Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born on April 15, 1990 in Paris. His parents, both British lawyers, are Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson. Her brother, Alex, was born three years later. Her parents divorced when Watson was 5 and she moved back to Oxfordshire in England with her mother and brother.
Watson attended Stagecoach Theater Arts School in Oxford. She studied singing, acting and dancing and performed in school plays. Her natural instinct for comedy first surfaced when she won a poetry contest for reciting James Reeves’ “The Sea” at the age of 7.
Watson had never acted professionally when her acting teachers suggested her to agents looking to cast an upcoming film based on the first novel in the hit Harry Potter series. Watson, 9, has auditioned eight times for the role that would make her an international star. Harry Potter author JK Rowling, who was deeply involved in the film’s process to ensure it stayed true to the book, wanted Watson involved in the project.
Watson impressed the casting agents and film producers enough and won the role of Hermione Granger, Harry Potter’s smart and bossy best friend and voice of reason. Harry Potter was portrayed by Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint was cast as Ron Weasley, Harry’s other best friend. The trio of British child actors would become known worldwide for their roles as young wizards fighting a battle between good and evil, beginning with the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in November 2001.
Watson’s film debut was a huge success: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone took in a record $33.3 million on its opening day in the US, on its way to grossing $975 million dollars worldwide. He was nominated for three Oscars and seven BAFTA Awards, with Watson receiving critical acclaim for cementing his rising star status.
For the next decade, Watson remained busy filming the Potter series. She reprized the role of Hermione for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in 2002 and for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in 2004, and continued to star in the eight-part series through the final film, Harry Potter. and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, in 2011.
Although they spent their teenage years on film sets, Watson and bandmates Radcliffe and Grint went to school, with five hours of tutoring a day. Watson took high school equivalency exams and scored high in all subjects. She took a year off from school to film the final two Harry Potter films, but maintained she was determined to continue her education.
Watson tried to shake off his child star image, so closely tied to the Potter franchise. “I lived in a complete bubble. They found me and cast me for the role. And now I’m desperately trying to find my way,” she said in a 2011 interview with Vogue.

As a teenager who became an established movie star, Watson also became a fashionista, with her style catching the attention of many prominent figures in the fashion industry. ” I love fashion. I think that’s so important, because that’s how you show yourself to the world,” she once told Teen Vogue.

Maintaining her commitment to her education, Watson enrolled as a freshman at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island in the fall of 2009. Watson said she chose an American university over a British education because the American system allows students to study several subjects at the same time. . Brown was also a place, Watson said, where she could more easily blend in. “I want to be normal,” she said. “I really want anonymity. »
