Emma Watson
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was the
daughter of British parents Jacqueline Luesby (a lawyer) and Chris Watson (a
French mother). When she was five years old, she moved to Oxfordshire where she
attended Dragon School. Emma knew from the time she was six years old that she
wanted to become an actor. Over the course of several years, she was a student
at the Oxford Stagecoach Theatre Arts branch in which she was taught singing,
dancing, acting, and more. When she was 10 she was performing and played the lead
role in numerous Stagecoach productions as well as school plays. In 1999
casting began for Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone (2001), the film
adaptation of British author J.K. Rowling's bestselling novel. Emma was
identified by casting agents via her Oxford theatre teacher. After eight
auditions David Heyman informed Emma and Rupert Grint that they were chosen to
play Hermione Granger as well as Harry Potter. Emma's first appearance on
screen in cinema was with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001). The
film was the most successful film of 2001 in terms both of weekend and opening
day sales. The performances of the film and of its three young actors received
praise from reviewers. The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper with a huge
circulation, said that her performance was "admirable". Emma was
awarded five more times for her role in the film, among them the Young Artist
Award, for the Best Young Actress in the feature Film. Emma was a star after
the film's first success in the franchise. In the ten years that followed, she
played the character of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films Harry Potter
and the Sorcerer's Stone 2001, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 2002,
