Although the Ed Sullivan Theater was vandalized this morning, taping for tonight’s The Late Show with David Letterman goes on as planned and Harry Potter actress Emma Watson will work her magic on the studio audience today.

Emma, 21, wore a silver sparkle one shoulder dress with navy and black silk trim from Balmain for the taping.

Earlier in the day, Watson chatted with Today show hosts wearing a Prada shift dress accented by a Peter Pan collar.

Watson will sit in the chair for a quick interview with Letterman before changing and heading to the NY premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II tonight.

Wonder what she will choose for the red carpet tonight?

The final HP film, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part II premieres in London today at Trafalgar Square with all eyes on Emma Watson‘s red carpet choice and she does not disappoint.

Watson was breathtaking in a sleeveless gown with embroidered bodice and layers of tulle for the skirt from Oscar de la Renta. What a fantastic gown to wear.

The 21 year-old star covers UK Harper’s Bazaar and told the magazine that fashion is just downright mean in ways.

“It can be savage and cruel, in that it’s prescriptive — you have to look a certain way and fit a certain mould — but also in the way it’s made.”

Watson just wrapped filming on The Perks of Being A Wallflower with Logan Lerman and Nina Dobrev.

Deathly Hallows Part II opens in the U.S. on July 15th.

Good girl or bad girl; both sides of Emma Watson magically appear on the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK.

In the issue, Watson reveals her feelings about L.A., the fashion industry and how uneasy she is trying to be the bad girl.

On not wanting to live in Los Angeles: “LA scares the crap out of me. I feel if I have to work out four hours a day, and count the calories of everything I put in my mouth, and have Botox at 22, and obsess about how I look the whole time, I will go mad, I will absolutely lose it.”

On the fashion industry and it’s inherent meanness: “It can be savage and cruel, in that it’s prescriptive — you have to look a certain way and fit a certain mould — but also in the way it’s made.”

On why cheap clothing isn’t great: “When I went out to Bangladesh, to a factory where the clothes are made [for mass-market labels], it was horrifying. There is a cost to cheap clothes — if people could see the inhumane way they’re made, they would never in a million years buy them…”

On not being the bad girl: “My acting tutor said the hardest thing for me was to get angry. I almost broke down in tears when they tried to get me to be angry. I said, “I can’t do it, I just can’t do it.” I keep all of that really bottled up somewhere and I feel unleashing it would be the scariest thing – and to let myself be powerful, sexy, all those things, it’s scary for me. [Even playing the bad girl in this shoot] felt a bit uncomfortable and awkward, it didn’t come naturally at all.”

Watson will next be seen on screen in the final HP film. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 hits theaters July 15th.

She just wrapped filming on The Perks of Being A Wallflower with Logan Lerman and Nina Dobrev. That film is due in 2012.

Emma Watson comes clean about who was her Harry Potter crush and despite everyone linking her through the years to costars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, neither turned the actress’ head.

It turns out, it was none other than Draco Malfoy actor Tom Felton who sent Emma’s pre-teenage heart racing.

Watson, 21, tells Seventeen magazine that her and Felton are still close and they can share a laugh about the whole thing.

“For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton,” Emma tells the magazine. “He was my first crush. He totally knows. We talked about it – we still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that’s cool.”

Having a crush on someone you know is something Emma gets, but fantasizing about someone you’ve never met is something she can’t fathom.

“I’ve never understood having crushes on people who you don’t know in real life. I only crush on people I meet. I mean, I can appreciate that someone is good-looking, obviously, but I don’t intend to fantasize about people I don’t know!”

Catch Emma on the cover of Seventeen on sale July 5th.

The next chapter of her life is starting and Emma Watson tells the July issue of Vogue, she’s ready for it.

“I want to live like Patti, she says of Patti Smith, whose biography she just finished. “I want to write like Patti. The book was so honest and brave. I loved the way she sees the world. I really felt that life was more beautiful after I read it, and I felt more hopeful.”

After fighting the studio to accomodate her desire to go to college, Watson says she signed on for the last films when Warner Bros. agreed to make it possible, she felt able to throw herself into filming with renewed energy.

“As the role of Hermione became more interesting,” says David Yates, the director of the last four Potter films, “Emma became more engaged. She is an incredibly intuitive and instinctive actor. She can dig deep to find an emotion and bring it to the scene.”

Watson is ready to push herself artistically and her next big role as Sam in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, is a radical change from Hermoine Granger.

“Hermione is so close to who I am as a person that I’ve never really had to research a role,” she says. “I’m literally rediscovering what it means to be an actress.”

“I’ve probably earned the right to screw up a few times,” Emma said. “I don’t want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.”
