Emma Watson
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson, also known as Emma Watson is a British film actress who is widely known for her role in Harry Potter as Hermione Granger. She was born in 15 April 1990 in Paris, France to lawyer parents Jacqueline and Chris. She has a brother named Alex who is three years younger than her. When Emma was five years old, her parents divorced and this event forced her and her brother to move to Oxfordshire to live with their mother. She had her earlier education in The Dragon School, a private preparatory school and she studied here until 2003. After that she shifted to an all girl school named the Headington School. She attended the GCSE examination in 2006 for ten subjects and won eight A+ and two A grades. Emma Watson does not have a boyfriend and she thinks that her celebrity status is partly responsible for this. She says, �Guys are either intimidated by me, or they have defences up, or they like to take the piss out of me."She was a very talented girl, not only in the studies but also in a variety of fields like acting, poetry etc. At the age of seven Emma won first prize in a school poetry competition.When she was nine years old an agent who were in search of young talents across Briton to audition for the parts of Harry, Ron and Hermione found her and after several auditions she was got selected for the role of Hermione in the Harry Potter film series. Emma recalls that she auditioned for the part as Hermione because her friends did and she thought it would �be a laugh�, her drama teacher at the time recommended Emma to the casting agents who obviously saw the same potential in her.At the age of ten she starred in her first Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone �the first one in the series of Harry Potter movies taken from the hugely popular books written by J.K Rowling. The movie was a huge hit worldwide and she got the kind of start for her career that she really deserves.Even though J.K Rowling had not yet met Emma, she told in a phone conversation with her that Emma is absolutely perfect for the role of Hermione. She also won critical acclaim from movie critics all over the world for her performance in Harry Potter.When her first Harry Potter movie released, she was ten years old and she has since appeared in all subsequent Harry Potter films: Chamber of Secrets (2002), Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), and Goblet of Fire (2005), and has finished filming Order of the Phoenix which is all set to release July 3 this year.Earlier in 2007 some sources reported that she refused to sign contract to appear in the final two Harry Potter films but in late March this year her commitment to those final two films was confirmed by Warner brothers.She is extremely committed to her character Hermione in the Harry Potter series "I could never let Hermione go--she is my hero! I love her too much and love what playing her has meant to me. I am excited and honoured to be finishing what I started and playing her in all seven of the films� she said in an interview.Just like in the movie which made her so famous, her real life is also full of magical things.
