We all watched Emma as she grew along with co-stars Daniel and Rupert in the legendary Harry Potter series. We saw her as she gracefully transitioned from one phase to another and we can’t help but love how she became a beauty.
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson, the daughter of English lawyers Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson, was born in Paris, France. Her favorite actor is Johnny Depp and her favorite actress is Julia Roberts. Emma was the former roommate and current best friend of British model Sophie Sumner (if you watched America’s Next Top Model Cycle 18, you would definitely know her).
Emma is known in Hollywood as an actress who is fond of portraying literally characters. Coincidentally (or not), she rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger in the film adaptation of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter book series. She played Hermione’s character so well that I was totally buying it to the point where I forgot her real name and just referred to her as Hermione. I think everyone experiences this most especially if the actor brings life to the character really effectively.
Today though, the actress is ready to move on and has been doing her best to shed her persona of Hermione Granger. She is determined to shake off the label and even told a magazine company during one of her interviews that she is prepared to wait it out even though it takes her years to achieve it. Slowly but surely, she is breaking away from being Hogwarts’ favorite witch.
Emma Watson, aside from her acting skills and model features, is also known for her intelligence. As a matter of fact, she achieved eight A+ and two A passes in her GCSEs (exams English school pupils take in their last compulsory year of secondary school). For her tertiary education, she decided to enter the prominent Brown University. Sadly though, upon her admission to Brown University came the rumor that Emma Watson was actually being bullied by her classmates. Later on, following this controversy, Emma told everyone she dropped out of Brown University so she could concentrate on her acting career without having to worry about schoolwork. However, it seems there was more to it. An insider told the New York Daily News that whenever she was in class, she would participate by correctly answering questions posed by the professor and making it clear to everyone that she was smart. However, Watson's classmates would often respond to her answer with a quote from the Harry Potter series. The most popular choice was "Three points for Gryffindor!"
The rumored bullying of Emma came as a shock to the public, but (if it was really true) Emma handled the issue so well and she didn't let it affect her career. Furthermore, she continued achieving momentum in the industry, multiplying along with it her admirers and fans. A few proof of her success are her consistent appearances for six years in magazines as one of the sexiest, hottest and most desirable women of today’s generation. She was also named as the 'Highest Grossing Actress of the Decade' by the Guinness Book of World Records.
One trait we could get from Emma is the control and discipline over one's self in handling difficult situations in life. She has a grace and a levelheadedness rare among former child stars, and is quickly becoming one of Britain's most exciting leading ladies.
