Emma Watson says that she was keen to show that she can transform as an actress with her new role in The Perks of Being A Wallflower.
The actress is trying to forge an acting career after the mammoth success of the Harry Potter franchise and she is keen to show that she has other sides to her as an actress.
Speaking to The AP the actress said: "I hope what [Harry Potter fans] can see is that I am able to transform, that there are other sides of me that perhaps they haven't seen yet, and that they might allow me a little bit of room.
"I mean, just doing American really is different. People have said to me that they keep forgetting it's me when they see the movie, which for me is more than enough. That's a success in itself for me, really."
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is the big screen adaptation of the novel by Stephen Chbosky - and Chbosky has penned the screenplay and is also in the director's chair for the movie.
The Perks of Being A Wallflower sees Watson team up with Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller in a movie that follows a group of teenagers as they cope with the stresses and strains of adolescence.
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is released 3rd October.
