In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Emma Watson revealed that she wouldn't mind following in her Harry Potter co-star's footsteps by starring in a show on the Great White Way. Watson commented: "It's something that I've always wanted to do. The idea of having a live audience is just really appealing to me. I think that must be an amazing experience."

Watson has not yet stopped by the Al Hirschfeld Theatre to see friend Daniel Radcliffe in HOW TO SUCCEED.

Watson rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger, one of three starring roles in the Harry Potter film series. Watson was cast as Hermione at the age of nine, having previously acted only in school plays.From 2001 to 2010, she starred in seven Harry Potter films alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint; she will return for the final installment: the second part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Watson's work on the Harry Potter series has earned her several awards and more than £10 million.  The last installment of the series will be released in theatres July 15.

In 2007, Watson announced her involvement in two non-Harry Potter productions: the television adaptation of the novel Ballet Shoes and an animated film, The Tale of Despereaux. Ballet Shoes was broadcast on 26 December 2007 to an audience of 5.2 million, and The Tale of Despereaux, based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo, was released in 2008 and grossed over US $70 million in worldwide sales.
