That Time Emma Watson’s Dad Reached Out With A Warning For The New Harry Potter TV Series Actors: ‘You Have To Be Scared’

by

As a die-hard movie fan, I can’t help but reminisce about how the Harry Potter films catapulted three unrecognized talents into international stardom. It’s not hard to imagine that the upcoming Harry Potter TV series, exclusively on HBO Max, could replicate this magic for the three fresh faces gracing its main roles. Given that even Emma Watson’s father can vouch for the life-altering impact her success brought, he undoubtedly has some wisdom to share with the parents of these rising stars.

In an interview with Times Radio (as reported by The Independent), Chris Watson expressed his backing towards the parents of the young actors selected for roles as Harry, Ron, and Hermione. While the new fame is likely to pose challenges for Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout, it will also present a unique situation for their families to manage. Watson acknowledged that this could be an intimidating experience for everyone involved, as he shared…

Experiencing fear as a parent is quite normal and can be challenging for both the parent and the child. However, it’s also possible that they may find ways to cope with or even overcome their fears together.

The lives of these three Harry Potter actors are on the verge of significant transformation, a shift that will undoubtedly ripple through their entire families. While this prospect is thrilling, it’s not difficult to understand why it also instills fear. Each actor who was part of the films has openly discussed the impact of Potter fame, revealing that it hasn’t always been positive. For instance, Daniel Radcliffe confessed to using alcohol as a means to manage these changes.

Chris Watson might offer one of the most effective strategies for handling celebrity-related issues. It appears he doesn’t frequently watch the films; it’s uncertain if he’s ever seen them. Reportedly, Emma Watson’s parents didn’t emphasize the movies in their household, which could have contributed to Watson avoiding being overly influenced by fame during her upbringing. He went on to say…

It turned out beneficial that we didn’t regularly watch movies at home, as it made it simpler for us to maintain her focus and keep her grounded.

Currently, it seems as though Emma Watson’s father might be the sole individual on Earth yet to watch the Harry Potter films. Given their enduring popularity, this reboot is being launched, ensuring these three actors will likely be ubiquitous within the next year, appearing almost everywhere. Here’s wishing them, along with their families, are well-prepared for the fame ahead.

There’s no lack of child actors who struggled with moving into adult roles, whether they retained fame or not. The three original Harry Potter cast members managed this transition, so it might be wise for the new stars and their families to heed any guidance offered.
