Emma Watson

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born in Paris, France, to British parents Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson who were both lawyers. They moved to Oxfordshire at the age of five years old and went to the Dragon School. From the age of six years old, Emma was aware that she wanted to be an actor and, for a period of years she was trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre academy where she learned to sing, dance and acting. At ten years old Emma was already participating taking part in Stagecoach productions as well as school plays. In 1999 the casting process started for Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone (2001), the movie adaptation of British author J.K. Rowling's bestselling novel. Casting agents stumbled upon Emma through her Oxford theater teacher. After eight consecutive auditions, David Heyman revealed to Emma and Rupert Grint (other applicants), that they had been chosen to play Hermione Gringer, Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley. The release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) was Emma's film debut. It was the highest-grossing movie in 2001, breaking records in terms of opening day sales and opening weekend performances. Critics praised the film and the performances of the young actors. The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper with a huge readership, described her performance as "admirable". Emma won the Young Artist Award as Leading Young Actress in a Film Film and was nominated to win five more prizes. After the debut film in the highly successful Harry Potter franchise, Emma became one of the most popular actresses across the world. She continued to play the role of Hermione Granger for nearly 10 years, appearing in all of the subsequent Harry Potter films: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011). Emma was nominated for two Critics' Choice Awards from the Broadcast Film Critics Association.
