Emma Watson is starting to trade in on her Harry Potter acting experience and good for her! She is starring in a BBC�production of Ballet Shoes, a drama set in the 1930′s of an orphaned girl adopted by an eccentric explorer.

While the young actress says she couldn’t pass up the “amazing project,” she has revealed she occasionally craves a normal teenage life away from the spotlight.

She told the Daily Telegraph: “I’m not the girl they get the number 19 bus into town with to grab a coffee.”

“I just get mobbed. It’s an uncomfortable experience for everyone. Sometimes I miss the fact that I have never really been a teenager because I have been Hermione for such a long time.”

Emma has already amassed a �10million fortune, but she is applying to Cambridge University as a backstop “in case acting doesn’t work out.”

Still, the 17-year-old is grateful for her early success: “I just tell myself I won the lottery.”

This is the hardest time in a child actor’s life: the transition from kid to adult when everyone wants to continue to view you as the child in that famous role and all the kid wants to do it grow up. She certainly sounds like she has a good handle on the situation.
