Emma Watson has said that she is happy living a normal life rather than a glamorous Hollywood existence.

The Harry Potter actress, who became famous after taking on the role of Hermione Granger at the age of 11, revealed that she tries to keep her feet on the ground whenever she can.

"I have a more normal life than people expect. When I take public transport, people are like: 'That girl looks like the girl from Harry Potter, but it can't be her on the train,'" she said.

"I get stopped by people, but that's fine. I'd never want to be so famous that I couldn't live a normal life to a certain extent."

The 18-year-old added that she does not like the idea of being so famous that she could not leave her house without being hassled.

"I can't imagine anything lonelier, just not being able to be part of the real world and being trapped and locked in hotel rooms and cars," she said.
