickin' fish in a goldfish bowl in the film world and didn't enjoy takin' sides on projects she didn't have creative control over.
However, Harry actor Daniel Radcliffe struggled more with the dark side of fame, while Ron actor Rupert Grint wanted to flounce after the "Harry Potter" films because he thought no one would want to see him in other roles. But, he later decided to give it another shot and has been morphing into some creepier roles lately, like in Shyamalan's "Knock at the Cabin."
