Emma Watson's SoHo Shopping Spree

Posted Wednesday July 13, 2011 7:00 PM GMT

Having wrapped up her "Harry Potter" premiere efforts, Emma Watson treated herself to a SoHo shopping spree in New York City on Wednesday afternoon (July 13).

The darling actress stopped to look at jewelry being sold on the street before sprinting off to try and catch a cab - but she ended up being turned on, as the driver surprisingly told her that he was off duty.

With "Deathly Hallows Part 2" hitting theaters on Friday (July 15), Emma was recently asked by TeenHollywood about her feelings on the hit franchise drawing to an end. To this, she replied, "It’s so strange. I can’t articulate it. Emotional overall but a real sense of excitement about the next chapter of my life starting but I feel sad and nostalgic about all of this coming to an end. It’s been such a huge part of my life that it’s almost scary to acknowledge that there is going to be so much change."

As for what she has planned next, Emma said, I'm going to travel this summer which I’m really excited about. Change is always scary, but I feel very excited and I feel like I'm entering a new chapter and getting a fresh start. Then, I'm going back to school in the fall. I've got two years left until I complete my degree. I just finished a film called The Perks of Being a Wallflower which was just the most incredible experience. I had the best six weeks (on that). Having an experience like that outside of 'Harry Potter' is what really convinced me that acting really is what I should be doing; that I was good at it. It really solidified that for me."
