She said: "I’ve tried to live exactly the same life that I did before I got the role. I think it’s really kept me sane and it would be so easy to just, given how busy I am doing this, to lose touch with people and the friends that I had before I took the role."
And the actress revealed she can’t wait to turn 18.
"I’m learning to drive at the moment. Just to get in a car and go anywhere I want - just the freedom of that. I can’t wait to go to uni and go travelling and live on my own and be able to do my own washing."

Emma: I live a normal life - June 7 2007
Harry Potter’s Emma Watson may be one of the most recognised child stars, but it seems she has her feet firmly on the ground.
The 17-year-old, who plays Harry’s clever pal Hermione in the hit films, says she has no problem coping with fame, reports the Daily Express.

The role of Hermione Granger is Emma’s debut into professional acting - and what a debut! Emma didn’t expect to get the part at all, as she was competing against so many other actresses. But luckily for Harry Potter fans - she did!
Away from acting, Emma is an avid hockey player, recently receiving her colors for the school team. She also enjoys rounders and netball, and likes to take part in all kinds of school activities including athletics and sculling. Her parents are both lawyers and are divorced, so Emma lives with her mother and younger brother Alex, 9.
