You may or may not know that back in 2000, Anna tried out for Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films. Of course, the role went to Emma Watson, who did an Interview recently where she mentions the Hermione auditions and another contestant who she was up against. Emma doesn't mention any names, but there is a strong
possibility she could be referring to Anna - who had recently finished filming
A Little Vampire at the time:
Blasberg:Did you meet any of the other girls that were going out for the parts?
Watson:Yes! I won't say the name, but there was this girl who had already done a film before. I can remember just crumbling at the sight of her, thinking "she's been in a film before, and she knows how to do this. I have no chance." Even worse, one time I came to the studios and she was there playing cards with one of the other boys auditioning for Harry -- not Daniel Radcliffe. And I was like "Oh, my god they're making friends already! I'm definately not going to get it." I was so, so upset.
Blasberg: I bet those two have pictures of you and Daniel Radcliffe on their dartboards now.
Watson:Probably, but I wanted it so badly. {emmasource.org}
Hmm..I'd think Anna was a little too busy filming the Narnia movies for the whole dartboard thing, Emma. At any rate, we're glad she was available to play Susan Pevensie. Now shooting at their pictures from an archery board, on the other hand..
