Wow, is her timing Fast!!

This woman's mind is so Fast and Deep! She is clearly a genius with lightning-fast improvisational reflexes. Amazing timing and ideas! (I'd love to see her paired in a comedy with the likes of one of my favorites, Stephen Root.)

I'm (unfortunately) only familiar with her work in the Harry Potter movies, but in those, there is so much detail and speed in her performances, that it's hard for this 20-year musician to even keep up with every nuance. How does this woman practice -- with a metronome going at 300 BPM?? With DVDs playing at 150% speed?

Amazing, Emma, you are a true inspiraion!

she is indeed amazing. Me being only 22 I first saw her on Harry Potter but I did caught her in other movies later on. Watch both Nanny McPhee movies for more quirky, funny and talented Emma.

She practices drunk while on stage at an awards show. If only she would first practice presenting on stage before she did this!

That comment only shows that she is a really great actress if you really believe she was actually drunk. She has said it a thousend times: Anything for a laugh ;0)

To me she was the highlight of the award season. I wish she could of been at the Oscar. She made me laugh.
