After Jonathan asked her to describe her outfit, she said: ‘It’s a purple leather dress, with slits.

The actress also admitted she found playing another character daunting.
She explained: ‘I didn’t know if I believed in myself yet as an actress, outside the role of Hermione, which I knew I could do, and I did for a long time. I didn’t know if I had other people in me or not.
;I did doubt myself a little bit. I think I’d just played one person, who in many ways was similar to my own personality, and I played her for ten years and I got so comfortable doing that, that the idea of coming out and playing somebody else was terrifying.’
