"Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" is the next big thing in the wizard fantasy that fans are anticipating after the J.K. Rowling Harry Potter series. With Katherine Waterson as Porpentina Goldstein, it cannot be helped to compare her to Emma Watson who played the role of Hermione Granger.
Katherine Waterson explained in an interview with Collider that her in "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" and Emma Watson's characters are entirely different. That means, that fans or critics should not compare the two. All Harry Potters fans knew that Watson played the character of Hermione very well. As such, Waterson holds a deep respect to Watson and does not want to be compared to her.
Katherine Waterson also believed that she should not be forced to carry the load of Emma Watson's great performance in the Harry Potter series. She believes that, though the two characters move in the same Harry Potter Universe, Porpentina and Hermione are two different characters.
The question whether Katherine Watson will be the next icon in the Harry Potter universe is inevitable. Soon kids, and those kids-at-heart, will be buying "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" toys and t-shirts with her face plastered on it.
In the movie "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them," Porpentia will have a siste named Queenie, portrayed by Alison Sudol. In an interview with IGN, Sudol described the relationship of two sisters. Since their parents died when they were still very young, they kind of take good care of each other. Katherine Waterson's character is more mature and grounded, while Sudol's is more perceptive and emphatic.
