He then speaks of the torture scene with Bellatrix and Hermione.  “Emma was really keen to do this scene.  She completely gave herself over to the scene.  We set up a few cameras, and Helena got on top of her.  Helena was writing ‘mudblood’ on Emma’s arm, so she was scoring her skin, so we just let the whole thing role for like three or four minutes, and in that time we got some good bits and not so good bits,” he said.  “There were some bits that were very powerful where Emma just let go for a while and forgot that she was acting…she lost herself in this process and her screams were quite horrible, and you could feel it on the set.  Everyone felt uncomfortable; everyone just sort of stepped back a bit.  It was a very odd energy in the room.  She was kind of exploring and exercising demons and serving the scene in doing that.  It was very interesting.”
